I have not been on facebook the past couple of years, but I wanted to share something near and dear to my heart. Last year I traveled to Northern Iraq to help create a breastfeeding support program for women and babies living in a refugee camp. There are many reasons why this work is so important, but the biggest one being that families simply do not have the resources to purchase formula and families are left in dire circumstances when formula distribution ends due to funding cuts with aid organizations. The community health workers (CHW) I trained, four women total, provide weekly prenatal and postpartum breastfeeding classes as well as individual tent visits. I just returned from my second trip to Iraq, and the program has had wonderful success over the past 13 months. Our funding is set to run out at the end of January. I know money is tight at Christmas time, but please consider donating so that this work can continue. 100% of the money donated goes towards the CHWs salaries, and to providing food packs to women who attend our classes. Please feel free to share this post and information!

The United States’ opposition to the WHA breastfeeding resolution is appalling. And it is also in line with decades of US policies that have prioritized corporate profit over public health.

This is the result of greed; we can and should do better than this. Please read the full article.

“‘What happened was tantamount to blackmail, with the U.S. holding the world hostage and trying to overturn nearly 40 years of consensus on best way to protect infant and young child health,’ she said.

A resolution to encourage breast-feeding was expected to be approved quickly and easily by the hundreds of government delegates who gathered this spring in Geneva for the United Nations-affiliated World Health Assembly.

Based on decades of research, the resolution says that mother’s milk is healthiest for children and countries should strive to limit the inaccurate or misleading marketing of breast milk substitutes.

Then the United States delegation, embracing the interests of infant formula manufacturers, upended the deliberations.

A 2016 Lancet study00210-5/fulltext) found that universal breast-feeding would prevent 800,000 child deaths a year across the globe and yield $300 billion in savings from reduced health care costs and improved economic outcomes for those reared on breast milk.”

Trade sanctions. Withdrawal of military aid. The Trump administration used both to try to block a measure that was considered uncontroversial and embraced by countries around the world.
