Framing of messages about breastfeeding policy in the media can foster or hinder interpretations of policy’s potential benefits and may ultimately influence important policy decisions in institutions and legislative bodies. This study evaluated how breastfeeding policies were framed in print and web-based newspapers in Washington State; to identify sources of frames; to examine the balance of media coverage in support or against breastfeeding policy adoption.
