Breastfeeding offers many benefits for babies, mothers, families, and our environment. Current research indicates that women decide on the method of feeding during their childhood and long before they conceive. Ensuring students have access to current, evidence-based information, linked to their curriculum will assist them in making informed decisions in the future.
