To explore what Internet-based breastfeeding peer support offers to breastfeeding parents.
Integrative review.
A systematic literature search was conducted in March 2024 using the following electronic databases: CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, PubMed/MEDLINE and PsycINFO. Database searches yielded 717 results. Two researchers removed the duplicates (n = 256) and screened the remaining titles (n = 461), abstracts (n = 197) and full texts (n = 60) independently. Eventually, 19 studies were included in the review. The chosen studies had qualitative (n = 11), quantitative (n = 6), or mixed methods designs (n = 2) and were published between 2015 and 2024. Qualitative content analysis was conducted.
The main categories were supplying support that is responsive to the needs of parents and belonging to a breastfeeding community. The parents looked for and received breastfeeding support, advice, information, emotional support, reassurance and access to shared experiences from various online breastfeeding peer support groups. The support groups helped them in their breastfeeding decisions, thus making a difference in their breastfeeding experience. The support groups created breastfeeding communities for these parents and they were able to bond with others, feel like they belonged and share experiences. Additionally, these breastfeeding communities helped to normalize various breastfeeding practices.
Breastfeeding peer support groups can offer parents the support and guidance they seek and a sense that they are part of a breastfeeding community. However, it is vital these groups are efficiently moderated to ensure the advice parents receive is evidence-based and the support is encouraging.
These findings show that well-moderated online breastfeeding peer support can offer parents high-quality support. It is essential for health care professionals to be aware of the various options available in order to recommend high-quality support groups for breastfeeding parents.

探索基于互联网的母乳喂养同伴支持能为母乳喂养的父母提供什么。
综合回顾。
2024 年 3 月，使用以下电子数据库进行了系统的文献检索：CINAHL、Cochrane 图书馆、PubMed/MEDLINE 和 PsycINFO。数据库检索产生了 717 个结果。两名研究人员剔除了重复项（n=256），并独立筛选了剩余的标题（n=461）、摘要（n=197）和全文（n=60）。最终，有 19 项研究纳入了综述。所选研究具有定性（n=11）、定量（n=6）或混合方法设计（n=2），发表时间为 2015 年至 2024 年。进行了定性内容分析。
主要类别为提供响应父母需求的支持和属于母乳喂养社区。父母从各种在线母乳喂养同伴支持小组中寻找和获得母乳喂养支持、建议、信息、情感支持、安心和分享共同经历。这些支持小组帮助他们做出母乳喂养决策，从而对他们的母乳喂养体验产生影响。这些支持小组为这些父母创建了母乳喂养社区，他们能够与他人建立联系，感到自己属于这个社区并分享经验。此外，这些母乳喂养社区有助于使各种母乳喂养实践正常化。
母乳喂养同伴支持小组可以为父母提供他们所寻求的支持和指导，以及他们属于母乳喂养社区的感觉。然而，至关重要的是，这些小组必须得到有效管理，以确保父母获得的建议是基于证据的，并且支持是鼓励性的。
这些发现表明，经过良好管理的在线母乳喂养同伴支持可以为父母提供高质量的支持。医疗保健专业人员必须了解各种可用的选择，以便为母乳喂养的父母推荐高质量的支持小组。
