August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month. The main focus is to highlight the benefits of breastfeeding for babies and moms, promote breastfeeding friendly spaces, to promote breastfeeding when possible, and to promote the support of breastfeeding. Listeners, we know that nutrition is integral to chronic disease prevention and overall health, but nutrition starts at infancy and even before.
