Nursing mothers service: a community breast-feeding program.
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.
