28 Hospital Teams across North Carolina have gathered baseline information and are entering the data into a secure web based data center. Each unit will send 3-6 participants to the first learning session the third week of January. During the workshop, teams will plan the activities expected to increase the numbers of infants exclusively breastfed in the maternity stay. The potential impact for North Carolina babies and families can be gleaned from AHRQ Publication No. 07-E007 where the authors of this review screened over 9,000 abstracts about breastfeeding and infant and maternal health outcomes. They summarize the findings of the studies so that readers have one place to go to learn about the many risks of NOT breastfeeding, including: [for breastfed children] acute otitis media, non-specific gastroenteritis, severe lower respiratory tract infections, atopic dermatitis, asthma (young children), obesity, type 1 and 2 diabetes, childhood leukemia, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), necrotizing enterocolitis, and [for mothers who breastfed] type 2 diabetes, breast, and ovarian cancer, and postpartum depression.
