“…Similarly, most mothers in rural and urban Cameroon ranked Doctors and nurses as the most important source of advice with the greatest impact on their BF decision (Lem, 2015). Also, previous research by Castro et al (2015) and Taveras et al (2004) also showed that mothers often identify BF promotion interventions given by healthcare professionals as the single most important intervention that could have been offered to help them breastfeed. More so, Nguyen et al (2018) investigated the factors that influenced the mothers' BF decision in Da Nang, Viet Nam, and found that health professionals were the most influential, followed by close family members.…”

The aim of this study was to assess maternal breastfeeding practices of children aged 0 to 24 months in Momo Division. It was also to identify the maternal sources of breastfeeding information and determine their impact on maternal breastfeeding decision in this division. Structured interviewer questionnaires were administered to 540 mothers. Among the 540 children included in the study, 77% of them received no prelacteal foods. Despite the fact that 47% of mothers initiated breastfeeding early, only 38% exclusively breastfed their infants for 6 months. Complementary feeding was introduced before the age of 6 months (59.5%). Few infants (2.4%) received complementary feeding later than 6 months. Only 3.1% of the children were breastfed up to two years or beyond. The most common source of breastfeeding information for the mothers is from the family, friends, and neighbors but information from healthcare professionals had the most influential effect on maternal breastfeeding decision. Although a few mothers in Momo Division followed the recommended breastfeeding practices, the breastfeeding practices in this division are generally suboptimal.

“…Professional support was a positive determining factor for the decision, establishment, and maintenance of breastfeeding 14,15 . This professional support is represented in the study by nurses, and it is evident through the analysis of the narratives that they accompany the woman throughout the pregnancy-puerperal cycle 16,17 .…”

Introduction: Breast milk is extremely important for maternal and child health bringing indisputable benefits to mother, family and society. Health professionals, including nurses, play a key role in promoting and supporting breastfeeding with all their technical-scientific knowledge and proximity to the population. Aims: Understand the mothers' perspective regarding the contribution of health professionals to the success of breastfeeding. Methodology: Qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 women from a Family Health Unit in a Primary care setting who were mothers between December 2016 and December 2017. A content analysis of the data was performed with the support of web-based data analysis (webQDA) software. Results: The intervention of the family nurse in the context of pregnancy surveillance and child health consultations is distinguished, as well as in home visitation. The intervention of midwives in pre-natal courses and post-natal breastfeeding consultations also demonstrated to be relevant for breastfeeding success. Conclusion: As recommended by the World Health Organization and United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, an effort is being made by health professionals, including nurses and midwives, for support of mothers and families in the decision, establishment and maintenance of the breastfeeding process, contributing positively to its success and establishing a follow-up to woman and family throughout the pregnancy-puerperal cycle.
