I definitely agree with you on information providing, but I think these actions all need careful cost/benefit analysis. > subsidize breast pumps Especially given that they can be rented, this is probably a clear positive to do. > subsidize breast milk banks Donor Milk is extremely expensive ($3-$5 an once). While infant consumers do see reduced rates of gastrointestinal tract infection and eczema, other benefits are less clear. Some more research would be needed to see if this is the best use of health dollars; perhaps a minimal amount of donor milk (several onces), combined with formula may be optimal. > subsidize lactation consultants so that everyone can afford them I'm down with this, as long as lactation consultants are more regulated. The ones we used were far overzealous in over-pushing breast feeding (e.g. overstating benefits)
