And, speaking of BEST! Section Five: Objectives 11 & 12 3 8/5/2013 Bailey’s Golden Start Breastfeeding Curriculum for Nursing Students Medical contraindications to breastfeeding are rare. Infant growth should be monitored with the World Health Organization (WHO) Growth Curve Standards to avoid mislabeling infants as underweight or failing to thrive. Hospital routines to encourage and support the initiation and sustaining of exclusive breastfeeding should be based on the American Academy of Pediatrics-endorsed WHO/UNICEF "Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding." Pediatrics, March 2012. Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk. Breastfeeding and human milk are the normative standards for infant feeding and nutrition. Given the documented short- and long-term medical and neurodevelopmental advantages of breastfeeding, infant nutrition should be considered a public health issue and not only a lifestyle choice. National strategies supported by the US Surgeon General's Call to Action, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and The Joint Commission are involved to facilitate breastfeeding practices in US hospitals and communities. Pediatricians play a critical role in their practices and communities as advocates of breastfeeding and thus should be knowledgeable about the health risks of not breastfeeding, the economic benefits to society of breastfeeding, and the techniques for managing and supporting the breastfeeding dyad. The "Business Case for Breastfeeding" details how mothers can maintain lactation in the workplace and the benefits to employers who facilitate this practice. The American Academy of Pediatrics reaffirms its recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for about 6 months, followed by continued breastfeeding as complementary foods are introduced, with continuation of breastfeeding for 1 year or longer as mutually desired by mother and infant. Section Five: Objectives 11 & 12 4 8/5/2013 Bailey’s Golden Start Breastfeeding Curriculum for Nursing Students Fill-in-the-Blank Answers: advertising samples healthcare Advertising, Media, and Free Formula (Macrosystem) In the 1970s, increased global attention was directed at breastfeeding when questionable advertising strategies of formula companies in disadvantaged countries led to an international boycott of Nestle products (Phillip et al., 2001). In response, the WHO/UNICEF organized a global assembly on infant and young child nutrition, with scientific experts, governmental and nongovernmental organizations, and infant food industry representatives in attendance (Baumslag, 1995; Palmer, 1993). From this gathering, The International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes, also known as “The Code” (Table 6), was developed to control inappropriate marketing practices of infant formula and other products used as breast milk substitutes. Almost 10 years later, on May 21, 1981, the World Health Assembly voted to adopt The Code with a 118 to 1 vote. The lone “no” vote was cast by the U.S., whose representatives claimed The Code would violate free speech and infringe on free trade practices. Two officials of the Agency for International Development resigned in response to the United States’ vote (Phillip et al., 2001). Meanwhile, the U.S. House of Representatives condemned the Administration’s position by a vote of 301-100, and the Senate expressed its concern with a vote of 89-2 (Phillip et al., 2001). In 1994, the “no” vote cast by the U.S. was reversed by President Clinton when he signed a follow-up amendment that included an endorsement of the original code. This reversal was called symbolic at best, however, (Phillip et al., 2001) because, as of 1997, only 16 countries had achieved “full compliance” with The Code by adopting laws aimed at enforcing all or nearly all of its provisions; some countries had taken “some action” (i.e., Israel, Norway, and Spain had officially prohibited formula donations to hospitals.); and nine countries had taken “no action” (e.g., the U.S., Croatia, Chad, Central African Republic, Estonia, Romania, Kazakstan, Republic of Moldova, and Somalia) (The Progress of Nations, 1997). Section Five: Objectives 11 & 12 Pre-Class/In-Class Activity: Have students look through parenting magazines and count how many formula advertisements they can find. Ask them to bring them to class to share. Compare/contrast different advertisements from a variety of companies. • What do these advertisements promise? • What are your first thoughts when you see the ads? • Look at the fine print: do you see anything anywhere that says “breastfeeding is best”? Teacher: If possible tape or pull up from You-Tube Formula Advertisements to play in class. What do these advertisements promise? What are your first thought when you see the ads? What words did the company emphasize? “DHA” “comfort proteins” “easily digestible” 5 Bailey’s Golden Start Breastfeeding Curriculum for Nursing Students 8/5/2013 Lecture: The World Health Organization (WHO) International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes, was adopted in 1981 by the World Health Assembly. It is a comprehensive set of guidelines for those who work and interact with mothers and infants. It suggests standards for the appropriate marketing and distribution of commercial competitors to breast-feeding (i.e., makers of infant formula). It is generally referred to as “The Code.” Why is this important? Research has found: The Cochrane review documented the impact of distributing samples of infant formula and promotional materials to breastfeeding mothers in the form of hospital discharge packs suggests a negative effect