Summary:

Breastfeeding is an evidence based early intervention for reducing risk for obesity and diabetes. The hospital/medical culture of supplementation can and does affect the length of exclusive breastfeeding and ultimately the infant’s future health status. Early problems with breastfeeding cause about half of mothers to abandon breastfeeding in the first postpartum weeks. This session will provide information on multiple, simple ways that obstetricians, midwives, nursing and other staff can support the normal process of breast feeding. The IHS promotes and tracks breastfeeding via efforts such as the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative, the Diabetes Treatment and Prevention Program Best Practices, and GPRA.


Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1.   Describe the importance of exclusive breastfeeding for both mother and baby.
2.   Alter practice routines that interfere with the natural process of breastfeeding in order to support a more optimal breastfeeding duration.
3.   Enhance and improve advice and support to new mothers to help prevent early problems.
