Advancing Breastfeeding: Forging Partnerships for a Better Tomorrow

Mothers are more likely to breastfeed if their friends, families, health care providers, colleagues, and communities support them. Advancing Breastfeeding: Forging Partnerships for a Better Tomorrow describes how to create this supportive culture by developing relationships with groups that can help mothers reach their breastfeeding goals. Topics include forming partnerships with: • Health care providers, • Community, state, and national organizations, and • Diverse communities to reduce disparities in breastfeeding and increase equity in outcomes. In addition, communities can foster support for new mothers through social media and traditional forms of communication. Forging Partnerships for a Better Tomorrow is a compilation of articles from the 2014 Breastfeeding and Feminism Conference, and is an insightful guide to help mothers get the support they need.
