How can we support the individual breastfeeding experience? Quantitative results from a mixed-methods study
Our results emphasize the pivotal role of the mother's comfort in the breastfeeding process and it's impact on breastfeeding duration. Strategies to enhace maternal comfort therefore need to be specifically included in maternal care. To explore key aspects of maternal comfort qualitative interviews will address the individual experiences in the breastfeeding journey and identify parent-centred strategies for sustainable breastfeeding.
