Abstract
With the advancement of human medicine, there has been extensive research on the benefits of human breast milk and breastfeeding. There are currently several organizations that offer education, support, and resources for women who are considering, or have already started breastfeeding. Despite the strong efforts from many organizations, many people still hold misconceptions regarding breastfeeding, which in turn prevents them from either supporting their partners to breastfeed or breastfeeding themselves. The main purpose of this study was to examine Grand Valley State University undergraduate women's and men's attitudes toward breastfeeding in order to determine if interventional techniques to improve attitudes are needed. This study utilized a cross-sectional descriptive design. The participants in this study were GVSU freshman between the ages of 18-24; they will be surveyed via e-mail using surveymonkey.com. The results of this study are still pending
