WOW - Results are in.

We have completed both a community survey and SWOT analysis and the results are in.  Some surprising and some exactly what you may have expected.  We are ready to tackle the challenges that breastfeeding families in south MS are facing.  We need volunteers to get these projects moving forward.

WOW
50% of mothers said there maternity care provider did NOT talk to them about breastfeeding during pregnancy.

WOW
More mothers felt supported in breastfeeding by a facebook group than by the nurses at the hospital where they gave birth.

WOW
Most mothers are not aware of all the resources (some no cost) available to help them overcome breastfeeding challenges.

WOW
86% of mothers felt that local businesses were not supportive of breastfeeding.

WE CAN CHANGE THIS!  
We can help more mothers feel supported during breastfeeding and improve the health of south MS mothers and children. ​
