Breastfeeding Protection Initiative Aims to Raise Awareness of Breastfeeding Rights

Breastfeeding Protection Initiative Aims to Raise Awareness of Breastfeeding Rights

La Leche League International and Lansinoh team up with a cause bracelet to raise funds for awareness and education on breastfeeding rights and legislative issues

WASHINGTON, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine being told you must withhold food and nutrition from your child because someone else's comfort level is being compromised. Imagine being ridiculed or humiliated because you are trying to feed your baby. Imagine a child being forcibly withheld from its only source of nutrition because of a custody arrangement, divorce, or because you were called to serve for jury duty. Imagine making a child eat their food in a restroom. Think these things are not happening? Think again, because this is happening everyday to mothers who are merely trying to give their babies the best possible start in life as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the World Health Organization (WHO), and other leading medical organizations.

To try to raise funds to combat these types of situations through education and awareness of breastfeeding rights, La Leche League International and Lansinoh Laboratories today announce the launch of The Breastfeeding Protection Initiative(TM) with the release of Encourage, Support, Protect Breastfeeding(TM) cause bracelets.
