What Would Lactopia Look Like?

Let your imagination go wild!  What would the world look like if breastfeeding was ultimately supported?

  • Every mother has breastfeeding education during pregnancy
  • Pregnant women are encouraged to breastfeed by their friends and family and are offered positive stories
  • All health care workers mention breastfeeding in a positive light
  • Every maternity shop promotes breastfeeding bras, tops and night gowns
  • All new mothers chose to breastfeed and plan on it for at least a year
  • Every hospital makes skin-to-skin care the norm after vaginal and cesarean deliveries
  • Rooming-in is standard in all hospitals
  • Formula and pacifiers are not available in hospitals except for true medical need
  • Visitors are limited in hospitals to “immediate family” only
  • Every mother has erect nipples that are easy for latch
  • Every mother’s milk comes-in in 24-48 hours
  • No breastfeeding mother has sore nipples
  • Mothers are able to breastfeed around the clock as long as their baby requests that and are not tired the next day
  • Engorgement is mild and viewed as a good sign that the milk “is-in”
  • Breastfeeding mothers do no need a support group because everyone is supportive
  • All mothers have an abundant milk supply
  • No mother ever leaks, especially when she is in the company of strangers or co-workers
  • Slings and carriers replace “baby buckets”
  • Most employers have day care facilities in-house and encourage mothers to feed 2-3 times per day
  • Other employers offer private breast pumping facilities
  • Every store, restaurant, office, airport and airplane the breastfeeding mother visits, encourages her to stop, relax and feed her baby
  • All babies gain weight at an appropriate rate (WHO standards)
  • Everyone who encounters the breastfeeding mother says “You are still breastfeeding, aren’t you?”
  • Formula manufacturers are in danger of going out of business
  • There is a rainbow over every breastfeeding mother’s residence

And all babies get the benefit of breastfeeding for at least a year
