This book was released on 2006 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem: Breastfeeding has long been recognized as the preferred method of feeding in the first year of life (American Academy of Pediatrics, 1997). Extensive research confirms the nutritional, economic, biomedical, immunological, and psychological advantages of breast milk. Despite the clear benefits of breastfeeding to mother and infant, breastfeeding rates today continue to remain below the recommended levels in the United States (US), most notably among low-income mothers. Research has shown that breastfeeding self-efficacy is one predictive factor affecting breastfeeding duration. Theoretical Framework: Dennis's (1999) Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Theory, was the basis for this study. Using this theory, the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Intervention Program (BSEIP) was developed. The intervention consisted of a one-hour program delivered during the last trimester of pregnancy. The BSEIP consisted of measures to increase breastfeeding self-efficacy, including education, practice, and demonstration of breastfeeding techniques. Social support and practical advice were provided in the first two-weeks of the postpartum period. Methods: A quasi-Experimental design was used to test the effect of the BSEIP on duration of breastfeeding. A convenience sample of 36 low-income predominately non-Hispanic White women was recruited from two prenatal clinics on the outskirts of a large metropolitan area. All women indicated their intent to breastfeed their infant. Women were assigned by prenatal clinic to either receive or not receive the BSEIP. Data were collected using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES) and a demographic profile. Women were contacted by telephone at two and six weeks postpartum to determine if they were still breastfeeding and to complete the BSES. Results: Women who received the BSEIP had greater breastfeeding self-efficacy at two and six weeks postpartum than women who did not receive the intervention; women who received the intervention also increased their self-efficacy scores over time. The mean duration of breastfeeding between the two Groups was also statistically significant: Women who received the intervention breastfed for an average of 28.82 days compared to 11.86 days for women who did not receive the intervention. Implications: The results of this study suggest that the one-hour BSEIP during the last trimester of the prenatal period may increase the duration of breastfeeding in low-income women who intend to breastfeed. This study supports the literature which found that prenatal education and postpartum support are important to the outcome of breastfeeding.

Book excerpt: Prenatal breastfeeding education specifies a specific and deliberate manner of promoting and instructing pregnant mothers about breastfeeding throughout the 40 weeks of gestation. Through this structured format of education provided by physicians, midwives, nurse practitioners and nurses, the initiation and duration of breastfeeding could be significantly influenced. Prenatal breastfeeding education can also undermine a mother's decision to breast feed by inadequate levels of health care provider's knowledge and confidence in promoting and supporting a mother's decision to breastfeed and for a sustained continuation in the postpartum phase of pregnancy. In 2009, the United States reported the births of over 4 million babies. The education provided by health care providers significantly influenced many of those mothers' decisions of whether or not they initiated and/or continued breastfeeding after being discharged home from the hospital. Providers can drastically improve a mother's self-efficacy with breastfeeding through support and encouragement. Current breastfeeding rates may reflect the potential problems that may be happening in the current way breastfeeding education is currently being delivered. Breastfeeding rates of 73.9% for initiation and 43.4% duration at six months fall significantly below the Healthy People 2020 goals of 81.9% for initiation and 60.6% for continued duration of breastfeeding up to 6 months (Infant Health, 2015). The model that guides this study is the social support model which is often integrated into health promotion interventions which include informational, instrumental, appraising and emotional. Through this model expectant mothers enhance their positive self-image along with enhancing the quality of life for both the mother and the infant with breastfeeding. Many women are able to return to work quicker and have less work time missed related to recovering faster from pregnancy and labor and infants Prenatal breastfeeding education specifies a specific and deliberate manner of promoting and instructing pregnant mothers about breastfeeding throughout the 40 weeks of gestation.

