Description from our presenter: “Implementation of the 10 Steps to Breastfeeding Success and Baby-Friendly certification has been proven to increase inpatient breastfeeding rates and continued human milk feeding post-discharge, but racial disparities persist. Ensuring that along with the standard messaging and processes, all women and birthing people receive the same level of care and access to lactation support is necessary to close these gaps. Partnering with grassroots organizations and collaborating with community leaders can create innovative ways to meet the needs of marginalized groups without altering the foundations of Baby-Friendly practices.”

Objectives:

  • Learn the ten steps of the Baby-Friendly initiative
  • Consider the ways that culture of origin impacts the reception of the ten steps
  • Examine how equitable practices can boost the adoption of the ten steps

Approved for 1 L-CERP, nurse’s contact hour, 1 social work CE hour, 1 dietitian CPEU, 1 Community Health Worker CEU, 1 Certified Health Education Specialist CECH, and 1 CME until February 19, 2024.
