Highlighting Breastfeeding (Program Repeat)

THURSDAY, AUGUST 21
PROGRAM #10873 11:00 AM PT

Highlighting Breastfeeding (Program Repeat). 

The first week of August marks a key moment to highlight breastfeeding as both a right and a vital public health strategy. While exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months of life, not all mothers can do so. What social challenges do new mothers face? Who cares for the caregivers? What does it mean to defend breastfeeding in a country where dignified conditions are at risk? Why is breastfeeding considered more than just nourishment? This program was originally aired on August 5, 2025.

Guests: Dr. Diana Ramos, California Surgeon General, Office of the Governor, Sacramento, CA; Carmen Valverde, Volunteer Breastfeeding Counselor, Breastfeeding USA, Dodge City, KS.
