| In this session presenters will illustrate how groups that are disadvantaged with respect to initiating breastfeeding and continuing it for six months or more may be assisted by a variety strategies. Mothers known to be disadvantaged include those from racial/ethnic and socio-economic groups with breastfeeding initiation and continuation rates below the current national percentages for all groups, mothers who return to employment in the early postpartum months, and mothers of premature infants. Strategies highlighted in these posters include peer counseling, telephone support, system changes, social marketing, and assessing professional perspectives and knowledge for the purpose of informing future programmatic changes. | |||
| Learning Objectives: 1. List three or more sub-groups of women who may choose to breastfeed, but be more vulnerable than average to early weaning. 2. Determine three or more strategies that may be used to encourage and support women who are disadvantaged with respect to initiating breastfeeding and continuing it for six months or more. | |||
