Achieving Exclusive Breastfeeding is based on the United States
Breastfeeding Coalition's (USBC) article by Dr. Miriam Labbok and
Emily Taylor published in 2009. This volume is produced with
permission from USBC, and is the product of the ongoing work of the
two original authors, with important additions and insight from
CGBI team member Kathy Parry. The authors have updated and revised
the original monograph to address the ever changing breastfeeding
environment, adding new resources, updating the breastfeeding
research and advocacy discussions, and now offering summaries of
selected ongoing programs supportive of exclusive breastfeeding.
This revision highlights promising activities and programs in the
U.S. that are helping eliminate barriers to achieving exclusive
breastfeeding. This book covers: -The need to advance exclusive
breastfeeding -Obstacles and opportunities for exclusive
breastfeeding during the reproductive health continuum -Findings
related to the obstacles, opportunities, current interventions, and
gaps at eight time periods during the reproductive health cycle
-Suggestions for innovative implementation to advance exclusive
breastfeeding -The Surgeon General's Call to Action to Support
Breastfeeding -Monitoring, evaluation, and research needs
-Considerations for expansion, replication, and scaling up of
activities -Next steps If you are involved in protecting, promoting
or supporting breastfeeding, this volume will help you explore what
others are doing. It examines the timing of interventions,
addressing the life-cycle perspective, and offers insight from
health, socio-political and media and marketing perspectives. This
book will also give you facts and figures that may help garner
support for your planned and ongoing activities, and provide you
with ideas for the next steps you need to take to improve the
impact of your efforts. Additionally, the annotated bibliography
made available by the authors provides a user-friendly guide to the
latest research related to exclusive breastfeeding in the U.S. and
related settings. This bibliography is accessible via a link in the
resource section. Kathy Parry, a new member of the CGBI team, has
updated the annotated bibliography from the article for the book.
