The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative aims to implement the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding and end the distribution of free breastmilk substitutes to health facilities. This supports the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding, which promotes exclusive breastfeeding for six months and continued breastfeeding for two years or more to improve infant nutrition, growth, health and survival. The course teaches staff communication skills and practices to confidently support mothers in early and exclusive breastfeeding so the facility can achieve Baby-Friendly designation.
The document describes a proposed development and education project called DEEPEN aimed at addressing severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in Ethiopia. The project has two main components: 1) Developing local sustainable nutrition production through ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) and 2) Educating communities on nutrition, sanitation, and health. A pilot will be conducted in Bale, Ethiopia through partnerships with organizations to train communities to identify SAM, produce RUTF, and promote education on topics like gardening and hygiene. The project aims to eventually expand throughout the region to help combat malnutrition.
This document discusses marketing to children and its effects. It notes that marketers see children as current and future customers, and that children influence family purchasing decisions. Research shows that children influence most family choices like food, entertainment, and trips. Marketers use many techniques to target children, like TV ads, product placement, websites, and advergames. These techniques can influence children's food choices, self-image, and purchase requests to parents. The document examines issues like pester power, effects on family relationships, obesity risk, and regulations around marketing to children. It also discusses using social marketing to promote healthy behaviors to children as an alternative approach.
The document discusses the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) and exclusive breastfeeding. It begins by defining the BFHI, which was introduced in 1991 by WHO/UNICEF to promote breastfeeding in hospitals. It has led to over 19,000 designated "Baby Friendly" facilities in over 125 countries. The ten steps to successful breastfeeding recommended by the BFHI are then outlined in detail. The steps include establishing breastfeeding policies, training healthcare staff, informing pregnant women of benefits, early initiation of breastfeeding, demonstrating proper technique, exclusive breastfeeding, rooming-in, on demand feeding, avoiding pacifiers/bottles, and establishing post-discharge support groups. The document concludes by emphasizing the
This document summarizes a presentation given by Alive & Thrive about their work improving infant and young child feeding practices in Ethiopia. It describes their multi-pronged approach, which included community education, health system strengthening, and engaging religious leaders. Evaluation results showed small increases in minimum diet diversity. Further analysis found Orthodox Christian children faced higher malnutrition rates and lower diet diversity. Priests were engaged and developed sermon guides to clarify that fasting exempts young children. An increase in minimum diet diversity followed in areas where this approach was implemented.

What do we really know about the interaction between breastmilk and the infant microbiome? Research shows that the newborn gut microbiome — the trillions of bacteria that live within the intestinal tract of newborns — plays a critical role in proper immune and metabolic development as well as meeting the newborn’s nutritional needs. Disruption of the newborn gut microbiome can cause both acute and chronic health consequences. Based on novel discoveries of the unique partnership between mammalian milk and B. infantis, Evolve has pioneered a microbiome-based approach to solving newborn gut dysbiosis.
Introduction to the "Bridge" - a new breastfeeding support tool Leith Greenslade

Launch of Resource Toolkit for Establishing and Integrating Human Milk BanksLeith Greenslade
Ensuring equitable access to human milk for all infants has the potential to save countless lives, especially vulnerable neonates, such as those born low-birthweight or premature. Yet many do not have access to their own mother’s milk in the first critical hours or days of life. PATH has developed “Strengthening Human Milk Banking: A Resource Toolkit for Establishing and Integrating Human Milk Banks” as a compendium of standards to advance access to human milk for all babies. This toolkit is comprised of 11 separate core documents and accompanying materials—including templates, standards, and tools—to guide critical steps for establishing human milk banking as an integrated component within breastfeeding support and neonatal care, with in-depth focus on readiness, quality assurance, operations, auditing, training, monitoring and evaluation, and communications. These tools are intended to be utilized as a cohesive package, with embedded links throughout to orient and guide users to relevant resources. This toolkit, in its entirety, is freely available and globally accessible. The content was developed to be adaptable to local context requirements to maximize effectiveness and reach.

A New Tool for Collecting Colostrum: Jules ShermanLeith Greenslade
Colostrum is baby's critical first food, filled with highly-concentrated nutrients and antibodies to protect against disease.
For the babies who cannot breastfeed, new tools are needed to collect the colostrum from mother's breast and store it so it can be fed to baby. Jules Sherman has created a new two-part system for colostrum collection called the Primo-Lacto®, composed of a breast pump adapter and hand expression funnel. Learn more about how it works and the plans to make it available for wide use.

Making NICUs Breastfeeding-Friendly: Meena JoshiLeith Greenslade
India is home to the world's largest number of preterm births and deaths. Ensuring all sick and vulnerable babies have access to breastmilk in the days and weeks after they are born is critical to keeping these babies alive. But as leading research group AIIMS discovered in its own hospital, a minority of NICU babies were being fed breastmilk. Meena Joshi describes how they turned that situation around.
Growing the Number of Quality Human Milk Banks: Kimberly Amundson Leith Greenslade
Human milk banks should be as common as blood banks because they deliver a lifesaving "medicine" to sick and vulnerable newborns - breastmilk.
