As a breastfeeding mom I am always so sad when our global economic system makes it impossible for women to breastfeed. I am so lucky in Canada I had mat leave. My baby was exclusively breastfed until the age of 1 when she only slowly starting to show an interest in foods such as cereal. Fortunately I was able to work part-time and remotely so that I could continue to breastfeed her, which continued to make up a sizeable part of her diet until age 2. At 3 1/2 I am still breastfeeding her, and I am grateful despite economic sacrifices I had to make (and it really hasn't been easy), there was a general economic support through mat leave and then family benefits to maintain a strong breastfeeding bond/ lifestyle. I definitely can see, however, why that option wouldn't be available to everyone -- breastfeeding is a beautiful gift that I am so grateful I can continue to give my daughter - I hope that all babies can have that basic human right and we do need to make it a priority.
