Scoping Review of Women’s Experiences of Breastfeeding Associated With Maternity Care in Hospitals That Implement Baby-Friendly Policies
We found that various interrelated factors in addition to BFHI-specific policies influenced women's experiences. Based on these results, we suggest that awareness of women's personal breastfeeding experiences is crucial to delivering optimal care and developing evidence-based policies. Breastfeeding practice guidelines and policies should be developed to encompass women's experiences to enhance future inpatient breastfeeding support.
