The Platte County Health Department is recognizing August as breastfeeding awareness month. The health department calls breastfeeding one of the single most important decisions a new mother can make to assure health and contentment for her baby.
Jolin Mahoney, Parkville, said she always had the desire to breastfeed and the information that she received from the health department helped facilitate that desire with knowledge.
