Hospital practices and staff interactions need to be reviewed carefully in each institution and community to examine the direct or indirect effects on human lactation and breastfeeding. With the increased incidence of breastfeeding and the continued promotion by the Surgeon General and the American Academy of Pediatrics, it is imperative that health care professionals examine the attitudes that affect their behavior as they interact with their patients about lactation. The high-tech routines must be altered to facilitate the normal aspects of the breastfeeding process. A mother must be close to learn how to interact with and touch her new infant. The greatest challenge is not in changing the written policies nor the curtains or surroundings but in changing the attitudes and beliefs of the staff, so that human lactation and breastfeeding are treated as normal physiologic, psychological, and nurturing activities of mothers and infants.
每个机构和社区都需要仔细审视医院的做法及医护人员的互动，以考察其对人类泌乳和母乳喂养的直接或间接影响。随着母乳喂养发生率的上升以及卫生局局长和美国儿科学会的持续推广，医护人员在与患者就泌乳问题进行互动时，审视那些影响自身行为的态度变得至关重要。必须改变高科技的常规流程，以促进母乳喂养过程的正常环节。母亲必须近距离接触才能学会如何与新生婴儿互动和抚摸婴儿。最大的挑战不在于改变书面政策、窗帘或环境，而在于改变工作人员的态度和观念，从而将人类泌乳和母乳喂养视为母婴正常的生理、心理及养育活动。
