Minority Moms & Breastfeeding : Teri’s Interview
How are minority moms succeeding with breastfeeding? This was my thought after attending the Bravado Breastfeeding Information Council (BBIC) launch event where research and findings based on 17 years of expertise on 80,000 moms were shared and discussed.
Weeks after the event I was still curious so I decided to interview some minority moms within my social network. The respond and info shared from the moms is so encouraging that each week I’ll post a different interview.
This weeks interview is with Teri who considers herself African-American from multi-racial parents. Her dad is Indian(South Asian)/South American(German descent).
