Promoting Breastfeeding at the Worksite and in the Neighborhood

摘要

The project aimed to add twenty percentage points to the percentage of low-income working women breastfeeding upon discharge from the hospital and to add fifteen percentage points to the percentage of low-income working women breastfeeding at six months post-partum. At project sites in Baltimore, MD, West Philadelphia, PA, and Wilmington, DE, four interventions were made available: professional and patient education, breastfeeding support, working parents workshops, and educational seminars for child care providers.
