Breastfeeding It is well demonstrated that breastfeeding provides benefits
for both mothers and infants, including: Infants-
Stimulate GI motility and growth, decrease risk of NEC Increased immune response due to transmission in breastmilk of
maternal antibodies Decrease risk of diseases such as asthma, obesity, and diabetes
Mothers- Stimulate oxytocin release and acceleration of recovery from
childbirth Increased weight loss Increased bonding with infant Prolonged annovulation postpartum Economic savings on formula Reduced risk of breast and ovarian cancer Decreased risk of cardiovascular disease

Vitamin DImportant in calcium
homeostasis
Transferred across the placenta from mother to fetus
Often low in infants if maternal levels low or infant premature
Amount of vitamin D in breastmilk is low, especially if mom is vitamin D deficient

AAP RecommendationsThe AAP recommends exclusively breastfeeding
infants until 6 months and then supplementing with breastmilk up to and beyond the first year of life
The AAP now recommends starting vitamin D supplementation within the first few days of life to any infant breastfeeding or taking less than 27oz of formula per day

AIM StatementWe aim to improve collective breastfeeding
rates in the Washington Heights community, specifically to 30% at the 4 month well child visit in the Broadway Ambulatory Clinic pediatric population.
Within this patient population, we aim to increase vitamin D supplementation per current AAP guidelines to 90% in all nursing infants (including both fully and partially breastfed infants).

Centering GroupPrenatal counseling at Broadway for teenage
expecting mothers
Residents developed a breastfeeding and Vitamin D supplementation presentation. Each month the outpatient resident gives the presentation to the expectant mothers in the group
Breastfeeding Your Baby: Healthy and Natural
Sitting comfortably with the baby at breast height using a pillow for
support (excellent options are My Breast Friend or Boppy pillows), tuck
the baby's tush in the crook of the opposite arm of the breast being fed.
The mother's forearm should be positioned up the length of the baby's back. The baby's head is supported by her thumb and forefinger, right behind the ears. The baby is held tummy-to-tummy with the mother
Cross Cradle Position

Lessons We LearnedWe were unable to improve our 4 month
breastfeeding rates. This reinforced that to positively Influence breastfeeding rates interventions need to reach mothers prior to the first outpatient office visit.
As shown in other studies, effective prenatal counseling and Baby Friendly Hospitals are important factors in educating mothers and families and improving breastfeeding rates.
Educational interventions and reminders in clinic aimed at providers were able to increase vitamin D prescription rates.
