ABSTRACT Breastfeeding rates in the UK remain persistently low, with a rapid fall off during the first 6–8 weeks. The work of healthcare and public health practitioners impacts on mothers’ experiences of infant feeding. Support, promotion and protection of breastfeeding are a national priority. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were undertaken with mothers who had experience of breastfeeding. Participants were engaged with a local Children’s Centre (indicating engagement with public health provision) and their babies were up to 6-month old (to increase recall of early experiences). Twenty-four participants were recruited and interviews thematically analysed. Mothers identified matters significant in relation to public health provision for breastfeeding, including three stages of time of significance for breastfeeding impact. These interlinked critical stages impact on a mother’s experiences. Joined up public health practice providing breastfeeding support and information before birth, around the time of the birth, and once home is significant in mother’s accounts. Breastfeeding support, in both healthcare and public health contexts, needs to be highly attuned to different stages in the experiences of mothers. Breastfeeding continuation is influenced by support experienced antenatally, perinatally, and in early weeks. To enhance the initiation and retention of breastfeeding, public health practice must pay attention to these stages. Breastfeeding support needs to begin prior to birth and be given throughout the postnatal period and beyond.

母乳喂养支持的重要时期:对母亲经历的定性研究

摘要 英国的母乳喂养率持续较低,在前 6-8 周迅速下降。医疗保健和公共卫生从业人员的工作会影响母亲对婴儿喂养的体验。支持、促进和保护母乳喂养是国家优先事项。对有母乳喂养经验的母亲进行了半结构化的定性访谈。参与者与当地儿童中心合作(表明参与公共卫生提供),他们的婴儿最多 6 个月大(以增加对早期经历的回忆)。招募了 24 名参与者,并对访谈进行了专题分析。母亲确定了与母乳喂养公共卫生提供相关的重要事项,包括母乳喂养影响的三个重要时间阶段。这些相互关联的关键阶段会影响母亲的经历。加入公共卫生实践,在出生前、出生前后以及家庭在母亲的账户中占有重要地位时提供母乳喂养支持和信息。在医疗保健和公共卫生环境中,母乳喂养支持需要高度适应母亲经历的不同阶段。继续母乳喂养受到产前、围产期和早期几周的支持的影响。为了加强母乳喂养的开始和保持,公共卫生实践必须关注这些阶段。母乳喂养支持需要在出生前开始,并在整个产后时期及以后提供。加入公共卫生实践,在出生前、出生前后以及家庭在母亲的账户中占有重要地位时提供母乳喂养支持和信息。在医疗保健和公共卫生环境中,母乳喂养支持需要高度适应母亲经历的不同阶段。继续母乳喂养受到产前、围产期和早期几周的支持的影响。为了加强母乳喂养的开始和保持,公共卫生实践必须关注这些阶段。母乳喂养支持需要在出生前开始,并在整个产后时期及以后提供。加入公共卫生实践,在出生前、出生前后以及家庭在母亲的账户中占有重要地位时提供母乳喂养支持和信息。在医疗保健和公共卫生环境中,母乳喂养支持需要高度适应母亲经历的不同阶段。继续母乳喂养受到产前、围产期和早期几周的支持的影响。为了加强母乳喂养的开始和保持,公共卫生实践必须关注这些阶段。母乳喂养支持需要在出生前开始,并在整个产后时期及以后提供。需要高度适应母亲经历的不同阶段。继续母乳喂养受到产前、围产期和早期几周的支持的影响。为了加强母乳喂养的开始和保持,公共卫生实践必须关注这些阶段。母乳喂养支持需要在出生前开始,并在整个产后时期及以后提供。需要高度适应母亲经历的不同阶段。继续母乳喂养受到产前、围产期和早期几周的支持的影响。为了加强母乳喂养的开始和保持,公共卫生实践必须关注这些阶段。母乳喂养支持需要在出生前开始,并在整个产后时期及以后提供。
