BWH is celebrating World Breastfeeding Week August 1-7 with information, education and breastfeeding resources available to employees and patients. This year’s theme, “Code Watch: 25 Years of Protecting Breastfeeding,” recognizes the progress made worldwide over the last several decades to protect and promote breastfeeding.
BWH Lactation Support Services offers pump rentals at a discount for employees, inpatient consultants, daily breastfeeding classes and a variety of educational books and videos on how to effectively breastfeed a baby. Look for informational posters about breastfeeding and lactation support services offered at BWH throughout the Connors Center for Women’s Health. Parents will receive products donated by Medela, a manufacturer of breastpump and breastfeeding accessories. Also, the Kessler Library in August holds a health database searching seminar on breastfeeding information. See the calendar in this issue for more information. Call ext. 2-7092 with questions.
