A Breastfeeding PSA that's close to my heart since as a new father I see the benefits
By William Levins
When we learned we were expecting, my wife knew instantly she wanted to breastfeed. Fortunately, after a few minor difficulties the first few days, it's been terrific. She's happy and our baby is healthy.
Breastfeeding is amazing for newborns.
The more you learn about the benefits of breastfeeding, the more you have to be amazed by it. It benefits both mother and child in health and bonding. It just seems so natural. So it's odd that in America it's perceived as the distant second choice. This is the opposite of the rest of the world where breastfeeding is the leader by a wide margin.
So when I stumbled upon this breastfeeding PSA on Adfreak it brought a smile to my face. It'd be nice if the negative perception of breastfeeding could be removed in the United States. It really does seem to offer tremendous benefits for the child...and I'll admit, I like the savings recognized when NOT buying formula.
