The American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization and the New York City Department of Health all recommend mothers breastfeed their babies for at least six months, but some mothers have trouble with the physical and logistical challenges.  Director Dana Ben-Ari and executive producer Ricki Lake discuss their new film “Breastmilk,” which advocates for breastfeeding while documenting the problems some new moms have when they choose to breastfeed their babies.
