“…Results in other studies indicate that telelactation is a viable alternative to in-person lactation support for some populations [13][14][15]17,20]; however, our findings suggest it may not be acceptable to all. The complexity of acceptability of telelactation is supported by other findings from this study.…”

“…Women in our study who perceived telelactation as offering support to women "wherever they needed it" were less likely to feel uncomfortable using telelactation, suggesting that marketing this attribute may be effective in increasing uptake. Lactation professionals have a positive effect on breastfeeding exclusivity and duration [47,48], and telelactation, which allows for live counseling to mothers outside of normal clinical hours, offers a less time consuming and more accessible [13] way for women to attain breastfeeding support than in person consultations.…”

“…Research has shown that telelactation, or the use of videoconferencing software for lactation assistance, is a promising option to provide lactation support [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], particularly for women in rural areas [15,19,20]. However, there are few studies on the acceptability of telelactation support [13,14,17], and no studies on the acceptability of this technology among urban women from diverse demographic backgrounds. The primary objective of this study was to characterize technology use among urban mothers during the postpartum period and determine conditions under which women may be willing to adopt telelactation services and support.…”

The objectives were to identify conditions under which mothers may be willing to use telelactation and explore associations between participant characteristics, willingness, and beliefs regarding telelactation use. Mothers 2-8 weeks postpartum were recruited from two Florida maternal care sites and surveyed to assess demographics, breastfeeding initiation, and potential telelactation use. Analyses included descriptive statistics and logistic regression models. Of the 88 participants, most were white, married, earned less than $50,000 per year, had access to technology, and were willing to use telelactation if it was free (80.7%) or over a secure server (63.6%). Fifty-six percent were willing to use telelactation if it involved feeding the baby without a cover, but only 45.5% were willing if their nipples may be seen. Those with higher odds of willingness to use telelaction under these modesty conditions were experienced using videochat, white, married, and of higher income. Mothers with security concerns had six times the odds of being uncomfortable with telelactation compared to mothers without concerns. While telelactation can improve access to critical services, willingness to use telelactation may depend on conditions of use and sociodemographics. During the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, these findings offer important insights for lactation professionals implementing virtual consultations.

“…To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first quantitative assessment of the acceptance of VCLS among a national sample of mothers with young infants, with breastfeeding experience, and with little to no experience with VC technology. To date, existing research has been largely qualitative in nature or has been conducted with relatively small sample sizes (Habibi et al, 2012; Rojjanasrirat, Nelson, & Wambach, 2012). This study was designed to address some of the gaps identified in these previous studies.…”

“…Implementing multisite studies and allowing for a longer follow-up that includes all races and ethnicities are needed to test the long-term effects of these web-based, tailored interventions. Different types of mobile technologies are widely available and can play an important role in healthcare at the regional, community, and individual levels (Habibi et al, 2012; WHO, 2011). …”

Objective-To determine whether a web-based, interactive, breastfeeding monitoring system increased breastfeeding duration, exclusivity, and intensity as primary outcomes and decreased symptoms of postpartum depression as a secondary outcome.Methods-A two arm randomized controlled trial took place in three Midwestern hospitals. Postpartum women were randomly assigned to the control or intervention group. Women in the control group (n=57) followed the standard hospital protocol, while women in the intervention group (n= 49) were given access to an online, interactive, breastfeeding monitoring system and prompted to record breastfeeding and infant output data for 30 days. A follow-up online survey was sent to both groups at 1, 2, and 3 months to assess breastfeeding outcomes and postpartum depression.Results-For mothers and infants, there were no significant differences in demographics between groups. No significant differences in breastfeeding outcomes were found between groups at discharge (p = 0.707). A significant difference in breastfeeding outcomes was found between groups at 1, 2, and 3 months (p = 0.027, p = 0.000 and p = 0.002).

HHS Public Access Author Manuscript Author ManuscriptAuthor ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript group had higher exclusive breastfeeding rates at 1, 2, and 3 months. By the end of the third month, 84% of the intervention group was breastfeeding compared to 66% in the control group. Postpartum depression symptom scores decreased for both groups at 1, 2, and 3 months (4.9±3.9, 4.3±4.9, and 3.2±3.9 for control and 4.7±4.5, 3.0±3.4, and 2.8±3.6 for intervention). However, there was no significant difference between groups at 1, 2, and 3 months (p= 0.389, 0.170, and 0.920) for depression. Conclusion-The web-based interactive breastfeeding monitoring system may be a promising intervention to improve breastfeeding duration, exclusivity, and intensity. KeywordsWeb-based interactive monitoring; Breastfeeding; e-health; Breastfeeding supportThe benefits of breastfeeding and the risks associated with formula feeding are well known. Infants who are not breastfed are at increased risk for infections that include otitis media and diarrhea, elevated risks of childhood obesity, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, leukemia, and sudden ...

Remote Lactation Consultation

Abstract: Emergent themes were grounded in existing literature, and potential scales were identified to assist with development of a future tool to test the theoretical model. Responses to the videoconferencing experience were positive, but preferred use of the technology was situational.
