Breastfeeding Peer Support Programs
Breastfeeding Peer Support Programs involve trained mothers or community members who offer guidance, encouragement, and sharing of experiences to new mothers breastfeeding their babies. These supporters provide emotional reassurance, practical advice, and help troubleshoot common challenges, fostering confidence and promoting successful breastfeeding. The goal is to create a supportive environment that empowers mothers, improves breastfeeding duration and exclusivity, and enhances overall maternal and infant health through community-based, relatable assistance.
