Summary

The Breastfeeding - a Good Start Together intervention study aims to increase the proportion of women who breastfeed for four and six months, and proportionately more in a group of women who are in risk of early breastfeeding cessation; and thus reduce social inequality of mother and infant health.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Breastfeeding support

The core of the intervention is a trustful relation between the health visitor and the families based on principles of needs based communication. Health visitors will enhance parents' action competence based on breastfeeding self-efficacy, focusing on parents' wishes and needs. The breastfeeding support includes four main messages: joint parenting task, skin-to-skin contact, frequent breastfeeding, and good positioning. Training of health visitors includes e-learning and a two-day course with physical attendance. Supportive materials are developed including communicative support tools and a web-page providing support and knowledge when the health visitor is off hours. All families in intervention sites accepting the health visitor program will receive the improved breastfeeding support. Families in the high-risk group are offered an intensified intervention with close follow-up by telephone in planned time-intervals, thus a higher dose of the intervention.
