Breastfeeding is good for the environment and good for babies.
To encourage and support breastfeeding in Israel, the breastfeeding support organization La Leche League (LLL) and Tel Hashomer/Sheba Medical Center Nursing School are co-sponsoring a conference Monday, June 1, 2009 at Tel Hashomer.
The conference is open to health care professionals, nursing mothers, and the general public.
The conference will include lectures by physicians and lactation experts on breastfeeding premature babies, milk supply issues, natural fertility, breastpumps, and introduction of complementary foods (solids).
You can get a registration form from La Leche League Israel’s website. Space limited.

Breast feeding helps babies in so many ways. It gives them the essential nutrients they need, helps with their immune system and builds an important bond with the mother. Hopefully this awareness campaign will do it's job.
breastfeeding is very advisable for the moms … it gives a good development for the baby as it grows older..

Thanks for this article – breast feeding makes such a difference on the development of a baby’s skull bones. I’d love to see more mothers breast feeding and given their babies milk that was designed for them!
Great effort by the government. I am sure this will raise awareness on breast feeding.
