The New York Times on Tuesday examined an HHS
public health
initiative that is encouraging women in the U.S.
to breast-feed,
which some experts say can improve infants'
health and reduce
their risk of some developmental disorders. The
public health
campaign, called "Healthy People 2010" aims to
have 50% of
women who delivered infants to continue
breast-feeding for up to six
months after delivery. Some health officials say
that breast-feeding
has been shown to be so beneficial to women that
they now must be
warned that it might be risky not to breast-feed.
Some people -- including Lawrence Gartner, chair
of the American
Academy of Pediatrics' breast-feeding section --
say breast-feeding
can protect infants and children against ear
infections, diarrhea,
meningitis, upper and lower respiratory
infections, and pneumonia.
In addition, some evidence has shown breastmilk
to be beneficial in
improving premature infants' cognitive
development, the Times reports.
However, some critics say the new campaign
overstates the benefits of
breast-feeding and could make women who cannot
breast-feed, or who
opt not to, feel ashamed and inadequate, the
Times reports (Rabin [1],
New York Times, 6/13). The Times in a related
article on Tuesday also
examined the benefits of breast-feeding in
preventing childhood obesity
(Rabin [2], New York Times, 6/13).
