Leading Breastfeeding Educator and
a Dozen Corporations Team up  to Educate
Expectant Mothers for free in Honor of  
World Breastfeeding Week

Posted by Kimberly A. Porrazzo

Denville, NJ - July 31, 2010 - Almost 80% of new
mothers initiate breastfeeding their newborn babies
in the hospital, yet only 13% reach 6 months of
exclusive breastfeeding – the minimum recommendation from the American
Academy of Pediatrics. According to a recent study published in the journal
of Pediatrics, a Harvard Medical School Professor and Doctor calculate that
the United States incurs $13 billion in excess costs annually and suffers 911
preventable deaths per year because our breastfeeding rates fall far below
medical recommendations.

In support of World Breastfeeding Week (August 1-7th) Shari Criso is
offering free on-demand viewing of her educational video at
http://www.
sharicriso.com/mybabyexperts. Criso is a leading breastfeeding educator
and award-winning author of the DVD, “Simply Breastfeeding”. Her clients’
success rates with breastfeeding to provide babies proper nutrition during
the first year of life far exceed the national average.

Criso says, “Wanting to do what’s best for your baby is a natural instinct, but
knowing what to do is a learned skill, especially with breastfeeding. You don’t
skip taking childbirth classes, have a birth at home completely unattended,
and become surprised if you have a bad outcome – No! You take a class,
make sure you have a team of professionals you trust around you to support
you and help ensure your success…breastfeeding is no different; you need
education and the right support – before, during, and after!”

Most expectant parents don’t realize they need breastfeeding education
BEFORE their baby is born and often those interested in breastfeeding
classes find it difficult to locate qualified resources. To further complicate the
situation hospitals are funded by the pharmaceutical companies that
produce infant formula (an 8 Billion dollar industry) and in many cases, are
required to distribute donated gifts bags to breastfeeding moms upon
discharge. Often these gift bags contain formula “just in case” breastfeeding
moms might need it.

Criso’s mission is to educate, empower and inspire as many new and
expectant parents as possible to successfully breastfeed their newborns, so
they can reach their fullest potential  physically, emotionally, and mentally,
regardless their location or their financial ability to pay for it. She has
partnered with top breastfeeding and baby brand products to offer her
education free via streaming video through September at
http://www.
sharicriso.com/mybabyexperts. Some of her partner companies include
Traditional Medicinals, Earth Mama Angel Baby, Bravado Designs, Viacord,
iCandy, Moboleez ,PumpEase and MyBrestFriend.
