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.
