correct answer
Do you think it is selfish not to breast feed? correct answer Mothers who decide
not to breastfeed their child must be respected for their choice, midwives are
being told.
New advice from the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) stresses new mothers
should be given appropriate support if they make an informed decision to bottle
feed.
The guidance still says babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first six
months, in line with advice from the World Health Organisation (WHO).
But the RCM acknowledges some mothers struggle to start or carry on
breastfeeding, and says the decision is a woman's right.
Chief executive Gill Walton said: "Evidence clearly shows that breastfeeding in line
with WHO guidance brings optimum benefits for the health of both mother and
baby. However, the reality is that often some women for a variety of reasons
struggle to start or sustain breastfeeding.
"The RCM believes that women should be at the centre of their own care and, as
with other areas of maternity care, midwives and maternity support workers
should promote informed choice."
