[ID] 660 [Interest Areas] Community Organizer Concerned Citizen Health Care Provider Lactation Professional [Comment] Implement breastfeeding education in the prenatal clinics and give private physicians a tax credit if they can show good evidence of breastfeeding education in their clinics. Push hospitals to adopt mother/infant bonding skin-to-skin int he first hour of life. Use evidence based guidelines to promote no infant bath until after the first breastfeed and to delay vitamin K injections and prophylactic eye ointment until 1 hour of age. Eliminate all procedures that separate mother and infant for prolonged periods of time. Give tax credit to those hospitals that practice family-centered care. [Topic]
