CDC Breastfeeding program

The CDC has a responsibility to American citizens to ensure that the society receives appropriate information on some of the most important health issues therein. Consequently, implementing programs that would ultimately improve the country’s health status is one of the organizations’ mandate. By tracing and providing information on periods taken by children breastfeeding, the organization is able to provide appropriate advice on the best steps forward with regard to ensuring a healthy status for the children (CDC, 2018). Through guidance on appropriate practice, mothers increase the chances of a healthy future for their children through optimal breastfeeding.
