Only 13 percent of 6-month-olds nourished by mom
By delivery day, nurse Meg Hayden knows which mothers are going to breast- or bottle-feed.The Baltimore Washington Medical Center nurse tells new moms about the benefits of mothers' milk. Still, some women opt for the bottle, and Maryland is behind in reaching its federal breast-feeding goals.
"It's an important bonding time for mom and baby, and the baby can be fed and comfortable a little quicker than if you have to stop and make a bottle," said Hayden, who also leads breast-feeding classes. "It can be trying and difficult. Once you get over that hump of the first couple of weeks, it ends up being much easier in the long run."

it's not easy getting over the hump.
Are they talking about feeding off of the governments teet?
I will say this as nice as I can. If a woman can feed at home no problem, but let me just say. I own 2 businesses in the area, and I am planning to open another very soon and if a woman comes into my business to eat, and pops out a boob, I as well as others in the area, will ask her to leave. Now you come here's take you lactating selves and go some where else. Go To Delaware where people aren't offended by a nipple slip during dinner. I'm not joking!!
