HHS Blueprint for Action on Breastfeeding Language: English
Publisher: Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Women's Health (2000)
Description: Breastfeeding is one of the most important contributors to infant health. Despite the many benefits of breastfeeding, the rates of breastfeeding in the United States are low, especially at 6 months postpartum. Moreover, racial and ethnic disparities in breastfeeding rates are wide and reveal alarmingly low breastfeeding rates among African American women (19% at 6 months postpartum). The nation must address these low breastfeeding rates as a public health challenge and put in place national, culturally appropriate strategies to promote breastfeeding.
The Blueprint for Action introduces an action plan for breastfeeding based on education, training, awareness, support and research. Recognizing that breastfeeding rates are influenced by various factors, these recommendations suggest an approach in which all interested stakeholders come together to forge partnerships to promote breastfeeding.
