Summary

Breastfeeding is beneficial for the physical and mental health of mothers and infants alike.

Most new mothers in Denmark intend to breastfeed, however, a substantial proportion do not succeed to breastfeed as intended.

In Region Zealand, few women breastfeed than in the rest of Denmark in which may be related to a higher proportion of women being overweight, having socio-economic constraints and a low educational level, all associated with breastfeeding difficulties. There is limited knowledge on how to deliver a tailored support aimed at families at high risk of breastfeeding difficulties in a high-income country.

We plan to conduct a study aiming to strengthen breastfeeding support to families at risk of breastfeeding difficulties, delivering at Slagelse Hospital, across healthcare sectors, including obstetric and neonatal departments, primary care and civil society.

The study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate a supportive breastfeeding intervention with specific focus on families at high risk of complicated breastfeeding and early breastfeeding cessation - a prospective cohort study in Region Zealand, Denmark.

Potentially, results can help reducing inequality in health thus more families achieve exclusive breastfeeding and gain health benefits from breastfeeding
