title: Nursing mothers service: a community breast-feeding program.
abstract: An upward trend in breast feeding has been seen in recent years, and health care providers must take an active role in providing services to lactating women if this trend continues. A nurse managed, hospital-based, breast-feeding program that provides continuity of care and supportive services from the hospital to the community for lactating women is described.
