| | UNISON Scotland Response to Breastfeeding (Scotland) Bill |
 | | Culturally, there is the belief that it is acceptable to breastfeed a new born baby, but as the baby grows into a toddler some people find this less acceptable. | | | Breastfeeding is an entirely natural practice, and we believe that breastfeeding mothers and their children should be treated with dignity and respect. | | | We believe that it is right that we should promote a culture that is supportive of breastfeeding, and encourages women to breastfeed their babies for as long as is possible and/or appropriate. |

| | The purpose of MOBI (Mothers Overcoming Breastfeeding Issues) is to give women a place to discuss their emotions over not being able to breastfeed successfully. | | | This baby has such a strong sucking reflex that he is able to draw the breast all the way into his mouth and nasal cavity, blocking the airway which allows him to obtain suction. | | | It is true, though that if you pinch a cleft affected baby's nose, then they are able to build up the negative pressure needed to suck. |

| | Sadly, most women in the US do not breastfeed, mostly because they are uninformed about the benefits or ashamed by the idea of feeding thier child that way. | | | Later (at home) I ended up crying over the whole thing, not because I felt it was wrong for her to breastfeed in public, but because of my insecurities, my husband's lack of sensitivity, and the breastfeeding mother's seeming inconsideration for others. | | | Bottle feeding is increasingly common and regarded as the modern way to do things despite doctors trying to encourage mothers to breastfeed. |

| | Why aren't more women breastfeeding? |
| | Some mothers who anticipate having to wean on returning to work never even breastfeed at all, depriving their babies of the early benefits of colostrum and themselves of the breastfeeding experience. | | | Other factors which come into play in decisions of mothers about breastfeeding and their success in continuing to breastfeed, include cultural beliefs, mismanagement by hospital staff and other health care providers, and the marketing practices of formula companies, some of which I will explore further. | | | Your doctor (be it your family doctor who is doing your prenatal care, delivery and caring for parents, baby and other family members; or your obstetrician and your pediatrician), should demonstrate strong support of your decision to breastfeed and be knowledgeable about the basics of breastfeeding management. |
