Mission of Project
• Bring attention to the gap in ‘any’ and ‘exclusive’ breastfeeding rates in hospitals, particularly hospitals with large populations of low-income mothers
• Produce a statewide grassroots media campaign with the breastfeeding coalitions
• Multi year strategy using many approaches to advocate for improved exclusive breastfeeding rates by urging hospitals to adopt the California Breastfeeding Model Hospital Policies or Baby Friendly designation

The Role of Hospital Policies• Hospitals that have
implemented “Baby Friendly” or model policies have low supplementation rates
• Research supports that “Baby Friendly” status increases exclusive breastfeeding during and after the hospital stay– Policies are intended to
be implemented as a group, not individually

Policies Protect Staff and Patients
• Problem– Insufficient numbers of
skilled support staff (time)
– Mother’s “change their minds” or demand formula
– Individual MDs routinely supplement all infants
– Mothers and infants separated
• Policy Solution– Policy dictates staff
training/ratios
– Charting policies can help identify cause, support staff
– Policy requiring medical need for supplementation
– Rooming-in/couplet care policies

43% of California's babies get breast milk exclusivelyAdvocates, announcing survey results today, say the total should
increase because of benefits to mothers and children.
By Mary Engel, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer, 2007
The new mother was determined to nurse her son, despite her discomfort after a Cesarean section. But a nurse, without asking, fed the infant formula while he was in the hospital nursery. That was upsetting enough, but then, when given the chance to nurse her baby, the young woman couldn’t get her newborn to latch onto her breast.
