Peri-Surgical Support: Experiences of Breastfeeding Women

While awareness of breastfeeding benefits is generally good amongst breastfeeding mothers, women's experiences around breastfeeding support during surgical procedures vary, often not reflecting the most recent evidence-based standards. Better education of healthcare professionals, more comprehensive surgical protocols, or greater awareness of existing guidelines could help to meet the need for breastfeeding support during surgery.

Abstract

While awareness of breastfeeding benefits is generally good amongst breastfeeding mothers, women's experiences around breastfeeding support during surgical procedures vary, often not reflecting the most recent evidence-based standards. Better education of healthcare professionals, more comprehensive surgical protocols, or greater awareness of existing guidelines could help to meet the need for breastfeeding support during surgery.
