Breastfeeding: An Investment That Saves Time. Click here for a pdf of the laminated card that Ameda first made available as a teaching tool during World Breastfeeding Week in 2006. It features a chart from the book Breastfeeding Made Simple: Seven Natural Laws for Nursing Mothers by Nancy Mohrbacher and Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, which illustrates that despite the intensity of breastfeeding during the early weeks, as mother and baby get more practiced, it eventually takes less time than bottle-feeding. Understanding this concept can help promote exclusive breastfeeding and longer breastfeeding duration.
