An Important Message on Safe Breastfeeding from Jillian Johnson

Fed is Best Foundation Raises Awareness at the U.S. Task Force on Research for Pregnant and Lactating Women

On February 26, 2018, Dr. Christie del Castillo-Hegyi, traveled to the NIH to raise awareness on the dangerous gaps in breastfeeding management and education that is leading to common and serious complications in exclusively breastfed newborns. She discussed the lack of safety data on the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative and the complications caused by the push to increase rates of exclusive breastfeeding at discharge. She advocated for universal hospital reporting and informed consent of breastfeeding complications in order to protect infants from the dangers of underfeeding.
