Abstract
Overall, we found that African American men were supportive of breastfeeding, knew that breastfeeding was best for infants, and had positive attitudes toward breastfeeding. However, we found consistent gaps in knowledge about the actual health benefits to mothers and infants and conflicting attitudes toward breastfeeding. Results emphasize the need for health education efforts to improve attitudes toward breastfeeding in public.
