About the MotherBaby Summit:

The goal of the MotherBaby Summit Initiative is to educate about best practices in mother-baby care and learn strategies from other maternity leaders who have had success with change. 

This year, in March 2012, we convened the Massachusetts MotherBaby Summit 4 and expanded to Pennsylvania to host the Philadelphia Urban MotherBaby Summit.

If you are looking for Massachusetts-specific information about the CDC mPINC survey you have come to the right place. Ditto for Masshusetts breastfeeding rates, whose banned the bags and more. All this information can be found under its own page and the same for Philadelphia.

We post all our information and tools on this website and hope it will be your go-to resource. For background information, visit the links to the left. For state-specific information, view the links at the top of the page.

Enjoy and good luck with your changes!
