Women from the community who have successfully breastfed are trained to provide education and support to others who are interested in breastfeeding. The program provides a comprehensive model of home, community and hospital-based breastfeeding promotion and support.
The Breastfeeding: Heritage and Pride Program encourages and supports breastfeeding promotion, education and management with both peer counselors and an international board-certified lactation consultant.
