Did you know? Breastfeeding reduces the risk of infant mortality. A recent CDC study of over 3 million U.S. births found that breastfeeding is associated with a 26% reduction in the odds of post-perinatal infant death. https://t.co/75idTFx1a5 #InfantMortalityAwarenessMonth

Did you know that every day, #moms around the world produce 35.6 billion liters of #breastmilk?

Sadly, due to various #barriers, we lose 38% of this milk - a whopping $2.2 trillion annually! The Mothers' Milk Tool (MMT) aims to reverse this trend: https://t.co/njx8qi8lXO
