Abstract Breastfeeding can provide many health benefits for both mother and baby. To increase the health benefits for patients, a change project will be implemented to increase the rates of exclusive breastfeeding for postpartum patients. The project will be focusing on teaching and be providing information on health benefits of exclusive breastfeeding. Our project is aiming to increase the rates of exclusive breastfeeding by providing lactation consultants during night shift. Surveys and interviews were conducted pre-program and found most patients are unaware of the health benefits of breastfeeding and the lactation consultant services provided by the hospital. The method used to assist in implementation of this project was Lewin's Change Theory. This theory focuses on three stages to best help change projects. The first stage is unfreezing; the phase focuses on the recognition of a problem within the facility. The second stage is moving; this process involves in-depth discussion to cultivate this new project. The last phase is refreezing, in this stage, the new process has begun implementation. This stage is vital in the sustainability of this project. A Root Cause Analysis was explored to substantiate the need for this project. This analysis showed that our patients' lack of knowledge and information provided along with the negative social norms were causative factors in our patients' hesitancy for exclusive breastfeeding. A cost analysis was conducted and found that hospitalization for an infant who is breastfed exclusively will cost $0 for breast milk, while infants on formula will cost approximately $0.19 per ounce. There was not an opportunity to evaluate this project due to many contributory factors in implementation. There have been many discrepancies in different departments and between day and night shifts, which caused a delay in the execution of this project. Further clarification on discrepancies between shifts and departments is needed to gain success with this project. Once this project is fully functional it is anticipated that there will be a 20% increase in exclusive breastfeeding rates, and a positive patient outcome is expected. Patient satisfaction scores will be gathered at the six-month mark to measure the success of this project. The summation of this project will be to increase exclusive breastfeeding rates for patients in postpartum, which is beneficial for the health of both mother and baby.

The purpose of this study was to examine influences on the maternal process of maintaining lactation while employed outside of home during the first postpartum year as perceived by the mother. The American Academy of Pediatrics specifies human breast milk as the best source of nutrition during the first 12 months of life (Gartner, et. al., 2005). The United States Department of Labor reports (USBLS, 2009) that 56.4% of American women who have children less than 1 year of age, are employed. Employment is often cited as related to early weaning (Johnston & Esposito, 2007; McInnes & Chambers, 2008; Nichols & Roux, 2004; Rojjanasrirat & Sousa, 2010; Stewart-Glenn, 2008; Ryan, Zhou, & Arsenberg, 2006). This research was undertaken to address a significant gap in the empirical literature regarding mothers' self-description of the process of maintaining lactation upon return to the workplace. Eleven breastfeeding mothers shared personal perspectives of the process that they face in their everyday work lives in semi-structured interviews. This qualitative study led to the development of a grounded theory of this process, which was labeled, 'Willfully Struggling to Maintain Daily Balance'. Findings captured personal perceptions of critical elements related to this process that may serve to inform the development of effective nursing interventions or policy in support of breastfeeding and employed mothers. The study found that the breastfeeding and employed mothers began the process with a sense of willful self-determination to combine lactation with employment, the influence of role models, and basic breastfeeding knowledge. Mothers struggled with intervening variables that either bolstered or undermined their efforts during the process, such as adequate sleep and/or breast milk supply, and elements of support or non-support. Mothers developed individual strategies for use in maintaining a daily balance between their 'breastfeeding and employment efforts and for addressing any intervening variables. The employed and breastfeeding mothers ultimately found 'a way to make it work' and/or 'made their peace with' resultant outcomes. The research addressed the question of what influences the maternal process of breastfeeding while employed outside of the home during the first postpartum year in a sample of central Texas women.

My sleep deprivation was affecting every aspect of my life. I read several books on sleep training, as well as blogs and websites. I was at my wits end. After following the program for two weeks, my child was consistently sleeping 11-12 hours a night and was on a consistent schedule during the day! This program has literally given me my life back." - McKel Neilsen "Two months ago I was at the end of my sleep rope with our 6-month-old, boy/girl twins. Exhausted doesn't begin to explain it, I felt desperate. After using the Baby Sleep Trainer Method we feel like we have our lives back. The babies are happy and well rested, and so are we! We have our evenings back to cook dinner, spend time with our 4-year-old daughter, hang out together, and actually do things we enjoy. The process took commitment but has been absolutely worth every bit of it." - Beth Oller, MD "Using the Baby Sleep Trainer Method, my daughter quickly went to a routine nap schedule during the day and sleeping through the night from 6:30pm to 6:30am! Also, rather than the exhausting and often unsuccessful rocking or soothing or feeding to sleep, we were able to put her down awake in her crib and she would fall asleep on her own in just a few minutes. It was just incredible." - Online Review
