Supporting Healthy Breastfeeding - Kenya

For many women today, work is essential for the economic survival of their families while they also fulfill their role of providing optimum nutrition to their babies through breastfeeding. We envision fostering a culture of appropriate breastfeeding through the provision of professional lactation support to breastfeeding mothers and corporate lactation programs. This includes breastfeeding educati

on to expectant mothers, supporting the immediate initiation of breastfeeding after delivery and offering continued lactation consultancy. We also provides consultancy to companies/employers regarding initiation and sustenance of successful lactation programs at the workplace. We also plan to provide lactation consultancy training to health professionals to increase the capacity of health care workers to support breastfeeding women.
