Support during the early establishment phase of breastfeeding is important but women report that health professionals can undermine their confidence with breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding support provided in fragmented hospital based models of care predominantly reflect authoritative expert advice-giving which women describe as conflicting and unsupportive. Women show a preference for support from a known midwife, or a peer supporter, or a combination of the two.
Peer support counsellors and privately practicing midwives approached breastfeeding support in a similar way. They interacted with women as a ‘knowledgeable friend’ and normalised breastfeeding challenges which enhanced women’s confidence with breastfeeding.
母乳喂养早期建立阶段的支持很重要，但女性报告称，卫生专业人员可能会破坏她们对母乳喂养的信心。
在以医院为基础的零散护理模式中提供的母乳喂养支持主要反映了权威性专家的建议，女性称这些建议相互矛盾且不支持。女性更倾向于得到熟悉的助产士、同伴支持者或两者的结合的支持。
同伴支持顾问和私人执业的助产士以类似的方式接近母乳喂养支持。他们以“知识渊博的朋友”的身份与女性互动，并使母乳喂养的挑战正常化，从而增强了女性对母乳喂养的信心。
