Community-Based Breastfeeding Support With the Tiger Babies Breastfeeding Support Tent

Ann W Lambert et al. Nurs Womens Health. 2018 Apr.

Abstract

The Tiger Babies Breastfeeding Support Tent was established by a baccalaureate nursing program in southeastern Alabama to increase community awareness of the importance of breastfeeding and to provide a clean, convenient, and private location for nursing mothers during community events. Local advertising was distributed before community events to promote awareness and support of the project. Survey results indicate that 80% of mothers who used the tent's services would recommend the tent to their friends and family members.

Keywords: breastfeeding; breastfeeding support; community; education; lactation.
