"The take-home advice to new moms is that they should include breast feeding as part of their birthing plan and they should try to continue for at least six months so they and their baby can share the optimal benefits of breastfeeding," said study leader Lisette Jacobson of the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita.

"This adds to the burgeoning evidence that when we make it easier for mothers to breast-feed, we make mothers and babies healthier," said Dr. Alison M. Stuebe, an expert on breast-feeding who is the medical director of lactation services at UNC Health Care in Chapel Hill, N.C., and was not involved in the study.

Nestlé, the Switzerland-based food giant with significant operations in the United States, sought to distance itself from the threats against Ecuador and said the company would continue to support the international code on the marketing of breast milk substitutes, which calls on governments to regulate the inappropriate promotion of such products and to encourage breast-feeding.

It seems to elude the administration and its cheerleaders that this is not about crime or security, but about the most elemental human values; that ordering armed border guards to cruelly and needlessly rip children from mothers — in one case, while she was breast-feeding the child — goes against fundamental American values and undercuts its standing in the world.

The report praised seven countries for making the most progress: Nepal for fewer stunted children, Suriname for fewer underweight children, Jamaica for fewer obese children, Peru for less female anemia and more breast-feeding, Nauru for fewer adults with a body mass index over 25, North Korea for fewer adults with a B.M.I. over 30, and Israel for less adult diabetes.

And this display is followed by one of the show's best curatorial progressions, from 1950s maternity wear through the Snugli and fanny pack to a bulbous gingham ensemble from Comme des Garçon's idiosyncratic 1997 "Bump Collection, " In between, there's the prototype for Wei Hung Chen's Modular Dress 2.0, whose adjustable pleats accommodate both the expanding body during pregnancy and breast-feeding.

"A lot of black mothers don't have much support from home from a grandmother or father who might say, 'Just give that baby a bottle,' if the baby is crying or fussy," said Ruby Crawford-Hemphill, assistant chief nursing officer at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, who has worked with black mothers and families on breast-feeding education community initiatives.

I read constantly when I'm not with my family or working — and sometimes even when I'm with my family, if my husband is already asleep (he is right now: shhh) or if I am breast-feeding my son and I need to be quiet, as if I make a sound or move he will sweetly get distracted and want to talk (O.

They, in turn, relied on a study based on a review by the Institute of Medicine (now the National Academy of Medicine) that recommended several categories of services: well-woman visits, screening for gestational diabetes, counseling for sexually transmitted infections, breast-feeding support, screening and counseling for domestic violence, and — most at risk of repeal now — contraceptive methods and counseling.

Among the options announced on Friday were a woman in a head scarf, a woman breast-feeding, and what the company called the love-you gesture, which it said was designed after the sign for "I love you" in American Sign Language, which combines the signs for the letters I, L and Y. So, how does a new emoji find its way to your screen?

She was the lead author of a National Institutes of Health community study published last summer in Pediatrics, which found that the newborns of African-American women were nine times more likely than the babies of white mothers to be given formula in hospitals – a factor the researchers considered a significant contributor to the entrenched disparity in breast-feeding rates between black, white and Hispanic mothers.

Because general pediatrics tends to skew toward visits with younger children (there are a lot of checkups and immunizations in those first years of life), I am pretty regularly immersed in those issues of breast-feeding, infant sleep, toddler behavior, not to mention upper respiratory infections, diaper rashes and upset stomachs, which figured prominently in my personal life as well for all those years when my own children were young.

"I'm a pediatrician and I've always advised mothers not to supplement, especially in the first few weeks of establishing breast-feeding, so hearing that there was still so much introduction of formula in the hospital was surprising to me," said Dr. Madeleine Shalowitz, a co-author of the N.I.H. study who is a pediatrician with NorthShore University HealthSystem and a research associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.

" Continued Arbour: "It was created with every intention of bringing a light to women's experiences such as the shaming of mothers breast feeding, common place date rape drugging, the labels put on us of 'prude or hoe,' pressures to create a family, workplace harassment, the glass ceiling, drug dependency, effects of social media on modern relationships and self, and included a nod to the cheerleaders who have come forward demanding at least min wage from the multi million dollar corporations they work for.

The study found consistent associations between sleep duration and breast-feeding — at each age, the children with longer sleep durations were significantly less likely to be breast-fed — though again, there is no way to say anything about cause and effect here, Marie-Hélène Pennestri, a psychologist who is an assistant professor of educational and counseling psychology at McGill University, who was first author on the study, drew a distinction between measuring those long blocks of sleep, and looking at other measures such as total sleep duration.

The message that dehydration is a major risk in babies and small children is one pediatricians have been struggling to deliver for a long time; it's what we are talking about every time we ask about how many wet diapers a newborn has in a day, as breast-feeding is being established (we are generally happy with six), or every time we go through instructions for how to give fluids to a child with gastroenteritis who is vomiting (wait for 20 to 30 minutes or so and then start giving small sips; call the doctor if the vomiting keeps happening).

By the nineteen-seventies, after the baby-formula industry aggressively marketed its product to doctors, breast-feeding had declined precipitously in the U.S. It was revived in the nineteen-eighties, thanks to large-scale public-health campaigns, and later to studies showing such health benefits as improved metabolism and higher I.Q. If you've been pregnant in the past forty years, you've no doubt been on the receiving end of these campaigns—from the poster in the doctor's office announcing "Breast Is Best!" to the Instagram influencer doing yoga while a baby suckles peacefully at her nipple.
