Guest guest Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 HI All,I don't know if any of you have seen this. It is what we have been looking for from Mrs. Obama.Quote of the Day: Obama"And finally, it’s one thing we can think about, is working to make sure that our kids get a healthy start from the beginning, by promoting breastfeeding in our communities. (Applause.) One thing we do know is that babies that are breastfed are less likely to be obese as children, but 40 percent of African American babies are never breastfed at all, not even during the first weeks of their lives. And we know this isn’t possible or practical for some moms, but we’ve got a WIC program that’s providing new support to low-income moms who want to try so that they get the support they need.And under the new health care legislation, businesses will now have to accommodate mothers who want to continue breastfeeding once they get back to work. (Applause.) Now, the men, you may not understand how important that is. (Laughter.) But trust me, it’s important to have a place to go." Obama, in speech to NAACP, July 12, 2010 Leigh Anne O'Connor, IBCLCleighanne625@...www.leighanneoconnor.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
