Summary

A feasibility study is proposed in the current study as women who had given birth to their first babies recruited to a previous project specifically expressed the need for postnatal breastfeeding support from peer counsellors at home and there is evidence that this could be of benefit for women and their infants. Evidence of whether women in Hong Kong who had peer counsellors have better breastfeeding outcomes compared to women who had standard care however is not available. Prior to undertaking a definitive trial, the investigators need to know if women would be willing to be recruited and randomised to an intervention or standard care.
