Child Development and Public Health

For this topic I had to choose a public heath matter that impacted child development. The one I decided to choose was breast feeding. To me I feel like too many people think of breast feeding in a negative context when in fact it shouldn't be like that. Breast feeding is one of the most beautiful and special time that a mother shares with her baby.  Breast milk is so much better for the baby then formula is and there are so many more nutrients that the child gets. Sure that are times that it may be hard for the mother and baby but in the end it’s all worth it.  In Afghanistan breastfeeding is a common practice. There is an issue though because they are Muslims and have to cover all parts of body. They also have another problem the mother cannot feed her baby in front of male family members.
