#SaludTues Tweetchat 1p ET 8/25/15: The Nursing Mom: A Look at Benefits & Barriers to Breastfeeding

Share On Social!

Some children between the ages of 0-5 are at a higher risk than their peers for being overweight. Research shows that breastfeeding may be one important way to promote a healthy weight for both moms and their babies.

Yet, while breastfeeding is strongly encouraged up to 2 years of age, many moms lack the support they need to continue breastfeeding.

Join us for a #SaludTues tweetchat on August 25, 2015, to learn more about the importance of breastfeeding and how to support an environment that encourages  moms to continue breastfeeding.
