"Promotion of Mother's Milk, Inc. (ProMOM) is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to
                          increasing public awareness and public
acceptance of breastfeeding. Breast milk is the perfect
                          infant food, providing babies with ideal
nutrition, immunity against disease, and optimal
                          digestion. Many mothers are unaware of these
benefits and may choose to formula feed
because of embarrassment, fear of social ostracism or perceived
inconvenience. Our mission at ProMOM is to educate the
general public, the medical community, the media, and prospective and
new parents about all of the substantial benefits of
breastfeeding."
