The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends primary care
interventions before, around and after child birth to encourage and
support breastfeeding.  After evaluating more than 25 randomized trials
of breastfeeding interventions, the Task Force concluded that
coordinated interventions throughout pregnancy, birth, and infancy can
increase breastfeeding initiation, duration and exclusivity.
Interventions that include both prenatal and postnatal components may be
the most effective at increasing the length of time that infants are
breastfed.  Breastfeeding has substantial health benefits to babies and
their mothers.  Babies who are breastfed have fewer infections and
allergic skin rashes than formula-fed babies and are less likely to have
sudden infant death syndrome.  After breastfeeding ends, children who
were breastfed are less likely to develop asthma, diabetes, obesity and
childhood leukemia.  Women who breastfeed have a lower risk for type 2
diabetes, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer than women who have never
breast fed.  This is an update to the 2003 recommendation on counseling
to promote breastfeeding.  The recommendation appears in the October 21
issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine. The recommendation and
materials for clinicians are available on the AHRQ Web site at

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is the leading independent panel
of experts in prevention and primary care.  The Task Force, which is
supported by AHRQ, conducts rigorous, impartial assessments of the
scientific evidence for the effectiveness of a broad range of clinical
preventive services, including screening, counseling, and preventive
medications.  Its recommendations are considered the gold standard for
clinical preventive services.
