title: Supporting breastfeeding: current status and future challenges.
abstract: Although breastfeeding is an optimal source of nutrition that promotes the health and development of infants, rates of breastfeeding have been declining. International conventions and strategies, such as the Innocenti Declaration and the 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, are helping to educate society about the benefits of breastfeeding and to create supports for mothers and their children, but advocacy and education are still needed
