The selected vendor will be responsible for implementing and maintaining partnerships for peer counselor services, increasing the frequency and duration of breastfeeding among mothers, and expanding current services where possible. Responsibilities include providing breastfeeding information, making appropriate referrals regarding health or medication issues, and maintaining contact with eligible women through various means such as phone, in-person visits, classes, support groups, email, text, and virtual meetings.
