Ms. Jayce, 6 months pregnant with her first child, visits you at the clinic. She wants to bottle-feed her baby; however, some coworkers have told her it is much better to breastfeed. She wants your opinion and has several questions for you to answer

"How long do the experts recommend breastfeeding? I want to go back to work and I don't think I could do that pumping at work."


"The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breast milk for the first 6-12 months of life. Some women are not able to do that and it would be perfectly acceptable for you to breastfeed the child for any time period you desire. A beginning with breast milk would be a great beginning."?
