#410: Breastfeeding is hard. And racial and ethnic disparities don’t make breastfeeding any easier for Black and African American mothers.

In this episode Dr. Jackson explains how the Cinnamoms model is increasing the rate of breastfeeding for Black and African American moms at 6 months, and why this is so important as babies prepare to start solid foods.
