5 National Policy Framework (cont.) Green Paper on Nutrition and Physical Activity (under development) The aim of the policy document: To develop an extensive cross-cutting approach that would: promote healthy and balanced nutrition and regular physical activity during all stages of life, incl. promotion of breastfeeding decrease health problems that result from unbalanced nutrition and excessive body weight reduce non-communicable diseases, thus extend the length of healthy life in general.

11 The role of Health Care Settings and Community (1) In Estonia breast-feeding is the norm for feeding the newborn. Medical workers do not ask mother whether she intends to do it or not; All the children (if there are no medical contraindications) are placed after the birth on mother's abdomen (skin to skin contact), where they stay for two hours; Counselling at hospitals after the birth of child due to the barriers of breastfeeding is regionally not equally available. Counselling at Primary Health Care Settings is a part of monthly visits during the first year

12 The role of Health Care Settings and Community (2) Counselling in Communities: Volunteer consultants (NGO-s) supported by the Ministry of Social Affairs (Project funded). Training of midwives, family physicians, family nurses ( Project funded) Future plans: Mandatory home visits by the family nurse on the baby`s first week of life.

13 Campaigns to promote breastfeeding The annual breastfeeding week Conference and lectures (first week in August) Last campaign focused on three themes: fathers who can support women breastfeeding in public breast feed as the most nutritious food These small video clips distributed on the internet websites.
