October is Breast Cancer Awareness month!

One of every eight women in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer. Mothers who breastfeed for more than a year cut their risk of breast cancer by 26%. Yet, only 35% of U.S. mothers breastfed their infants for at least a year as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
