Breastfeeding
I decide to choose the public health topic on breastfeeding, because I am a parent whom participated in breastfeeding. It is meaningful to me because it gave me the opportunity to experience it personally. The nutrients, vitamins, and the antibodies my child received from breastfeeding help him to fight off various illness and infection. My son use to suffer from eczema but since I was breastfeeding him the symptoms only appear if he ate things he was allergic to. It is said that breastfeed baby are healthy babies. When breastfeeding there is bond and attachment developed. My benefits from breastfeeding were I lost weigh while doing it. I encourage people to at least try it before they actually say no.
Breastfeeding around the World
I decide to research various countries on breastfeeding. In France it is said that 50 percent of mothers breastfeeds, and 30 percent stop after the 3 months. In Ireland breastfeeding is very rare; some mothers will try it but decide that it is not working for them and stop. In the United Kingdom breastfeeding is very much taboo. They majority of people there don’t think it is appropriate to breastfeed in public. Most midwives are pro-breastfeeding. African women often come to the experience of breastfeeding with little or no doubt and trust in their ability to produce enough milk or milk of the right quantity. Many people have various opinions on whether to breastfeed or not to breastfeed. Breastfeeding offer a lot of healthy benefits that will help the child. My opinion is to research the benefits of it and encourage mothers to try it at least one time before they decide it is not for them.
