No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Evaluating newborn positioning and attachment is a key skill for maternal-child healthcare providers. Trainees have limited opportunities to practice this skill in their clinical rotations due to a lack of access to lactating patients. Thus, positioning and attachment training is traditionally conducted through passive modalities, primarily videos.

Investigators aim to evaluate the impact of an interactive breastfeeding skills workshop using a baby doll on health professional learners' ability to identify effective and ineffective positioning and attachment at the breast.