of this direct marketing on the duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding.14 This review included nine randomized controlled trials involving a total of 3,730 women in North America. These studies evaluated the impact of both distributing free samples of infant formula and giving out promotional materials on infant formula to new mothers who were already breastfeeding. The main outcome measures were (1) breastfeeding at 6 and 13 weeks postpartum, (2) the prevalence of exclusive versus partial breastfeeding between 0 and 13 weeks postpartum and at 6 months, and (3) the timing of the introduction of solid food. The main finding was that when compared with not giving a discharge pack or providing a noncommercial discharge pack, distributing samples of infant formula reduced exclusive breastfeeding at all time points measured. No detrimental effects were found when discharge packs of commercial infant formula were not distributed. In addition to the negative impact of distributing samples of infant formula during the mother’s hospital stay, Howard et al. 58 demonstrated in a randomized controlled trial of 547 women that educational materials on breastfeeding produced by manufacturers of infant formula and distributed to pregnant women intending to breastfeed had a substantially negative effect on the exclusivity and duration of breastfeeding. This impact was much greater on women with uncertain or short breastfeeding goals. The effect of the marketing practices of commercial competitors on breastfeeding is of particular concern because of its disproportionately negative impact on mothers in the United States who are known to otherwise be at high risk for early termination Section Five: Objectives 11 & 12 5 Bailey’s Golden Start Breastfeeding Curriculum for Nursing Students 8/5/2013 of breastfeeding, including those who are primiparous (first-time mothers), have less formal education, are nonwhite, or are ill postpartum.14 Section Five: Objectives 11 & 12 5 Bailey’s Golden Start Breastfeeding Curriculum for Nursing Students 8/5/2013 Fill-in-the-Blank Answers: representatives gifts idealizing A quick review: The International Code recommends No advertising of breast-milk substitutes directly to the public. No free samples to mothers. No promotion of products in health care facilities. No commercial product representatives to advise mothers. No gifts or personal samples to health workers. No words or pictures idealizing artificial feeding, including pictures of infants on the products.

According to Shealy et al. (2005), the term “baby friendly” was chosen, in part, because it could be appropriately converted into multiple languages all over the world. Indeed, the BFHI Ten Steps have been accepted globally as the “gold standard” for breastfeeding practices (Lazarov, 1993; Saadeh, 1996). Data, showing that adherence to The Ten Steps predicts breastfeeding duration and exclusivity long after hospital discharge, continues to accumulate (DiGirolamo, GrummerStrawn, & Fein, 2001; Kramer, et al., 2008; Merewood, Mehta, Chamberlain, Philipp, & Bauchner, 2005; Murray, Ricketts & Dellaport, 2007; Rosenberg, Stull, Adler, Kasehagen, & Crivelli-Kovach, 2008; WHO, 1998). Although UNICEF approached governmental officials about the possibility of implementing the BFHI in the U.S. early after its inception, the U.S. determined that execution of the BFHI would be best undertaken by a non-governmental agency. According to Gartner (1995), The Healthy Mother-Healthy Baby Coalition was awarded the BF contract, and beginning in 1993, an expert work group was established to study the feasibility of the initiative in the U.S. The BF Expert Work Group’s final recommendations, released in 1994, were to revise The Ten Steps, change the name, have hospitals assess themselves without external assessment of compliance, and not prohibit the availability and promotion of infant formulas in hospitals and birthing centers. As a result, seven organizations as well as the AAP refused to endorse the work group’s final report, and at least one physician questioned the influence formula manufacturers may have had on the work group’s final recommendations (Young, 1993, 1995). According to Phillipp et al. (2001), it was then that Wellstart International and Dr. Audrey Naylor, who were involved in the initial development of the international BFHI concept, were approached and asked to cultivate a U.S. on-site evaluation tool and external assessment criteria. With this completed in 1997, the accountability for Baby-Friendly U.S.A was assumed by a group overseen by Dr. Karin Cadwell using the original UNICEF guidelines, except for a minor revision of Step four to recommend the commencement of breastfeeding within one hour of life, instead of the international guideline of within one-half hour of birth. Section Five: Objectives 11 & 12 10 Bailey’s Golden Start Breastfeeding Curriculum for Nursing Students 8/5/2013 • The first step is called the Discovery Phase where facilities register with BFUSA to learn more about the process. • The second step is the Development Phase where facilities make a commitment to the process by providing a registry of intent. • The third step is the Dissemination Phase where facilities implement the plans they have developed during the prior phase. • The finally step, is the Designation Phase where facilities review their implementation of the steps and implement a quality assurance program. When they are ready, they undergo an on-site assessment conducted by the BF team and a review by an external review board. Section Five: Objectives 11 & 12 11 Bailey’s Golden Start Breastfeeding Curriculum for Nursing Students 