First primary care visit of the newborn and its implications for breastfeeding
The first primary care visit of the newborn occurs late in Spain. Rates of EBF have declined over the past decade, highlighting the need for targeted interventions that address modifiable determinants. The strongest predictor for EBF at one month is having previous breastfeeding experience. Early postnatal follow-up of newborns in primary care appears to have a beneficial effect on EBF maintenance at one month, although other determinants may mediate or influence its impact.
