  • Title: Breastfeeding practices in Colorado businesses.
    Author: Dunn BF, Zavela KJ, Cline AD, Cost PA.
    Journal: J Hum Lact; 2004 May; 20(2):170-7. PubMed ID: 15117516.
    Abstract:
    The Colorado Worksite Infant Feeding Survey was used to examine breastfeeding support policies and practices within Colorado businesses. Only 28.2% of survey respondents reported that their organization provided breastfeeding support services. However, the majority of businesses did offer benefits and services conducive to breastfeeding. There was a low frequency of positive responses related to incentives for increasing the provision of breastfeeding support services. The incentives receiving the highest frequency of positive responses were those related to employer benefits and needs, such as provision of information on successful breastfeeding support programs within similar organizations; provision of information on the benefits of breastfeeding to employers, including cost savings; and availability of tax credits for providing breastfeeding support services. Multiple approaches are indicated for increasing work-site breastfeeding support and for removing barriers to the achievement of Healthy People 2010 breastfeeding objectives for employed mothers.
