1. MCAH Breastfeeding Program Fact Sheet
"Goals
Breastfeeding will be the community norm for infant feeding in ?
California for at least the first year of life in order so that ?
all infants have the opportunity for optimal growth and ?
development and mothers and their babies are protected from many ?
diseases now linked with not breastfeeding."
"Program Activities
Expand the resources available to provide breastfeeding ?
promotion, education and support through all Maternal, Child and ?
Adolescent (MCAH) Branch programs, such as Black Infant Health, ?
Comprehensive Perinatal Services, Adolescent Family Life, ?
California Diabetes and Pregnancy Programs and the Regional ?
Prenatal Programs of California.
Promote the development of healthcare policies, trainings and ?
guidelines so that all programs, health care providers and ?
hospitals support breastfeeding families.
Collaborate with Women, Infant and Children (WIC) Program to ?
increase the level of community knowledge about breastfeeding ?
utilizing the home visitor and peer education model.
Engage experts in the field to provide consultation and ?
recommendations to the community.
Promote participation by MCAH partners throughout the state in ?
local breastfeeding coalitions.
Collaborate with Medi-Cal, including its managed care plans, to ?
improve access to equipment and support for the breastfeeding ?
mother-baby couplet.
Maintain a breastfeeding webpage with evidence-based, up-to-date ?
resources for health care professionals, government, private ?
agencies and the public to increase their knowledge of the ?
medical and psychosocial requirements of the breastfeeding ?
couplet.
Utilize breastfeeding epidemiological information obtained from ?
the Newborn Screening Form, Maternal and Infant Health ?
Assessment, and the Women's Health Survey to design, implement, ?
and evaluate initiatives that provide effective breastfeeding ?
interventions and reach individuals with the most need." |

breastfeeding-related medical conditions.
Cal. Gov't Code 12926, 12940.

to express breast milk, unless doing so would seriously disrupt ?
the employer's business. If possible, the break time must occur ?
during the employee's ordinary break time. The employer must make?
a reasonable effort to provide the mother with a private space ?
close to her work area, other than a bathroom, to express breast ?
milk.
