I used to be in the La Leche League, and we were always told that the more the baby sucked at the breast, the more milk would be produced. But the key is keeping the baby at the breast. When moms are working, they may not have time to keep the baby sucking long and often enough to stimulate really good milk production. Subsidized maternity leaves of a year or more could go a long way towards improving breastfeeding rates in our country, along with a breastfeeding education and promotion campaign.
A clean life is its own reward.
