The latter typically switch to cow's milk before the recommended age of 12 mos. If U.S. women got a year's worth of paid maternity leave like many other developed countries offer, *THAT* would be true breastfeeding support. Most moms I know who weaned their babies before a year did so because their maternity leave was up and they didn't want the hassle of pumping.

I fail to see how it supports breastfeeding in any way. Wow the name of the kit just kills me! I fail to see how it supports breastfeeding in any way.
