Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Healthy Moms intervention on antenatal breastfeeding self efficacy and intention and to determine the feasibility of using an online game based learning platform to deliver antenatal breastfeeding education. Background The Internet has potential for improving breastfeeding rates through improving women’s access to antenatal breastfeeding education. Methods Twelve computer based breastfeeding education modules were developed using an online learning platform. Changes in participants’ breastfeeding self efficacy and intention pre and post intervention were measured using descriptive statistics and a one way ANOVA. Results Of the 25 women submitting the pretest, four completed zero quests; seven, orientation only; eight, one to six breastfeeding quests; and six, 10 to 12 breastfeeding quests. No significant differences in breastfeeding self efficacy and intention were found among the groups. Conclusions Online antenatal breastfeeding education is feasible; however, further research is warranted to determine if it can affect breastfeeding outcomes.
