Breastfeeding Ads

My thoughts on this ad were very mixed. The Department of Human Health Services (DHHS) ad attempted to grab mothers' attention towards why they should breastfeed and if they didn't, their babies would face real health risks. The DHHS was trying to show the benefits of breastfeeding. When showing this ad, I feel like they were very bias and harsh towards mothers who chose not to or can't breastfeed. Yes, there may be some benefits to breastfeeding, but in the end, it is up to the mother. I also think that they were just trying to be honest on what could happen if a person doesn't breastfeed. When the DHHS was explaining risks to not breastfeeding, such as "babies who aren't breastfed are 40% more likely to suffer Type 1 diabetes", it is a true fact. I just think that they could've approached the ad a little differently.
