title: [Breast feeding: the natural means of health promotion].
abstract: Breast-feeding has long been accepted as the best way of feeding young children. Promotion of breast-feeding in hospitals has increased the proportion of women beginning to breast feed. The maintenance of lactation however needs other support, which can be provided by self help groups. "La Leche Liga"'s activity centers around this problem. Breastfeeding circles take place in Switzerland too and provide an opportunity for sharing experience and learning to solve everyday problems.
