    Reaching Teen Moms with Breastfeeding Education & Support

    Historically, breastfeeding rates among teens are lower than other subsets of women in the U.S. The decision to breastfeed can seem overwhelming for young parents struggling to balance multiple priorities.

Low health literacy disproportionately affects the people who most often seek public health services.
