Product Description:
Studies have revealed an association between hospitalization of breastfed infants and weaning posthospitalization. It is unknown what steps inpatient providers at childrens hospitals are currently taking to support breastfeeding mothers of hospitalized infants, their comfort providing breastfeeding counseling, and what training they receive. We conducted a multicenter survey study of providers who care for infants hospitalized at 3 urban childrens hospitals over a 12-month period.
