Breast Feeding Promotion Project

In July 2002, we developed the Breast Feeding Promotion Project. In April 2003, we were awarded a $470,000 three-year grant from The California Endowment to improve institutional practices towards breastfeeding promotion and support in the hospital and workplace settings, provide breastfeeding education to healthcare professionals, and conduct and collect community-based breastfeeding research and data. Now concluded, the project was successful in meeting all its objectives.