Many women are able to return to work quicker and have less work time missed related to recovering faster from pregnancy and labor and infants being less sick. The quality of care can be enhanced by having educated nurses and physicians that are confident with their knowledge about breastfeeding. Outcomes for both mother and infant are potentially greater with increased bonding facilitated with breastfeeding, reduced risk of postpartum hemorrhage and an enhanced immune system for the newborn to fight off infections from passive immunity from their mother. This project will examine prenatal breastfeeding education and how this significantly influences the initiation and duration or breastfeeding based on current education and support by physicians', midwives, nurse practitioners and nurses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Infant feeding methods are most often determined by a mother prior to the birth of her newborn. Interventions geared toward increasing maternal breastfeeding knowledge, self-efficacy, and intent have been shown to be effective in improving breastfeeding exclusivity rates. The purpose of this evidence-based practice change project was to increase knowledge regarding the benefits of breastfeeding exclusivity and intent to exclusively breastfeed in a historically underserved population through the implementation of an empowerment breastfeeding education class. The program was offered to pregnant women who were planning to deliver their newborns in one of two northern Manhattan affiliated nurseries. The mothers were primarily Latina, speak Spanish or English, and have either Medicaid coverage or no insurance at the time of the visit. Overall, this population is particularly prone to low breastfeeding exclusivity. A prenatal class in both Spanish and English was provided to five expectant mothers. The contents of the program included material on the importance of breastfeeding exclusivity, education designed to improve breastfeeding self-efficacy, and advanced decision making strategies to prepare mothers for potential obstacles. Participants completed a pre- and post-course Likert scale survey as well as general demographic information. Given the small sample size, frequencies and percentages were used to evaluate the data. Pre- and post-test differences were measured at the level of the group as well as the individual. Participants demonstrated an increase in breastfeeding exclusivity knowledge and belief in their ability to know whether their babies are getting enough breast milk. All mothers in this group had intended to exclusively breastfeed for at least the first two weeks postpartum prior to taking the class. " -- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exploding science of human milk, lactation, breastfeeding and human milk feeding has brought us to our current understanding that we are studying a complex system operating at multiple levels: molecular, cellular, physiological, immunological, nutritional, ontological and socio-behavioral and techno-political. Modern research in this field is responding to new scientific questions and emerging policy needs that can leverage technological innovations and sophisticated multidisciplinary approaches. The International Society for the Study of Human Milk and Lactation 2022 international conference brings together professionals from research disciplines (such as anthropology, biochemistry, immunology, molecular biology, maternal and child health and nutrition, physiology, toxicology), health care professionals (such as medical doctors, nurses, midwifes, dieticians, breastfeeding consultants), policy makers and commercial entities that promote, protect and support breastfeeding.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for the baby's first six months after birth, and continue breastfeed (BF) up to two years and beyond, has been an ultimate goal of World Health Organization (WHO), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) (Willumsen, 2013). BF has been recognized as having numerous health benefits for mothers and babies as well as cost-saving to families, and environmental friendly to the world. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of provision of BF education and EBF policies to health care professionals and mothers; intensive BF support to mothers, and the increase of staffing ratios on the improvement of EBF rate in the in-patient hospital setting. The significant drop of EBF rate (from 80-90% down to 60-70%) in the past few months at the author's baby-friendly hospital (BFH) drew the departmental managers' intention to initiate a pilot study to improve and maintain the EBF rate to required level (75%). Based on the research studies, low EBF rates could be increased by using intensified BF education and support from lactation consultants and nursing staff; strategies such as appropriate staffing ratios, collaboration of family members and support groups. Mothers who have health problems and unexpected birth experiences should receive extra BF support from health professionals and family members. To obtain the informal approval from key stakeholders is critical for the development of the implementation plan. Meetings are needed to address the issues; the evidence to support the proposed solutions and the urgency to change. After approval, a BF committee for the project will be formed and meeting will be carried out at a regular basis. The study takes a four-week period emphasizing on Breastfeeding Bundle (BFB) (Include: skin-to-skin care after delivery, initiate BF within the first hour, rooming-in, and no pacifier or supplement other than breast milk except medically indicated). Data collection for the evaluation process is chart review. The standard data measuring table will be used to assess the rate. BF committee members will review charts of discharged mothers and babies. Percentage of practicing skin-to-skin care, initiation of BF, BF education, and satisfaction will be calculated. Using the data collected at discharge from postpartum unit to identify the perinatal BF rates and the type of feeding. Previous studies concluded low EBF rates could be increased by intensified BF education and support; appropriate staffing ratios, and collaboration of family members and support groups. To disseminate the results, key committee members need to schedule meetings with the stakeholders to report the project outcome, to receive their input, and to ensure this EBP can be continued to sustain in the long run after implementation. Strategies for effective dissemination of results are presenting by PowerPoint, sending e-mails, posters, or flyers, et cetera.