Improving lactation support for Hispanic parents requires better communication and resources. This study highlights needs for enhanced clinician training, interpretation services, and supportive hospital practices to promote human milk-feeding.

Area of Science:

  • Maternal and Child Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Exclusive human milk (EHM) feeding is recommended for infants under six months, yet many US infants do not meet this goal.
  • Disparities in EHM feeding exist, particularly affecting Hispanic/Latino parents.
  • Understanding parent experiences is crucial for improving lactation support and addressing health inequities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore Hispanic birthing parents' experiences with human milk-feeding and lactation support.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators during post-birth hospital recovery.
  • To inform quality improvement initiatives for enhanced perinatal care.

Main Methods:

  • Triangulated data from 37 interviews and in-hospital observations.
