Infant mortality is reduced by 50% when Black mothers choose to breastfeed. According to WHO and UNICEF breastfeeding well into toddlerhood (12-24 months and beyond) provides our black babies with:
🤎29% of energy requirements
🤎43% of protein requirements
🤎36% of calcium requirements
It is documented according to WHO and UNICEF that breastfeeding decreases childhood obesity, gastrointestinal viruses, upper respiratory issues…etc. It is no secret that our black babies are less likely to get admitted to the emergency room and also, less likely to be given pain medication. (table those stats for another day 😐)
That being said let’s provide our black infants/toddlers with breast
milk specifically designed for their bodies consisting of minerals, antivirals, enzymes, vitamins, and more to decrease certain illnesses and death.
