The promotion of breastfeeding is a well-established public health goal, but it is one that has been difficult to achieve. Despite knowledge of the health benefits of breastfeeding for women, infants, and children, 8 in 10 U.S. mothers initiate breastfeeding but only 3 in 10 breastfeed for one year. The statistics are even more revealing among racial and ethnic groups. This session discusses barriers to breastfeeding, strategies for helping women achieve their breastfeeding goals, and the need for cultural change.
