Fathers Supporting Breastfeeding - Fathers Supporting Breastfeeding is an FNS project targeted to African American fathers so that they may positively impact a mother’s decision to breastfeed.  The project is part of a continual effort to increase breastfeeding initiation and duration rates among African American women by involving fathers in breastfeeding promotion efforts. Materials include: 2 posters, 2 educational brochures, and a video with a discussion guide.  The accompanying materials are designed to promote breastfeeding awareness and to support and strengthen the role of fathers in the family (available for order online at no cost for as long as supplies last).
