Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Breastfeeding Course

To create "breastfeeding friendly" sites

provide a comfortable space for breastfeeding participants and their families
consider privacy for women who want it
ensure educational and promotional materials displayed or distributed follow the WHO/UNICEF International Code on the Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes (e.g do not display or distribute any resources produced by formula manufacturers)
display posters and written materials with positive breastfeeding images and messages (e.g. avoid using feeding bottle symbols to represent infant feeding)
ensure staff are familiar with the "Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding" and "The Seven Point Plan for the Protection, Promotion and Support of Breastfeeding in Community Health Services."
ensure formula industry samples and gifts-including free formula-are not distributed by staff to pregnant women and new mothers
encourage staff to express positive and enthusiastic attitudes towards breastfeeding
support those, including staff, who wish to breastfeed in the workplace
Encourage your agency to provide breastfeeding education to all staff/volunteers
