Summary
The value of breastfeeding human infants is clear, as it meets the need for nutrition, protection against infection, child spacing, and mother-baby attachment. Programs designed to promote breastfeeding exist throughout the world. This book examines these programs, including small-scale groups that are initiated by concerned health professionals, as well as the role of breastfeeding organizations and mothers' support groups. Experts from different parts of the world give accounts of programs in their own countries, and bring new perspectives to such topics as the influence of the health services, training people to help mothers to breastfeed, practical management, surveillance of the marketing of infant formulas, and legislation and services for mothers at work. An assessment of policy needs and strategies for the development of future programs rounds out this broad and thorough work.
