Why is ACOG's Focus on Breastfeeding Important for Pediatric Care?
ACOG strongly advocates for breastfeeding due to its numerous health benefits for both the mother and the infant. Pediatricians use ACOG's recommendations to support and educate mothers about breastfeeding, which is crucial for the infant's nutrition, immune support, and overall health. ACOG's guidelines also help identify and manage breastfeeding challenges, ensuring that infants receive the best possible start in life.
