Interventions in mHealth have had positive effects on establishing and maintaining breastfeeding, but we still do not know what content women consult when downloading a breastfeeding mobile application. We conducted an observational, descriptive, and retrospective study using the data recorded by LactApp in 2019. The most frequently consulted topics were those related to breastfeeding technique, infant sleep, human milk management and storage, breastfeeding myths, breastfeeding stages, complementary feeding, infant care, and returning to work. Our study results suggest that LactApp's support seems to develop with mothers' needs according to their infant's development stage. The first breastfeeding days include more physiological answers. Between 15 days and 3 months, mothers look for support in topics like breastfeeding crisis/complications and returning to work. At 3 months to 1 year, answers are related to complementary feeding and weaning. When the user's infant is 1 year of age, mothers seek support for weaning, weaning management, and tandem breastfeeding.
移动医疗干预措施对建立和维持母乳喂养有积极影响，但我们仍不知道女性在下载母乳喂养移动应用程序时会咨询哪些内容。我们使用 LactApp 在 2019 年记录的数据进行了一项观察性、描述性和回顾性研究。咨询最多的主题是与母乳喂养技巧、婴儿睡眠、人乳管理和储存、母乳喂养误区、母乳喂养阶段、补充喂养、婴儿护理和重返工作有关的主题。我们的研究结果表明，LactApp 的支持似乎根据婴儿的发育阶段发展，满足母亲的需求。最初的母乳喂养日子包括更多的生理问题解答。在 15 天至 3 个月之间，母亲会在母乳喂养危机/并发症和重返工作等主题中寻求帮助。在 3 个月到 1 岁之间，答案与补充喂养和断奶有关。当用户的婴儿 1 岁时，母亲会寻求断奶、断奶管理和联合哺乳的支持。
