The effectiveness of the breastfeeding peer counselor role is thought to be embedded in the relationship between new and experienced mothers. In this study, new mothers of very low birth weight infants emphasized that one of the most important aspects of their relationship with the breastfeeding peer counselors is the peer or shared experience of how difficult it can be to provide milk and breastfeed while coping with the emotional stress of having an infant in the neonatal intensive care unit. This study provides evidence for the promotion and facilitation of lactation for mothers of neonatal intensive care unit infants through the use of breastfeeding peer counselors who are peers by virtue of the shared experience of providing milk for an infant hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit.
母乳喂养同伴咨询师角色的有效性被认为根植于新老母亲之间的关系。在这项研究中，极低出生体重婴儿的新母亲强调，她们与母乳喂养同伴咨询师关系中最重要的一个方面是同伴或共同经历，即当应对新生儿重症监护病房中婴儿的情感压力时，提供牛奶和母乳喂养是多么困难。这项研究为通过使用母乳喂养同伴咨询师来促进和促进新生儿重症监护病房婴儿的母亲进行母乳喂养提供了证据，这些同伴咨询师是通过为在新生儿重症监护病房住院的婴儿提供牛奶这一共同经历而成为同伴的。
