About The Event
At this meeting on mental health and breastfeeding, network members will discuss how breastfeeding success and exclusive breastfeeding may lower maternal stress responses and the risk of postpartum depression, while women who are not successful or wean prematurely due to problems experienced may be at increased risk. Additionally, network members will discuss how postpartum depression experienced by mothers may negatively impact breastfeeding outcomes. Understanding this relationship can highlight the importance of providing breastfeeding support to mothers, and tailoring this support to the needs of those experiencing mental health challenges.