8/5/2013 After two years of BFHI implementation in China, UNICEF reports that exclusive breastfeeding rates have doubled in rural areas and increased from 10% to 47% in city regions. In Nicaragua, breastfeeding rates have increased from 47% prior to implementation of BFHI to nearly 100% in 1999. In Poland, between 1995 and 1998, BFHI implementation resulted in increased rooming-in rates from 19% to 60%, and supplementation of infants with formula diminished from 54% in 1988 to 22% in 1998. In Zambia, BFHI implementation was recognized for increasing the exclusive breastfeeding rate of 16% in 1992 to 35% in 1997 (UNICEF, ProgrammeDivision, 1999). In the Republic of Belarus, a randomized trial examined the outcome of implementing The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding in 31 Belarussian maternity units and clinics. Results indicated that infants born at the BF sites were more likely than control infants to be breastfed to any degree at 12 months, were more likely to be exclusively breastfed 3 months and 6 months, and had a significant reduction in the risk of one or more gastrointestinal tract infections and atopic eczema (Kramer et al, 2001). Studies of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative Abroad (Macrosystem). According to Hornell (2001), lengthening of breastfeeding duration has been observed for several decades in Sweden, with a marked increase since 1992 when the BFHI was launched. At present, 100% of Swedish hospitals and maternity centers are BF designated. According to Flacking et al. (2007), breastfeeding is regarded as the cultural norm in Sweden, with a high breastfeeding frequency of 98% of infants being breastfed at one week of age and 72% of infants being breastfed at six months of age (The National Board of Health and Welfare, 2003). Section Five: Objectives 11 & 12 In 1993, the BFHI was introduced in Switzerland with similar results observed. Merten, Dratva, Ackermann-Liebrich (2005) reported findings for a national study about the prevalence and duration of breastfeeding in 2003 throughout Switzerland to assess compliance with WHO/UNICEF guidelines of hospitals, comparing breastfeeding results between hospitals that were designated as BF with those that were non-BF health facilities. Findings revealed increased rates and duration of breastfeeding nationwide for the last 10 years, with children born at BF health facilities breastfeeding longer, especially if the hospital complied with WHO/UNICEF guidelines. Abolishing hospital-based promotion of infant formula and paying fair market value for formula would aid hospitals and birthing centers to implement evidence-based care (Phillipp et al., 2001, 2003). Typically, most hospitals in the U.S. receive their well-infant formulas free of charge (or significantly discounted) from name brand manufacturers and, in return, are expected to dispense commercial discharge bags that advertise that brand, thereby implying both active and passive endorsement from the health facility. In BF designated hospitals, the cost of acquiring formula is charged to the patient as a component of a room and board fee, the same way food for other patients is handled. Finally, proponents note that implementing The Ten Steps as part of BFHI designation decreases HMO costs of unused products, such as pacifiers, nipples, and discharge packs, and saves on labor costs and storage space necessary for discharge items (Phillipp et al., 2001, 2003). Brennan et al. (2006) and Rothman et al. (2009) encouraged best practices in their writings, suggesting hospital leaders and other health professionals distance themselves from formula industries to circumvent conflicts of interest that could compromise patient care. 12 Bailey’s Golden Start Breastfeeding Curriculum for Nursing Students 8/5/2013 Studies of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative in the United States (Macrosystem). Baby-Friendly Hospitals (BPHs) in the U.S. have elevated rates of breastfeeding initiation and exclusivity regardless of demographic factors (Merewood et al., 2005). Merewood (2005) analyzed breastfeeding data from U.S. BFHs in 2001 (n = 32) to establish whether breastfeeding rates at BFHs differed from standard U.S. rates. Findings revealed that the mean breastfeeding initiation rate in 2001 was 83.3% among BFHs compared with 69.5% elsewhere. In addition, the mean rate of exclusive breastfeeding during the hospitalization (16 of 29 hospitals) was 78.4%, compared with a national mean of 46.3%. Breastfeeding rates were not associated with the number of births per birth center or with the number of lowincome or Black clients. In this study, geographical location was considered a possible confounder for elevated breastfeeding rates (Ross Mothers Survey, Cleveland, OH, 2002; Ryan, 2002). In the U.S., more babies are being born in facilities that have made special efforts to support breastfeeding than ever before. However, less than 5% of U.S. infants are born in Baby-Friendly hospitals, a global designation that indicates best practices in maternity care to support breastfeeding mothers. The hospital period is critical for mothers and babies to learn to breastfeed, and hospitals need to do more to support them. Hospitals can participate in the Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care (mPINC) survey, and use their results to improve maternity care practices. Hospitals can also work together to share information and experiences on how to achieve the Baby-Friendly designation. The Merewood (2005) study reported Steps two, six, and seven as the most difficult Steps of The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding for U.S. BF