Monday, October 31, 2011: 8:30 AM
Oral
This session will explore programs addressing care from maternity care to community workplace lactation support, and support the 2011 Surgeon General's Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding. The Call to Action describes action steps to improve our nation’s breastfeeding rates, including improvements within the health care system and workplace.
Session Objectives: Identify barriers to improving breastfeeding support practices in a maternity care setting. Describe the extent to which in-hospital formula supplementation is associated with shorter breastfeeding duration. Discuss key activities in the process of establishing programs which offer lactation support in the workplace including the impact on breastfeeding duration.
