Abstract
Lack of access to qualified providers contributes to poor breastfeeding outcomes in the United States. This paper examines graduate APRNs current practice, attitudes, knowledge and skill, and educational experience with breastfeeding care. Results show low confidence and limited knowledge in breastfeeding care, dissatisfaction with recent graduate education on the subject, and a strong desire for professional training in breastfeeding care to be included as a mandatory component of APRN graduate education.
