"We know that breastfeeding gives babies complete nutrition plus immunological benefits to launch them on a healthy life. Breastfeeding also provides its particular benefits at low cost...We must therefore identify and reduce those barriers which keep women from initiating or continuing to breastfeed their infants."
- C. Everett Koop, MD, Sc.D. 1984
