High 5 for Mom & Baby coordinator Gwen Whittit outlines how the program helps hospitals implement evidence-based practices proven to support breastfeeding success and improve infant and maternal health outcomes. More than 80% of new mothers come to the hospital with the intention to breastfeed their babies, and recognition as a High 5 for Mom & Baby facility reassures delivering mothers that they'll have the support they need to successfully initiate and maintain breastfeeding. The program provides hospitals with resources, examples, policy templates, and more to help facilities take their maternity care to the next level and achieve recognition.
