Minnesota works to close the gap in breastfeeding rates between black and white moms: "Walker, 22, said her doctor assumed she wouldn’t even want to try nursing her baby. Over time, she said, she was discouraged by friends who said formula was healthier or that breast-feeding coddled babies too much. The baby’s father even suggested that she was disrupting his relationship with his daughter. But Walker persisted. Her daughter, Genevieve, now 2, breast-fed for 14 months. Her story has become something of a folk tale advocates use to show that disparities can be overcome." startribune/lifestyle/health/218308421.html
