The Breastfeeding-Friendly Pediatric Office Practice
The landscape of breastfeeding has changed over the past several decades as more women initiate breastfeeding in the postpartum period and more hospitals are designated as Baby-Friendly Hospitals by following the evidence-based Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding. The number of births in such facilities has increased more than sixfold over the past decade. With more women breastfeeding and stays in the maternity facilities lasting only a few days, the vast majority of continued breastfeeding support occurs in the community. Pediatric care providers evaluate breastfeeding infants and their mothers in the office setting fr...

Reduced breastfeeding rates among obese mothers: a review of contributing factors, clinical considerations and future directions
This article presents a review of research literature from three databases covering the years 1995 to 2014 using the search terms of breastfeeding and maternal obesity. We reviewed the existing research on contributing factors to lower breastfeeding rates among obese women, and our findings can guide the development of promising avenues to increase breastfeeding among a vulnerable population. The key findings concerned factors impacting initiation and early breastfeeding, factors impacting later breastfeeding and exclusivity, interventions to increase breastfeeding in obese women, and clinical considerations. The factors i...

Practices and Policies That Support Breastfeeding Among Military Women: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: Certain perinatal practices designed to encourage early skin-to-skin contact appear to improve breastfeeding initiation and duration among women serving in the U.S. military. However, there is an overall lack of quality evidence supporting effective practices and policies associated with increased breastfeeding initiation and duration in this population. Given the recent movement toward policy changes that support pregnant and postpartum service members across services, more research is needed to determine the impact of these and other practices and policies on breastfeeding rates, specifically among enlisted s...

Rooming-in for new mother and infant versus separate care for increasing the duration of breastfeeding.
CONCLUSIONS: We found little evidence to support or refute the practice of rooming-in versus mother-infant separation. Further well-designed RCTs to investigate full mother-infant rooming-in versus partial rooming-in or separate care including all important outcomes are needed.

Breastfeeding and non-communicable diseases later in life.
Abstract Evidence is increasing that breastfeeding beyond its well-established beneficial effects during the breastfeeding period, also confers long-term benefits, particularly in the prevention of risk factors for non-communicable diseases. Therefore, we sought to identify the latest evidence about the benefits of breastfeeding later in life. We searched on PubMed for published studies assessing the effects of breastfeeding on risk factors for non-communicable diseases later in life (cardiovascular risk factors, obesity/overweight, type-2 diabetes and inflammation). Out of 75 references identified, 31 were includ...
