Breastfeeding during military deployment: a soldier's story
Abstract:
Thousands of women of childbearing age are serving and being deployed in the United States military. U.S. Department of Defense policies related to breastfeeding and deployment are inconsistent among the different branches of the military and sometimes conflict with evidence-based guidelines about optimal breastfeeding practices.

The article explores policy, health and professional practice implications.
