Overview:
Breast milk is the optimal nutrition for the infant and has many health benefits for both baby and mother. The advantages to breastfeeding extend past the nutritional aspect, and range from psychological, environmental, and socioeconomic. Pediatricians should be well-versed in supporting breastfeeding infants and their mothers from the newborn period and beyond. The Cincinnati Pediatric Society presents "Breastfeeding Saves Lives: The Pediatrician's Role" to identify the most pressing challenges to breastfeeding for patients and the solutions that pediatricians can utilize to overcome these barriers
