Effect of Primary Care Intervention on Breastfeeding Duration and Intensity

Abstract

LCs integrated into routine care alone and combined with EP guidance from prenatal care providers increased breastfeeding intensity at 3 months postpartum.

Contextualizing online human milk sharing: Structural factors and lactation disparity among middle income women in the U.S.

“…Health care provisioning is a critical component to a mother's overall breastfeeding support system (Bonuck et al, 2014;Bunik et al, 2014;Stuebe, 2014). Pediatricians are particularly Difference between donors and recipients is statistically significant: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.001.…”

“…Income constrains access to health providers who have the expertise needed to assist women as they navigate various breastfeeding challenges (Bonuck et al, 2014;Renfrew et al, 2012;Tenfelde et al, 2011).

Women's Perceptions of Breastfeeding Barriers in Early Postpartum Period: A Qualitative Analysis Nested in Two Randomized Controlled Trials

“…Details of the RCTs and empirical breastfeeding outcomes are reported elsewhere. 22 This study was approved by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine Institutional Review Board.…”

“…21 We have previously demonstrated the effectiveness of IBCLCs in increasing breastfeeding duration and intensity among low-income women in two randomized controlled trials (RCTs). 22 The primary outcomes of the RCTs showed threefold higher odds of high (versus low) breastfeeding at 3 months with IBCLC support. To understand and explain the mechanisms of this effect via evaluation of women's perception of breastfeeding barriers, we performed a qualitative analysis of exit interviews from randomly selected participants from our study population.…”

Breast Cancer Screening Tests in Tabriz Behbood Hospital

“…On the other hand, midwives are the first individuals from the health team who face women and can play a key role in detecting and referring women with breast mass in the screening process. According to the studies, replacement of general surgeon instead of midwife, as first examiner for clinical screening of BC, is not certified in the general health system (17). Unfortunately, most of the people refer when cancer is in an advanced level, thus, it seems necessary to train them in regard to self-breast examination and performing screening test at proper ages (18).…”
