To assess the current knowledge, attitudes and practices of Paediatricians and Obstetricians in the greater Johannesburg area, using WHO/UNICEF 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding as a guideline.
Survey.
All Paediatricians and Obstetricians registered with the SAMDC and practising in the greater Johannesburg area.
Most Paediatricians and Obstetricians advocate breastfeeding, but very few conform adequately to recommended guidelines.
Doctors, as part of the healthcare team, can have a significant impact on the successful initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding. There is a need for ongoing education and intervention programmes to update current knowledge on breastfeeding management.
