Title: F5 - Breastfeeding - A Curious History
Disciplines: Newborn (NB), Childbearing (CB)
Learning Objectives:
- Analyze infant feeding practices over the last 100 years in the U.S.
- Compare and contrast the mixed messages about infant feeding that new parents receive from health care providers, health departments, industry, and policy makers.
- Examine nursing’s role in the promotion of breastfeeding.
Controversial and colorful, this historical review of feeding practices helps inform today’s infant feeding predicament. Traveling back in time with a nurse historian and a lactation consultant and employing photos, personal diaries, letters, advertisements, art and artifacts, you will critically review 100 years of infant feeding in America (1910-2010). You will examine the mixed-messages and miscommunication that parents receive from health care providers, health departments, industry and policy makers and wonder will we ever be “baby friendly?”
