"The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists strongly supports
breastfeeding and calls upon its Fellows, other health professionals
caring for women and their infants, hospitals and employers to support women in
choosing to breastfeed their infants. All should work to facilitate the

Breastfeeding is the preferred method of feeding for newborns and infants."
