Wednesday, October 29, 2008: 8:30 AM
Oral
Community strategies for supporting breastfeeding are essential if public health goals are to be met. Unlike in-hospital breastfeeding support strategies, community interventions require attention to many contextual factors. Presenters have recognized this dynamic and offer a number of ways to address key community-based approaches.
Session Objectives: 1. Identify three strategies that could be used in your community to support breastfeeding. 2. Describe at least 2 ways that community breastfeeding support strategies differ from in-hospital support strategies.
