Premier Health Reaches Public Health Milestone With Maternity Care
60 Percent of Mothers Now Breastfeed Exclusively, Significantly Higher Than State Average
DAYTON, Ohio (November 21, 2016) – About 60 percent of mothers exclusively breastfeed their infants in the days following delivery at Premier Health hospitals, significantly above the state average.
The breastfeeding rate represents an increase of 12 percentage points from a year earlier, putting Premier Health’s breastfeeding rate at discharge significantly higher than the state average rate of 53 percent at hospital discharge.
As a result of these strides, maternity programs at all Premier Health hospitals are being recognized today through a statewide program for their work in strengthening the bond between mothers and infants. The breastfeeding initiative, Ohio First Steps for Healthy Babies, was launched by the Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio Hospital Association.
“Our employees have shown impressive teamwork during the past year to reach this milestone,” said Marc Belcastro, DO, chief medical officer at Miami Valley Hospital. “This recognition is a testament to their dedication.”
Among the hospitals recognized for promoting, protecting and supporting breastfeeding are Miami Valley Hospital, with an additional site at Miami Valley Hospital South; Good Samaritan Hospital (closed in 2018); Atrium Medical Center; and Upper Valley Medical Center.
“Breast milk benefits babies with its mix of nutrients, protein and fat,” Belcastro said. “It’s easily digestible, and its anti-infective properties help newborns fend off infection.”
Asthma, allergies, respiratory illness and ear infections also occur less frequently in babies that are breastfed, Belcastro said. And research suggests that breastfeeding lowers the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Type 2 diabetes, obesity and other medical conditions.
The benefits don’t end there.
“Breastfeeding also boosts the health of mothers,” says William Rettig, MD, chair of the Premier Health Women’s Health Institute. “It helps women lose pregnancy weight more quickly while reducing their risk of breast and ovarian cancer.”
Through the First Steps program, hospitals are encouraged to adopt measures such as having a written breastfeeding policy that is routinely communicated to all health care staff; showing mothers how to breastfeed; helping mothers initiate breastfeeding within one hour of birth; informing pregnant women about the benefits and management of breastfeeding; avoiding the use of pacifiers and artificial nipples with breastfeeding infants; and fostering the establishment of breastfeeding support groups.
Premier’s hospitals also have removed free infant formula samples and formula company-branded diaper bags and goods from their facilities. The hospitals have been recognized as “bag-free” facilities by First Steps for Healthy Babies in partnership with the Ohio Breastfeeding Alliance and the Ohio Lactation Consultant Association.
“We commend Premier Health hospitals for taking a strong initiative to achieve recognition in the First Steps program through implementation of best practices to support breastfeeding,” said Ryan Everett, director of population health for the Ohio Hospital Association. “Ohio hospitals are ideal partners to help address Ohio’s infant mortality rate and engage patients and the community with effective clinical and professional resources.”
In recognition of the importance of these programs, Premier Health offers lactation consultants and other resources to assist mothers one-on-one or through breastfeeding classes.
