  How sadly ironic that you and the cast helped damage the image of breastfeeding on the same day that you focused on childhood obesity. Children who are breastfed exclusively for six months and then along with solids until they turn one year old are 72% less likely to be obese as adults. It seems very likely that the women's lib movement that improved living conditions for women immeasurably had a blowback effect on breastfeeding, and the country's skyrocketing obesity rates are a reflection of that. Mothers who breastfeed are less likely to experience postpartum depression after birth, and discovering the wonders of one's body is an extremely empowering and liberating experience for a woman.
Breastfeeding also improves general health and IQ, which are both financially advantageous for the government in the long run. I am sure you think it's fine for the government to make policy for other health issues that greatly improve children's lives like mothers shouldn't smoke or drink during pregnancy. Our government has limited advertising for the sake of young people's health as well. Other than the fact that Norway's position is new and foreign to you, how is it different from these issues we now consider normal? For your information, I keep two blogs and this email will be published on them both. You can visit if you care to reply. www.planetsprogblog.blogspot.com www.planetnomad.blogspot.com
