Event Description

This webinar will help hospital teams better understand the breastfeeding challenges mothers experience after discharge and identify opportunities to improve education, support, and continuity of care.

This session will provide insight into what parents commonly report once they return home, including barriers to breastfeeding continuation, conflicting messaging, emotional stressors, and gaps between hospital education and home realities.

The webinar will also explore how hospitals, community organizations, and WIC programs can work together to create more consistent, supportive breastfeeding experiences for mothers.
