According to a recent
study, if only the mothers breastfeed their children during the first six months, would save about 1000 children and billions of dollars each year in the United States.
And yes, they are studies (like most studies womb and its advantages), they are not perfect, that is, many experts in the field of research we can find weaknesses in them and end with the evidence not very strong on the issue. But one thing is certain. There are many recommendations that doctors give every day where quality scientific research is still in diapers, or is very difficult to get out. We 
to put everything in context. According to this study would save 1000 lives and save billions of dollars a year to prevent deaths from gastroenteritis, sudden death, including ear infections. How much it costs us to the womb? The answer is little or nothing financially. Perhaps a mother who needs to work out of working hours to feed her baby. Therefore, the cost: benefit ratio is very low, even if scientific evidence is poor what harm is done with the womb? 
. When someone is as is and without hypocrisy or double side they say it like it is or how it feels to be. He wishes a blog called "The Feminist Breeder." Although not as some of the feminists I know that only the passing saying how the woman must do everything like men, the lady, a law student defines his ideology as a mother who is both feminist struggle for rights of women.
Mrs. interesting and makes a clever analogy: Car seats. How many of us say: "I will not put the car seat for my son, do not feel I can all the time and until you have six months?
The car seat saves lives, it is a fact based on studies obtained Observation of low quality but still, the cost: benefit ratio is low and I have heard scientists say that the wonder is not that its benefits are exaggerated, well, after all, this is the life of our children.
Why do not we do the same with breastfeeding?
According to the authors of the study in the U.S. only 17% of mothers breastfed until six months old baby. In Mexico, the figures vary, but ranges from 15% to 50% (probably for the education and socioeconomic differences. If desired, the article in PDF can be found here
). Just human beings would not have survived if during evolution only 17% of women had breastfed their babies. Many reasons reported to cause poor breastfeeding is the lack of production, the typical "no longer produced milk, do not make me feel guilty, you're not a woman and not know what you say." Honestly, this is not the battle of the sexes between Mars and Venus, if women say and think the same, so I put the link of the blog of Mrs. "feminist breeder" and you can find below:
When It Comes to Breastfeeding, We Can not Handle The Truth
is not the fault of women, much less is my intention to make them feel guilty, is guilty of a system that allows or makes it difficult or impossible to breast feed. Society needs women to work or they can not stay home, there is space for breastfeeding, no education, no leaders who support the measure, few husbands / husbands who support their partners, companies pharmaceutical doctors promote infant formula, physicians who accept these practices, etc.
breastfeeding is not easy, that's a fact and I've seen with many patients and not easy to tie up our baby car seat every time you climb, but both save lives. Breastfeeding is not something "super duper extra ordinary" ... is simple, beautiful and natural.
