The most developed country in the world, the United States, is also very aware of the promotion of breastfeeding, based on the multiple advantages that this type of diet provides for both children and women. He has achieved that 73 percent of mothers breastfeed their children, and their goal is to raise the figure to 75 in 2010.
It is important to know all possible ways to reach women more incisively and with better results. It is obvious to think that education by doctors and nurses is a very useful weapon, but it has been shown that simple mention is not useful, but that The toilets must strive to give all the information To future mothers.
For some years now there has been an independent commission of experts in primary care in the United States called the "Special Group on Preventive Services", whose work lies in the exaltation of breastfeeding and in the investigation of ways to promote it and reach people better.
This group has been responsible for reviewing 25 studies and guidelines conducted worldwide on breastfeeding. After this review, they have published their conclusions in the journal "Annals of Internal Medicine".
The results show that it is not valid that health workers only mention breastfeeding or give a leaflet, but that they must be thoroughly informed from the beginning of pregnancy and not only after childbirth. It was shown that the actions carried out from primary care are the ones that gave the best results.
They also emphasize that in addition to following mothers throughout pregnancy and postpartum period to be able to resolve all doubts about breastfeeding, it is equally important for health care providers to try avoid creating feelings of guilt in mothers who cannot or do not want breastfeeding your children, as this effect sometimes occurs after so much promotion.
