Fund and institute paid maternity leave for all mothers for one full year so moms and infants can bond and breastfeed, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Why is this important?
All mothers and infants need to be together to bond and to breastfeed. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a full year of breastfeeding for both baby's and mother's health. This doesn't happen when moms have to return to work after six weeks (if they have paid sick leave). Most families can't afford to take unpaid family leave.
