About FeedingYourBaby.org

Overview: FeedingYourBaby.org is a series of online interactive modules designed to foster knowledge about infant nutrition with a goal of increasing breastfeeding rates in infants from birth through 6 months of age.

Maternal responses to questions form a needs assessment which the health care practitioner can use to facilitate anticipatory guidance during the well child visit in a time efficient manner.

In addition, the Feeding Your Baby modules take advantage of the patient's waiting time by providing breastfeeding and formula feeding patient education within clinic waiting areas. If directed by their caregiver, mothers in a practice can also access the nutrition modules from their computer at home.

A professional education module focusing on breastfeeding is in development. It will provide pediatricians with enhanced tools and skills in mother and infant nutrition. The main objective will be to teach busy pediatricians to integrate health promotion and nutritional counseling, particularly breastfeeding, into the limited time available during a patient visit.
