Lactation Support
The Child Care Health Program staff has created a model lactation support policy designed to assist child care providers in supporting lactating parents and babies who are fed human milk. Health professionals agree that human milk is the best food for babies. With your help, babies in your care can still get the benefits of human milk when away from their parents. We hope you will find this document useful in your programs.
