“…Scott et al, 2001), early breastfeeding practices (Cernadas et al, 2003;DiGirolamo, Thompson, Martoel, Faden, & Grummer-Strawn, 2005; J. Scott et al, 2001) and perceived milk supply (Cooke, Sheehan, & Schmied, 2003;Dennis, 2002a;Noel-Weiss, Bassett, & Cragg, 2006) have been demonstrated to influence the initiation and duration of breastfeeding. The women"s birth experiences impacts upon their breastfeeding behaviours; particularly the successful initiation of breastfeeding.…”

“…Compared with having a single intervention strategy, combining multiple intervention strategies is more effective in enhancing the duration of breastfeeding (De Oliveria et al, 2001;Hector et al, 2004a;Mattar et al, 2007;McCormick, 2006;Miracle et al, 2004;Noel-Weiss et al, 2006;Preventive services Task Force, 2003;Ryser, 2004;J.

“…Also deemed important was cooperative learning, such as discussing their fears and concerns of being a mother and a father. Adult learners have life experience and prior knowledge, so their learning needs to be relevant and goal oriented (Brookfield, 1996;Noel-Weiss, Bassett, & Cragg, 2006).…”

Antenatal education is a crucial component of antenatal care, yet practice and research demonstrate that women and men now seek far more than the traditional approach of a birth and parenting program attended in the final weeks of pregnancy. Indeed, women and men participating in this study recommended a range of strategies to be provided during the childbearing year, comparable to a ''menu in a restaurant.''

“…Furthermore, Dennis (22,23) claims that women with high breastfeeding self-efficacy will be able to control their anxiety and emotional disturbances to stay calm and respond appropriately when they need extra support. Research supports that an individual's behaviour or task performance can be influenced by their self-efficacy (20,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36). In a randomised controlled trial of 889 Australian women, Forster, McLachlan, and Lumley (37) found a significant relationship between high breastfeeding self-efficacy scores and duration of breastfeeding at four months (λ 2 = 14.89, p <.001).…”

“…Dennis (23) recommended strategies to improve women's breastfeeding self-efficacy. Some studies have used these strategies and demonstrated success in increasing woman's sense of self-efficacy; however, none of those studies were effective in promoting prolonged breastfeeding (30,32,(34)(35)(36)38).…”

. (2015). Supporting women to achieve breastfeeding to six months postpartum -The theoretical foundations of a successful program. Women and Birth, 28 (4), 265-271. Supporting women to achieve breastfeeding to six months postpartumThe theoretical foundations of a successful program AbstractBackground Although the benefits of breastfeeding to six months are well-established, only about half of Australian women succeed. The factors associated with successful breastfeeding are rarely translated into effective interventions. A new educational and support program, called the Milky Way program has been demonstrated to be effective in supporting women to achieve prolonged breastfeeding. In the Milky Way program, breastfeeding is considered an embodied performance which requires an engaged combination of body, mind and spirit. This paper aims to explain how the two theories that informed the program were used to better enable women's long term breastfeeding success. Method The theory of self-efficacy is first described as a way to develop women's cognitive processes to organise and execute the course of actions to breastfeed for a longer period of time. Birth territory theory is then presented. This theory discusses women as embodied selves; an essential concept for breastfeeding success. Birth territory theory also describes the effects of the holistic environment on the woman and explores the effects of power that is used in the environment. This power can be used integratively to strengthen the woman's breastfeeding confidence and success or, disintergratively which reduces her confidence and undermines her success. Conclusion Strategies based on self-efficacy theory are helpful, but are not sufficient to promote breastfeeding to six months. Health educators also need to foster the woman's connection to, and trust in, her body and her baby's body to breastfeed spontaneously. Being aware of environmental impacts on how the woman and baby breastfeed; and using one's own power integratively is crucial to women being able to achieve prolonged breastfeeding.
