Breastfeeding
Community-Based Demonstration Projects
Eighteen community-based demonstration
projects (CDPs) throughout the United States will work in coordination with the US
Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health and the Advertising
Council to implement the National Breastfeeding Awareness Campaign on a local level. The
CDPs will attempt to build self-efficacy by working to educate women about the benefits of
breastfeeding, empower them to choose to breastfeed, and create awareness that
breastfeeding is normal, desirable, and achievable.
The demonstration projects will:
Ensure that breastfeeding mothers have
access to comprehensive, up-to-date, and culturally tailored lactation services provided
by trained physicians, nurses, lactation consultants, and nutritionists/dietitians;
Develop breastfeeding education for women,
their partners, and other significant family members during the prenatal and postnatal
periods;
Establish family and community programs that
enable breastfeeding continuation when women return to work in all possible settings;
Develop social support and information
resources for breastfeeding women such as hotlines, peer counseling, and mother-to-mother
support groups;
Encourage fathers and other family members
to be actively involved throughout the breastfeeding experience.
