Six things I’ve learned about making breast-feeding accessible for all

Excellent observations on making breastfeeding more accessible this Black Breastfeeding Week (Aug 25 - 31): "Too often, the breast-feeding dialogue is centered around the mainstream — typically white, middle-class women — and their experiences. The picture of breast-feeding needs more hourly workers, retail employees and recognition of the unique challenges for schoolteachers and health-care professionals. We must also look at women’s lived experiences. What do we know about black, Latina and Native women that could help inform policy and advocacy? Solutions come from centering those most affected by disparities. In the United States, that means focusing on black women.
