Applying authoritative knowledge to better understand preparation for breastfeeding

In this first application of authoritative knowledge within the context of infant feeding, participants consistently cited biomedical sources as the most accurate and important. However, they cited barriers to gaining this information such as the short duration of prenatal appointments and the challenge of completing prenatal education courses. Many participants sought evidence-based information about breastfeeding on apps, social media, and websites, however content and quality across platforms varies significantly. This may be an avenue to improve access to reliable and helpful breastfeeding information.

Abstract

In this first application of authoritative knowledge within the context of infant feeding, participants consistently cited biomedical sources as the most accurate and important. However, they cited barriers to gaining this information such as the short duration of prenatal appointments and the challenge of completing prenatal education courses. Many participants sought evidence-based information about breastfeeding on apps, social media, and websites, however content and quality across platforms varies significantly. This may be an avenue to improve access to reliable and helpful breastfeeding information.
