Three‐quarters of mothers should be breastfeeding their babies in the early postpartum; 50 percent at six months, according to Healthy People 2010. Health care providers often give inconsistent information and messages to mothers about breastfeeding even though most mothers birthing babies say they want to breastfeed their infants. Baby‐Friendly is one initiative that helps providers get "on the same page" when it comes to promoting breastfeeding.
