Filter by:Early use of oral maxalon can hasten and improve the establishment of breastfeeding in diabetic mothers after preterm and term deliveries. Maxolon promotes breastfeeding by working on the central nervous system which increases the milk producing hormone, prolactin which in turn helps to increase the milk supply for breastfeeding. Successful early breastfeeding establishment is important for continued breastfeeding.
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that providing in-hospital, supervised paraprofessional breastfeeding consultation during the hiatus between hospital discharge and the first postpartum WIC or pediatric visit would increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding among low income Hispanic women at 1 month postpartum.
The aim of this study is to verify whether dietary manipulations in lactating women allow increasing the fat and caloric content of human milk.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether early start of either breastfeeding or breast milk expression may positively affect milk production later in lactation. 120 breastfeeding mothers will be recruited and randomized into 4 groups (2 groups with preterm deliveries) and 2 groups with term deliveries. One group will be given a breast pump to pump early and regularly. the second group will be encouraged to breastfeed in response to baby's cues. Breast milk samples will be collected at the end of a week.
This is a randomised controlled trial to compare antenatal preparation and postnatal counseling strategies for improving breastfeeding rates. The objectives are: 1. to study the effect of a standard two-encounter postnatal lactation counseling protocol on the initiation and maintenance of exclusive breastfeediing in mothers 2. to compare the effect of a standard two-encounter postnatal lactation counseling protocol with a single-encounter antenatal breastfeeding education protocol on the initiation and maintenance of exclusive breastfeeding in mothers.
This randomized controlled trial addresses the impact of simple antenatal breastfeeding educational interventions on breastfeeding rates and practice in a tertiary hospital setting. Hypothesis: A single antenatal encounter, which includes breastfeeding educational material and individual instruction with a lactation counselor, can improve the initiation, duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding compared to routine antenatal care or the use of educational material alone
Hypothesis: Early use of oral metoclopramide can hasten and improve the establishment of lactogenesis II in mothers after preterm and term deliveries. The study hopes to show that metoclopramide can be effective to establish and sustain Lactogenesis II for both preterm and term infants.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if a postnatal public health breastfeeding intervention relying on the importance of the psychosocial factors can prolong the period with exclusive breastfeeding duration among mothers who want to breastfeed.
