A key component of the Preparing for a Lifetime initiative to reduce infant mortality and improve infant outcomes in Oklahoma focuses on improving breastfeeding outcomes. The evidence is well-established on the short and long-term positive health impact of breastfeeding and lactation on both infant and mother. A new collaborative effort was launched in 2012 to support Oklahoma hospitals to achieve designation as a Baby-Friendly hospital, the Becoming Baby-Friendly in Oklahoma project. Baby-Friendly hospitals comply with the evidence-based Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding and do not market formula products directly to patients. This article describes the progress of this statewide project.
俄克拉荷马州“为一生做准备”倡议的一个关键组成部分是关注改善母乳喂养成果，该倡议旨在降低婴儿死亡率并改善婴儿健康状况。母乳喂养和哺乳对婴儿及母亲的短期和长期积极健康影响已有充分证据。2012年发起了一项新的合作努力，以支持俄克拉荷马州的医院获得“爱婴医院”称号，即俄克拉荷马州“成为爱婴医院”项目。爱婴医院遵循基于证据的成功母乳喂养十步骤，且不直接向患者推销配方产品。本文描述了这个全州范围项目的进展情况。
