Chronic Disease & Health Disparities Health disparities are associated with: Poverty Education Race/Ethnicity Breastfeeding has a role to play in disease prevention and addressing health disparities 2

Breastfeeding evens the playing field Breastfeeding is a natural "safety net" against the worst effects of poverty...It is almost as if breastfeeding takes the infant out of poverty for those first few months in order to give the child a fairer start in life and compensate for the injustice of the world into which it was born. James P. Grant Former Executive Director UNICEF 3

4 Why is breastfeeding important? Exclusive and extensive breastfeeding reduces the risk for many diseases.

5 Breastfeeding: Important for Babies Risk Differences for Various Disease AcuteChronic Source: Ip, AHRQ, 2007

6 Breastfeeding Reduces the Risk of Childhood Obesity Leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin play a role Infants self-regulate at the breast Different maternal behavior Reduced risk for early growth acceleration Other variables Reduces the risk of obesity by 4% for each month of exclusive breastfeeding Ip, AHRQ, 2007 Dewey, JHL, 2003 Miralles, Obesity, 2006

7 Breastfeeding Reduces the Risk of Childhood Obesity Exclusive BF for 3 to 6 months is associated with reduced risk for childhood overweight Not a panacea, but the start of our obesity prevention efforts BF promotion has become an important component in larger efforts to reduce childhood obesity

Public Health Breastfeeding Policy Initiative Increase exclusive and extensive BF rates Baby Friendly Hospital designation LAC DHS committed, bringing along others Evidence based approach Buy-in from the top Convening regional quality improvement Collaborative approach Multidisciplinary team 10

California Any and Exclusive In-Hospital Breastfeeding: Data Source: California Department of Public Health, Genetic Disease Screening Program, Newborn Screening Database Prepared by: California Department of Public Health, Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Program Note: Includes cases with feeding marked ‘BRO’ (Breast Only), ‘FOO’ (Formula Only), or ‘BRF’ (Breast & Formula) The “GAP” is Growing

12 Percent Any/Exclusive In Hospital Breastfeeding: 2007 Gap

13 Maternity Care Policy & Practices The maternity care experience exerts unique influence on both breastfeeding initiation and later infant feeding behavior Breastfeeding is an extremely time-sensitive relationship Experience with breastfeeding in the first hours and days of life significantly influence an infant’s later feeding

14 Evidence-Based Interventions Significant evidence that changes in maternity care at the institutional level can increase breastfeeding initiation, exclusivity, and duration CDC recommends bringing key decision makers together to address the importance of evidence-based breastfeeding practices Source: Shealy 2005
