| The first speaker will present results of research designed to test whether potential barriers to breastfeeding experienced by 2-4 months postpartum were predictive of breastfeeding cessation by 12-months postpartum. Data from a national longitudinal data set were analyzed. The next three speakers, all from Los Angeles County, will present a group of related studies. The first, conducted in 2005, was a survey of 5015 WIC participants. A primary focus was to examine breastfeeding trends among this primarily Hispanic, low-income population. The second presenter from Los Angeles County will describe the results of an evaluation of a unique WIC peer counseling program that was associated with dramatic increases in exclusive breastfeeding rates. The final speaker from Los Angeles County will report on the impact of a program initiated by WIC, the Working Women Pump Program (WWPP), in response to short breastfeeding duration rates for WIC participants returning to work. The final speaker in this session will discuss breastfeeding patterns among 200 WIC participants who self-identified as Native Hawaiian or part Hawaiian. The relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding duration will be highlighted. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant in this session will be able to: 1. Describe barriers to breastfeeding experienced by 2-4 months postpartum associated with breastfeeding cessation during the first 12 months postpartum in a national cohort of low income women. 2. Describe the breastfeeding rates and trends of low-income women participating in the WIC Program in Los Angeles County. 3. Recognize the impact of a WIC peer counseling program implemented in Los Angeles County on exclusive breastfeeding rates. 4. Describe the impact of a WIC breast pump program on breastfeeding exclusivity and duration for mothers who received an electric pump upon return to full-time work in contrast to a waitlist control group of women who received an electric pump later or not at all. 5. Identify factors influencing breastfeeding duration in Native Hawaiian women. | |||
