Onderwerp: New study on breastfeeding and work


>http://www.acs.ohio-state.edu/units/research/archive/brstfeed.htm


it says:  “There is competition between breast-feeding and employment,” he said. “In our
study, the women who worked full-time represented the lowest percentage of breast-feeders,
while the women working one to nine hours per week breast-fed most frequently.”


in the Nethrlands this is different. I do not know exact data of parttime versus fulltime,
but in the Netherlands working mothers breastfeed more than SAH mothers.  this is the result
of the socio-economic status of the working women: they are higher educated, hence tend to
breastfeed more.

still it counteracts the suggestion that comes from this study from Ohio, that working and
bf are kidn of contradicted
