- Abstract
- OBJECTIVE: To better understand faculty, staff and student knowledge, attitudes and practices related to breastfeeding at the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill. METHODS: An e-survey was developed, reviewed by a panel of stakeholders, sent out to campus-wide mailing lists on two occasions, and analyzed using Qualtrics software. RESULTS: The majority of the UNC community has positive attitudes towards breastfeeding and maternal support, and state that it contributes to bettering UNC’s image. However, women who express their milk on campus report lack of support, including for the time needed: an average of twice a day for 15-30 minutes. CONCLUSION: The UNC community needs to be better informed about policies that exist concerning breastfeeding, should ensure that supervisors understand these policies, and needs to improve the lactation rooms.
