Children's book aims to normalize and educate people about breastfeeding

October 10, 2022

Studies have shown that a lack of support for breastfeeding and a lack of education about it can act as a breastfeeding barrier.


Many say that it’s important for not only mothers to be informed about breastfeeding but their entire family, as it can make for a better and more inclusive experience.


Dr. Uhmaka N namani, author of “Ziora’s Quest: Mommy’s Milk Rocks!”, Pediatrician and Chapter Breastfeeding Coordinator for Pennsylvania American Academy of Pediatrics, and her daughters Amara and Uhla who were involved in the creation of her book join us to talk about their book and the importance of children’s literacy around breastfeeding.
