Strategies to support breastfeeding. Discarding myths and outdated advice

S Moxley et al. Can Fam Physician. 1994 Oct.

Abstract

Lack of teaching about breastfeeding in nursing and medical schools has resulted in mothers receiving inconsistent and inaccurate advice from health care professionals. New community programs can help breastfeeding families through parent-baby information telephone lines and breastfeeding support drop-in groups. Physicians and nurses can help breastfeeding mothers by keeping up-to-date and giving consistent information.
