In honor of #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, we're giving you an exclusive preview of evaluation findings for NACCHO's Continuity of Care in Breastfeeding Support Blueprint program. In 2023, we conducted a mixed methods #Evaluation with seven local-level organizations that were funded to strengthen community lactation support using the Blueprint. Key findings included: ✅ The Blueprint helps to build a culture of breastfeeding by offering strategies that address each level of the socio-ecological model. ✅ The Blueprint can be feasibly implemented by offering a comprehensive set of strategies with the flexibility to prioritize the strategies that build on work already being done. ✅ Participating in the program helped to create a foundation of work that led to additional funding. ✅ Funded organizations were able to unify partners and improve access for lactation support within their communities.

Black women in nine US states have breastfeeding initiation rates on par with or better than their white counterparts. In fact, Black women in Vermont have the highest breastfeeding initiation rate in the country! Congrats to Vermont for supporting all parents who wish to breastfeed! Black breastfeeding initiation is higher in Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. In Oregon, Black and white initiation rates are exactly equal. In Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington, Black and white breastfeeding initiation rates are nearly equal, with white rates being only fractionally higher. This data comes from the CDC (Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Breastfeeding Initiation ─ United States, 2019). To read more about racial differences/disparities in breastfeeding rates, read Protecting Your Potential for Breastfeeding by Kelly M. Durbin, IBCLC. #breastfeeding #lactation #breastfeedingsupport #lactationsupport #blackmaternalhealthweek #ibclc #protectbreastfeeding

This year, The World Health Organization (WHO) aims to actively acknowledge and support breastfeeding mothers, ensuring their visibility and voices are heard. Sharing relatable human stories about breastfeeding and highlighting the significance of comprehensive support are key objectives. Key components of this support include: Policies and mindsets that appreciate women and breastfeeding A healthcare system that is supportive of women and breastfeeding Upholding women's autonomy and their right to breastfeed at any time and place Encouraging solidarity and community backing By taking collective actions, we can empower women to breastfeed for as long as they desire. This empowerment is not just about the act of breastfeeding itself but also about fostering a nurturing environment that respects and honours the choices of mothers. Businesses, public spaces, and educational institutions can play a pivotal role by providing designated breastfeeding areas, offering flexible schedules, and promoting a culture of acceptance. Moreover, education is crucial. Informing both mothers and society about the benefits of breastfeeding, for both the baby and the mother, can help dispel myths and build a more supportive community. Workshops, informational campaigns, and peer support groups can serve as valuable resources for new and expecting mothers. Ultimately, by fostering an inclusive, supportive, and well-informed society, we can create a world where breastfeeding is normalized and celebrated, empowering mothers to make the best choices for themselves and their children. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #TogetherForMoms #WBW2024 #WABA #ClosingTheGap #BreastfeedingSupportForAll#worldbreastfeedingweek2024 #WarmChain #breastfeeding #SDGs #buildingbackbetter
