Abstract

Numerous advantages for infants, their mothers, families, and society from breastfeeding and the use of expressed human milk have been documented by extensive research. These benefits extend beyond the infant’s health and development by contributing to the mother’s wellness and that of families and the general community by raising healthier individuals [1]. Consumption of human milk is advantageous to the environment, as manufacturing and transport of infant formulas demands energy and produces waste. There are appreciable cost savings from a reduction in formula purchasing [2–4].
