Abstract

Child and maternal health have become significant issues for public health officials. Although infant mortality in the United States is currently at an all-time low, this is not the case in many developed and underdeveloped nations. For this reason, organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) have begun to investigate low-cost methods for helping both mother and child achieve a better health status. Among the most notable recommendations to be made in the last several years has been the support of using of breast milk rather than formula for nourishment of the infant during the first year of life. Research on the use of breast-feeding demonstrates that this method has a number of physical and mental health benefits for the mother and child including: decreased stress for both mother and child, improved nutrition and a decrease in the incidence of disease for the mother and better nutrition for the infant.
