The appropriate standards of breastfeeding care in the hospital setting have been well identified and discussed; however, practice too often does not meet these standards. This session draws together international and innovative approaches to supporting breastfeeding in the hospital setting that build upon the evidence-base. Presenters offer diverse views of the impact that hospital practices can have on maternal and infant breastfeeding behaviors.
Session Objectives: 1. Identify at least 3 hospital-based strategies that impact breastfeeding behavior. 2. Describe 3 common hospital practices that are barriers to facilitating breastfeeding.
