North Carolina is the focus of many new efforts to promote breastfeeding. As a southern state, we are part of a region that struggles with common issues: Obesity, diabetes, prematurity and infant deaths, and low levels of breastfeeding. Recent efforts in North Carolina are beginning to turn the tide and leading to increases in breastfeeding. This session will provide both program and research findings related to these efforts.
Session Objectives: Define breastfeeding supportive activities underway in North Carolina Discuss the potential role of supporting the Ten Steps Explain how these findings might be replicated in other states
