RE: breastfeeding prevents child abuse

[Guest guest]

Hi Liz! Here's one: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/123/2/483.abstract We had some good info in Ashtabula Co because we wrote for (and received) a grant from the Ohio Children's Trust Fund which was awarded for projects that reduced incidences of child abuse and neglect. We were able to do lactation consults & give away slings with that grant. Ask Laurie to look up that info for you...should be in files somewhere. son, IBCLCBF Peer HelperMuskingum Co WIC To: ibclc-pp Sent: Friday, April 13, 2012 9:52 AM Subject: breastfeeding prevents child abuse

Hi ladies,

Trying to present info and research on how breastfeeding can decrease the risks of child abuse. I am volunteering in a community group to prevent child abuse and would like to share this info. If anyone has any good links on this I would love it if you could share!!

Thanks so much!Liz Brown,IBCLC, RLC, CLCPeer HelperColumbiana County WIC
