    • Digital Health Interventions

    Background:

    • Exclusive breastfeeding to six months is a global health recommendation.
    • Millennial mothers increasingly utilize social media for support.
    • Social media breastfeeding support groups (SMBSGs) offer a novel avenue for peer support.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify variables influencing sustained, exclusive breastfeeding to six months among millennial mothers.
    • To examine the role of social media breastfeeding support groups (SMBSGs) in this process.

    Main Methods:

    • A longitudinal, mixed-methods design was employed.
    • Data were collected online from 241 millennial mothers across 21 countries.
    • Validated questionnaires assessed demographics, competing demands, social support, and breastfeeding confidence, knowledge, and attitudes.

    Main Results:

    • Personal factors (age, education) and competing demands (work, family) predicted social support.
    • Social support from SMBSGs directly enhanced breastfeeding confidence, knowledge, and attitudes (p < .002).
    • Exclusive breastfeeding rates to six months were 66% in SMBSGs, compared to the U.S. national average of 22%.

    Conclusions:

    • Interventions leveraging SMBSGs can improve maternal confidence, knowledge, and attitudes.
    • SMBSGs show significant potential as effective platforms to increase exclusive breastfeeding rates to six months.
