The Anderson et al article1 on a peer counseling intervention to increase exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is timely, given proposed Healthy People 2010 revised goals of 60% of mothers EBF at 3 months and 25% at 6 months.2 Currently, just 46% of US mothers EBF at hospital discharge, while 17% do so at 6 months.3 The Anderson et al study involved several elements of “best practice” education and support, including prenatal home visits (n = 3), daily hospital visits, and postpartum home visits (n = 9), designed to boost EBF.
