To add weight to this recommendation, the incidence of breast cancer has been
increasing about 1% every year since the 1940's!
Wondering about these things as I look at my stamp collection......
a 1981 USA 18cent stamp honoring the American Red Cross that depicts a Red

applicable to a mom breastfeeding her infant.  A sign of the times, I guess.
