I don't want to shock you, but
women of all races breastfeed.
Not exact matches
While it is possible for a
woman to physically or psychologically be unable to
breastfeed that sub-section
of woman is statistically small — most certainly not 87 %
of woman or the human
race would not have made it very far.
Medical record review, upstate New York, all
women of «Hispanic ethnicity» (mainly Puerto Rican)(n = 235) or «Black
race» (n = 263) Healthy mothers who attempted to
breastfeed with healthy single, term infant
You can tell black moms that they shouldn't care that most representations
of breastfeeding include white
women because we are «all
women», but that «close our eyes and pretend
race doesn't exist» approach hasn't worked.
Because
race is a factor in
breastfeeding duration among term infants (39 %
of white US infants are
breastfeeding at 6 months compared with 24 %
of African American infants3) and because
of the high incidence
of premature births among African American
women, we performed a subgroup analysis on African American subjects.
The human
race would have become extinct a long time ago if
women THEN had made up the unbelievable quantity
of excuses
women of TODAY make up in order not to
breastfeed.
