Filter by:The impact of Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) to breastfeeding, breastfeeding counselling and breastfeeding attitudes will be examined in Satakunta Central Hospital, Finland. The baseline measurement will be conducted before the implementation of BFHI in 2017 and second measurement will be conducted in 2019 after the certification process. Both staff members and breastfeeding mothers will be recruited in the study. The main outcomes are the duration of breastfeeding and breastfeeding attitudes.
The benefits of breastfeeding are increasingly known of the population and breastfeeding rates in the country have been increasing, but still are below satisfactory to the Ministry of Health (MH) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Simple Strategies to guide and support the mother contributes to increasing knowledge about breastfeeding and can have positive impacts on breastfeeding rates.
This intervention would be a series of self-help-style educational and motivational activity sheets for patients to complete independently. This will be a randomized clinical control trial. Subjects will complete a pre delivery questionnaire and a postpartum questionnaire. Subjects in the intervention arm will complete 3 activity sheets prenatally during their wait time at the clinic. The first worksheet can be completed the day of recruitment after consent is signed. Subjects will be contacted by phone at 3 and 6 months postpartum to assess long term duration of breast feeding.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the breastfeeding support program utilizing bilingual English-Spanish tailored text messages and online support to support exclusive and continuous breastfeeding for new mothers--comparing texting alone, texting with an online support group to those with usual care. The cost involved in moderating the online groups and providing bidirectional consultation when needed will be evaluated and qualitative feedback from a subset of mothers in both intervention groups will be evaluated to determine what was effective, as well as suggestions for improvement of the messaging program.
A previously published study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27641715) identified breastfeeding improvements following lingual frenotomy and/or maxillary labial frenectomy. In the previous cohort, babies were excluded from the study if they had previously undergone an attempted frenotomy prior to seeing the P.I. in the office. The proposed study will only look at those babies who did undergo a previous frenotomy to determine: 1. the presence of continued problematic breastfeeding symptoms 2. if further tongue tie or lip tie release improves those outcomes
The purpose of this pilot study is to compare parent and infant outcomes and unit outcomes pre and post a planned unit-wide intervention aimed at increasing parent presence in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The FCC intervention will consist of communicating an expectation that all NICU parents be present at minimum 4 hours/day versus the current practice of telling families to "come as much as they can" that has resulted in inconsistent parent presence.
With appropriate day-time carbohydrate intake and insulin dose, the 24 hour glucose levels and prevalence of night-time hypoglycaemia are comparable in breastfeeding new mothers and formula feeding new mothers with type 1 diabetes at the second after delivery diabetes control compared with the first after delivery diabetes control at Steno Diabetes Center.
The goal of the study is to investigate the effect of a lifestyle intervention program (adoption of exclusive breastfeeding, healthy diet and regular physical activity) on minimizing postpartum weight retention among women with recent GDM.
The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to generate data on the impact of direct-to-consumer "telelactation" (virtual breastfeeding support) services. We will explore the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of these services. Postpartum mothers age 18 and older who have initiated breastfeeding will be recruited at a critical access hospital without access to IBCLCs in rural Pennsylvania and randomized into two study arms: 1) outpatient telelactation services via video calls on personal devices or 2) usual care. Data on breastfeeding duration and exclusivity, as well as perceptions and satisfaction with breastfeeding, will be captured via surveys and in-depth interviews and compared across groups.
The investigators goal is to measure the impact of timing of postpartum contraceptive implant insertion on breastfeeding success and duration and to explore women's experiences with and attitudes towards contraceptive and breastfeeding counseling in the peripartum time period
