Dear Friends:
If our babies aren't healthy and can't grow to live well, what is the point
of anything?
The duty of society is to make the world safe for the next generation. That
means enabling women to mother fully, and for all people to have the chance to
reach their potential. Breastfeeding is deeper than a right, it is a quality
of who we are, a reflection of our essence.............part of our DNA.
We need healthy babies, as who will take care of and nourish us when we are
old?
warmly,

When the well-being of the child
is seen to be the central issue (as so eloquently stated in many
UNICEF documents) then, by association, this highlights the unique
and irreplaceable role that only women can play as the nurturers and
carers of their children. Seen in this light, the duty of society is
to enable women SO THAT they can mother their babies. Breastfeeding,
public or private, is not a right of women, but the right of their
babies. Maternity leave is not a right of women, but the right of
babies. Being truly baby-friendly would mean being mother-friendly,
since mothering itself, would at last be accorded a value - to
become, in effect, invaluable.
