This program is based on influence of peer support and counseling which are provided to mothers to increase rates of breastfeeding in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). They conducted two ways to provide care to infants. Firstly, the peer counselors share their personal experiences and encourage women to breastfeed their infants (Rossman et al., 2011). Furthermore, they also created an environment that enables maternal and infant interactions. Therefore, interpersonal support from peers helps greatly in increasing the rates of breastfeeding. Their main aim was to enhance quality of care provided to family and infants in NICU (Rossman et al., 2011).
