Data Synthesis: The positive effect of post-discharge breastfeeding support on increasing the duration of breastfeeding is well documented in the literature.?
Methods: Pre-intervention base-line data obtained via: brief telephone survey conducted with breastfeeding mothers 6 months prior to intervention and data obtained regarding breastfeeding duration and perception of breastfeeding support; telephone survey of local pediatric practices was conducted and breastfeeding initiation and 6 month duration data obtained for babies born in January 2009; WIC breastfeeding data for January-July 2009 obtained. Intervention: first-time breastfeeding mothers meeting the eligibility criteria, self-selected by completing the enrollment form [N= 34]; telephone support included weekly calls for three months, then monthly calls for three months, or until the mother weaned.
