Dear Lactnet Friends:

Here are some other ideas to add to the other good topics suggested for
Child Welfare worker education about breastfeeding:

Domestic violence and reported cases of child abuse and neglect are lower
when there is breastfeeding in the home.

Breastfeeding initiation promotes a strong mothering relationship; there is
less child abandonment.

Women will choose to mother better than their own mothers  if the choice is
presented to them.

When a woman has a baby, there is a window of openness to new ideas.
Breastfeeding is one of those ideas.

Abused women may have a longer breastfeeding duration.

Mothers can breastfeed in a shelter.

warmly,
