I have been commisioned to develope a mission statement for our county on the
policy of breastfeeding. I would appreciate any input on it. Here it is...
Breast feeding is the natural way to produce healthy, happy, babies and
mothers in Shatsta County. Our goals are to educate Health care
professionals to give appropriate advice to keep mothers nursing their
babies well into the first year and beyond. To inform parents-to-be of the
deeply satisfying, health-optimizing, and money-saving benefits of feeding
their babies breast milk for at least the first year. To make the general
public aware of the life-long advantages the breast-fed individual enjoys so
that all people will encourage rather than discourage the breastfeeding
mother.
So what do you think? It sounds a little lofty to me as I write it out
again. Too wordy? Not professional enough?
