Area of Science:

  • Maternal and Child Health
  • Lactation Biology
  • Public Health Interventions

Background:

  • Lactation failure affects a significant percentage of mothers, impacting infant nutrition and maternal well-being.
  • Disadvantaged socioeconomic groups exhibit a higher frequency of lactation failure.
  • Factors like previous lactation issues, family support, and work status influence breastfeeding success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify common problems hindering maternal lactation.
  • To develop and evaluate an intervention aimed at promoting sustained breastfeeding.
  • To compare the effectiveness of the intervention against standard care.

Main Methods:

  • A survey of 202 mothers was conducted to identify lactation challenges.
  • An intervention plan was designed and implemented to foster positive attitudes towards breastfeeding.
  • A comparative study followed 70.2% of mothers in the intervention group and 39.5% in the control group at three months.

Main Results:

  • Initial lactation success was high (91.5%), but 30.7% failed by one month.
  • Lactation failure correlated with lower income status.
  • The intervention group showed significantly higher sustained breastfeeding rates at three months (70.2% vs. 39.5%) and four months (55% vs. 30.2%) compared to the control group.

Conclusions:

  • Identifying and addressing specific barriers is crucial for promoting maternal lactation.
  • The developed intervention effectively improved the duration and success of breastfeeding.
  • Public health strategies should consider socioeconomic factors and provide targeted support for breastfeeding mothers.
