Abstract
Breastfeeding is a public health priority, recommended by all leading health authorities. Although numerous interventions and global initiatives have demonstrated some effect on improving breastfeeding outcomes, breastfeeding rates remain suboptimal. Educational support is a component of these interventions that assists families to establish and maintain breastfeeding. Although parents are being provided with education, information that is received appears to be inconsistent resulting in breastfeeding recommendations not being met. The objectives of this paper are to discuss health literacy, the evidence in support of health literacy, and potential strategies to guide the implementation of breastfeeding interventions and program development.
