Breastfeeding Friendly Childcare

Auszeichnung für stillfreundliche Kinderbetreuung

Die New Hampshire Breastfeeding Task Force hat zum Ziel, das Stillen zu fördern, zu schützen und zu unterstützen. Mit der kürzlichen Umsetzung des Gesetzes über Pausenzeiten für stillende Mütter im Rahmen des Affordable Care Act und der Veröffentlichung des Call to Action to Action to Support stilling Women des Surgeon General im Jahr 2011 entscheiden sich immer mehr Frauen dafür, ihr Baby zu stillen. Wenn Kinderbetreuungsprogramme zu starken Partnern und Befürwortern werden, wenn es darum geht, Mütter zu ermutigen und zu unterstützen, weiterhin zu stillen, sind die Vorteile für Familien enorm. Auch Kinderbetreuungsprogramme selbst profitieren vom verbesserten Gesundheitszustand der betreuten Kinder. Das Wissen, dass Sie stillende Mütter und Babys aktiv unterstützen und ermutigen, könnte dazu führen, dass Familien Ihr Programm anderen vorziehen, und könnte einen entscheidenden Unterschied bei der Entscheidung einer Mutter machen, ihr Baby zu stillen und weiter zu stillen.

Purpose of the NH Breastfeeding Friendly Child Care Award

Child care programs themselves also benefit from the improved health status of the children in their care. Knowing that you actively support and encourage breastfeeding mothers and babies could lead to families choosing your program over others and could make a key difference in a mother's decision to initiate and continue to breastfeed her baby.
