The first phase of the PROALMA project in Honduras resulted in changed hospital breastfeeding practices within as little as 2 years. These changes affected the community, lengthening the duration of exclusive breastfeeding to 1-2 months and the duration of any breastfeeding to 12 months. The second phase of the project sought to extend the program nationwide. One of the original pilot hospitals in San Pedro Sula was well along in breastfeeding promotion but felt there were still problems in breastfeeding education and the integration with family planning services. Following retraining of staff and the opening of a Breastfeeding Clinic and a Temporary Methods Family Planning Clinic, there have been improvements in both areas.
洪都拉斯“促进母乳喂养和母婴健康”（PROALMA）项目的第一阶段在短短两年内就改变了医院的母乳喂养做法。这些变化影响到了社区，将纯母乳喂养的时长延长至1 - 2个月，任何形式母乳喂养的时长延长至12个月。该项目的第二阶段旨在将该计划推广至全国。圣佩德罗苏拉最初的试点医院之一在促进母乳喂养方面进展顺利，但认为在母乳喂养教育以及与计划生育服务的整合方面仍存在问题。在对工作人员进行再培训并开设了一家母乳喂养诊所和一家临时避孕计划生育诊所后，这两个领域都有了改善。
