The Continuity of Care Constellation recognizes that protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding requires the involvement of many where families live, work and play. Families require supportive individuals, community environments and organizations to have a feasible, positive and successful breastfeeding experience.
We recognize the breastfeeding experience encompasses more than just a parent and child. All involved must be given consistent messaging and support through an integrated referral system, to the appropriate level of support, throughout the entire breastfeeding experience. Continuity of Care for breastfeeding removes the burden from families to seek their own education and support. To do this, it must be properly coordinated with warm hand offs through the responsible individuals, stakeholders, community environments and providers engaged in protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding. Continuity of Care for Breastfeeding brings equity to education and support by removing instances of breastfeeding families falling through the cracks due to systems, policy or care issues as well as transitions across various types of care and support. |
