YOU'RE INVITED...

When most people think about breastfeeding they think about mothers nursing their little babies - and they stop right there. But there's a world of policy, politics, history, figures, facts and myths surrounding this ancient art. Breastfeeding affects the health of mothers and babies, the financial stability of families and nations, the productivity of mothers in the workplace and the well-being of the environment. And breastfeeding is - for better or worse - profoundly affected by the cultural beliefs of every society in the world. Breastfeeding at a Glance invites you to take a brief tour of the fascinating world of breastfeeding. You'll find compelling answers to important questions that matter to all of us. So sit down, make yourself comfortable - and enjoy the ride! You might just find the answer to a question you didn't even know you had!