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Breastfeeding is a natural process that promotes health, prevents infant and childhood diseases, and reduces healthcare costs. Despite evidence supporting the importance of breastfeeding during the first year of life, breastfeeding rates in the United States remain low. The purpose of this evidence-based practice (EBP) change project was to increase maternal self-efficacy of breastfeeding among low-income women by providing one-on-one breastfeeding education. This study examined the effectiveness of breastfeeding education on improving breastfeeding self-efficacy, the major determinant of breastfeeding outcomes. Methods used included one-onone educational sessions about the benefits and challenges of breastfeeding, positioning, latching-on, breastfeeding self-efficacy, exclusivity and duration, as well as a hands-on demonstration, to a convenience sample of 38 post-partum mothers. The Breastfeeding Self- Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) was used to evaluate the maternal self-efficacy of breastfeeding. The results demonstrated that self-efficacy-based breastfeeding education significantly increased breastfeeding exclusivity and duration among low-income women. There was a 34 % increase in exclusivity, and 29% and 45% increases in durations of nine and 12 months, respectively. A potential implication of this EBP change project to clinical practice is the use of self-efficacy-based breastfeeding education to successfully promote breastfeeding exclusivity and duration." -- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malnutrition is one of the leading causes of death for infants and children around the globe. In many countries, a lack of breastfeeding contributes to this malnutrition in addition to other possibly preventable diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and asthma. In America, only 14.1% of infants are exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life which is the World Health Organization's (WHO) current recommendation for breastfeeding duration. The Imperial Valley, which is a medically underserved and culturally diverse county in Southern California, has breastfeeding rates far below the national average and the highest rates of obesity, asthma, and diabetes in the state. The two hospitals serving the Imperial Valley often care for mothers who have not received prenatal breastfeeding education or postnatal support in the primary care setting. One of these hospitals, Pioneers Memorial Hospital (PMH), has recently been designated as 'Baby-Friendly' indicating their promotion of breast milk as the only food for infants. Despite their efforts, breastfeeding rates remain low. Current evidence based research indicates a combination of prenatal and postnatal breastfeeding education can positively impact breastfeeding rates, maternal confidence, and extend breastfeeding duration. Programs designed to follow-up with mothers after delivery also improve patient outcomes (Balaluka and others, 2012). To improve breastfeeding rates in the Imperial Valley, several change measures need to occur. First, standardized breastfeeding education policies and procedures are needed in the primary care setting and hospital units (Teixeira and others, 2013). Next, nursing staff from PMH, primary care settings, home health agencies, and public health settings will attend a 2 day breastfeeding education course provided by a certified lactation consultant. Nurses at PMH will also need to shadow a lactation consultant for a day. Then, six nurses will be designated to provide weekly public prenatal and postnatal breastfeeding education courses. These nurses will also provide outpatient services to mothers experiencing breastfeeding complications in the postpartum period. These visits will be offered in the public clinics or lactation offices at PMH. To evaluate the effectiveness of the change project, nurses and mothers who participated will be given questionnaires to assess their breastfeeding knowledge before and after receiving education. Nursing staff will complete surveys that determine their perceptions of the process and outcomes. Surveys will also be conducted to determine maternal demographics and feelings regarding the educational courses or outpatient services. To disseminate the findings to staff at PMH, outcomes will be presented during a staff meeting and will be placed in the monthly staff newsletter. To disseminate outcomes to the nursing community, results will be sent via e-mail to nursing directors throughout California, to nursing organizations and to breastfeeding organizations.

Abstract: In Hong Kong, while around 85% of mothers choose to breastfeed their infants, most discontinue within the first one to two months postpartum. This indicates that there is room for improving the current breastfeeding education. A randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a professional one-to-one antenatal breastfeeding support and education intervention on the exclusivity and duration of breastfeeding. A total of 469 primiparous women who attended the antenatal clinics of two geographically distributed public hospitals in Hong Kong were randomized to receive either standard antenatal care or a one-to-one antenatal breastfeeding support and education session. The primary outcome was the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 weeks postpartum. Secondary outcomes were the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding at 3 and 6 months postpartum, as well as the overall duration of any and exclusive breastfeeding across the first 6 months postpartum. The study had a least 80% power to detect a 50% increase in the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 weeks postpartum. The exclusive breastfeeding rate in the intervention group was 37.8% at 6 weeks postpartum compared with 36.4% in the standard care group (p=0.77; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) -0.08, 0.11). There were no significant differences between the two treatment groups in exclusive breastfeeding rates at 3 and 6 months or in in the overall duration of any (Hazard Ratio (HR) =1.11; 95% CI 0.88, 1.40) or exclusive breastfeeding (HR=0.96; 95% CI 0.79, 1.17). In a setting with a high breastfeeding initiation rate, one-to-one antenatal breastfeeding support and education did not increase the exclusivity or duration of breastfeeding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breastfeeding is championed as an effective way to improve global health, associated with improved health outcomes for children and mothers. Various public health strategies to promote breastfeeding have been developed and implemented for over four decades, yet progress has stagnated, and exclusive breastfeeding rates remain low globally. From an evolutionary anthropological perspective, low breastfeeding rates seem like an 'evolutionary puzzle'; breastfeeding is a behaviour which confers survival and fitness advantage to children and mothers, yet so many mothers do not breastfeed exclusively or at all. Is this a globally maladaptive behaviour? Framing breastfeeding as a maternal investment behaviour, an evolutionary perspective directs us to consider the fitness costs of breastfeeding, together with the role of social learning and cultural norms. Indeed, an evolutionary anthropological perspective provides insights to why some breastfeeding-promotion strategies may have been ineffective, while pointing to potentially promising policies and practices which have been overlooked
