About the Program

Getting breastfeeding off to a good start is
key in making sure that mom meets her
personal breastfeeding goals and that the
Healthy People 2020 Goals for breastfeeding
are achieved.
The objective of this program is to promote
collaboration between hospitals, the WIC
Program and community partners in
providing evidence based lactation support
services to increase breastfeeding initiation
and duration rates.
This highly acclaimed program demonstrates
that new mothers can be discharged from the
hospital confident in their breastfeeding
skills, and establishes that community
partners are prepared to keep support and
education going thereafter.
