1. Molly Fox:

   Future studies will be needed to explore the relationship between women’s history of breastfeeding and cognitive performance in larger, more geographically diverse groups of women. It is important to better understand the health implications of breastfeeding for women, given that women today breastfeed less frequently and for shorter time periods than was practiced historically.

2. Robert Kaestner:

   That’s a very problematic way to proceed, given the obvious differences you think of between those who breastfeed and those who don’t, we can’t make policy based on an accounting exercise that is not as well founded as we’d like.

3. Susan Johnson:

   A race that lasts several hours separates mom and baby for several feedings. This means a mother will either need to stop to breastfeed, or slow down to pump or hand express some milk. If not, she will be physically uncomfortable, and her milk supply will take a hit, you can't turn the breast on and off. Milk flows in response to normal breastfeeding routines.

4. Jennifer Pitonyak:

   Continuing to breastfeed an infant is challenging when there is a lack of support – particularly for women with lower levels of education and income who may need to return to work as soon as possible after giving birth in order to financially support their family.

5. Cindy Shelton:

   It’s an unlimited buffet so babies self-regulate when they breastfeed. They’re not going to overfeed or underfeed but sometimes they want a snack.
