The PedsDocTalk Podcast: Child Health, Development & Parenting—From a Pediatrician Mom

Why are breastfeeding rates so low in America?


Listen Later

The United States has the lowest breastfeeding rates of most developed countries. And this is a fault of the systemic issues at play. I invited Amanda Gorman, founder and chief clinical officer at Nest Collaborative and Pediatric NP, to discuss: 

  • Why our rates of breastfeeding are so low in the U.S.
  • How the lack of paid family leave impacts these rates
  • How we can advocate for breastfeeding families 

  • For more watch Dr. Mona's "The Worst Breast-Feeding Tip" video on YouTube.
