Abstract
The effect of prenatal breastfeeding education on breastfeeding incidence and duration was determined among 31 prenatal WIC participants. The subjects, assigned to a control group (n= 17) or experimental group (n= 14), received prenatal nutrition education through the WIC program. The experimental group received at least one breastfeeding education class. There was no significant difference in breastfeeding incidence between the groups, however, there was a significant difference in breastfeeding incidence by parity (p7).Keywords