institutions. The most common reason mentioned for not meeting Step six, in particular, was the requirement that BF-designated hospitals pay fair market value for all infant formula. Conversely, initiating breastfeeding within the first hour of life, promoting exclusive in-hospital breastfeeding, and having a printed breastfeeding policy are the Steps generally found to have the greatest determination on success (DiGirolamo, Grummer-Strawn, & Fein, 2001, 2008; Grizzard, Bartick, Nikolov, Griffen, & Lee, 2006). Vietas and Henly (1995) conducted research in which all North Dakota obstetric services were questioned using the Newborn Feeding Survey (NFS) to determine breastfeeding-related practices compared with the BFHI Ten Steps. They observed poor adherence to nearly all components of The Ten Steps, with only 15% of participants reporting adherence to at least 5 of the 10 criteria. Degree of implementation was highest (39%) for Step 4, breastfeeding no greater than 60 minutes after delivery, and lowest for Steps 1, policy (2.4%); 9, non-pacifier usage (4.9%); and 10, community referral to support groups (0%). Dodgson (1999) evaluated 79 (83%) Minnesota-based hospitals and reported an average breastfeeding rate of 59%. In 1994, it was determined that four of The Ten Steps were implemented in Minnesota with a low adherence rate (0-49%), that five were implemented with a moderate rate (50-89%), and that none were implemented with a high rate (90-100%). Specifically, Steps 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8 were implemented in over one-half of the surveyed hospitals, but Steps 6, 7, 9, and 10 had less than 50% adherence statewide. Section Five: Objectives 11 & 12 13 Bailey’s Golden Start Breastfeeding Curriculum for Nursing Students 8/5/2013 DiGirolamo, Grummer-Strawn, and Fein’s (2001) longitudinal research of 1085 women revealed that, of women who experienced varying degrees of The Ten Steps, mothers who experienced none of the Steps were almost eight times more likely to terminate lactation before six weeks postpartum. Conversely, the greater number of Steps the mother encountered, the greater the continuation of breastfeeding at and beyond six weeks postpartum. In this study, the strongest factors for premature breastfeeding cessation were late breastfeeding initiation and supplementation of the infant with substances other than breast milk. When all of the recommendations of The Ten Steps are followed, the impact is profound. Philipp, Malone, Cimo, and Merewood (2003) discussed lactation outcomes at Boston Medical Center (BMC), which became the 22 nd BF-designated hospital in the U.S. in 1999, and found significantly increased breastfeeding initiation rates, ranging from 58% in 1995 to 86.5% in 1999. Two hundred medical records of full-term, healthy infants who were born at BMC in 2000 and 2001 were reviewed. All infant feedings during the hospital postpartum stay were totaled, and each infant was then classified into one of four groups: (a) exclusive breastfeeding, (b) mostly breast milk, (c) mostly formula, and (d) exclusive formula. Breastfeeding initiation rates remained at high levels--87% (1999), 82% (2000), and 87% (2001)--with infants who received more breast milk than formula sustaining lactation for longer periods of time: 73% (1999), 67% (2000), and 67% (2001). The authors concluded that at hospitals where all of The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding were followed as a stipulation of BF designation, the greater the extended positive impact on breastfeeding rates in a U.S. setting (Philipp et al., 2003). Before students look ahead to the next slide, have them guess which states will be at the top of the list! Take a vote and remember to include Alaska and Nebraska. Ask students why this may be so.

Since the release of the first Report Card in 2007, there have been steady improvements in several indicators, especially in 3 month and 6 month exclusive breastfeeding rates, which increased more than 5 and 4 percentage points, respectively. Changes in state and national rates are not attributable to any one factor. A woman's ability to reach her breastfeeding goals is affected by a host of factors including support from her family, community, employer and health system. Pre-class work: Have students go to: http://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/data/reportcard.htm and spend at least 30 minutes going through the site. Require that each student prepare a 1 minute paper at the beginning of class as to what they learned from their pre-class reading assignment. In-Class Teamwork (if you have laptops available to each student or group of students): Each team should be given a state to review (Teachers can provide the options or may allow teams to choose a state. Be sure to include California!) If the teacher can access a computer: Before class, pull up information on your classroom computer, minimize multiple sites, and later project them the screen for the class. Section Five: Objectives 11 & 12 Mothers need support from the people and organizations they interact with to meet their breastfeeding goals. States can use the Report Card and previous year's Report Cards to track progress, identify the areas where mothers need more support, and work within their communities to better protect, promote and support breastfeeding mothers. What can mothers and their families do to encourage this: Talk to doctors and nurses about breastfeeding plans, and ask how to get help with breastfeeding. Ask about breastfeeding support practices when choosing a hospital. Join with other community members to encourage local hospitals to become Baby-Friendly.
