“…Mothers described individual (e.g., determination, self-efficacy for BF) and interpersonal (e.g., social support) coping resources as facilitators of BF maintenance [33,34,53,73]. Social support, "particularly enlisting a female relative, friend, or partner was important for BF continuation" [39,53,56,72,79,80], and one study [81] identified social media as a maternally perceived facilitator of BF duration and maternal support.…”

“…A need for strategies and support that "address parent's personal, cultural, and ideological constraints with infant feeding" were identified within several studies [33,51,56,67,74]. Additionally, a desire for expanded infant nutrition education that included parent's wider community such as family members, rather than only mothers, was identified within some studies [67,79,80,105]. Role models and support groups were noted as important by parents, but perceived as inadequate [38,72,103].…”

A growing, global conversation, regarding realities and challenges that parents experience today is ever-present. To understand recent parent’s attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions regarding infant feeding, we sought to systematically identify and synthesize original qualitative research findings. Following the Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research (ENTREQ) framework, electronic databases were searched with a priori terms applied to title/abstract fields and limited to studies published in English from 2015 to 2019, inclusive. Study quality assessment was conducted using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist, and thematic analyses performed. Of 73 studies meeting inclusion criteria, four major themes emerged. (1) Breastfeeding is best for an infant; (2) Distinct attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions of mothers that breastfeed, and those that could not or chose not to breastfeed, are evident; (3) Infant feeding behaviors are influenced by the socio-cultural environment of the family, and (4) Parent’s expectations of education and support addressing personal infant feeding choices from health care providers are not always met. This systematic review, guided by constructs within behavioral models and theories, provides updated findings to help inform the development of nutrition education curricula and public policy programs. Results can be applied within scale-up nutrition and behavioral education interventions that support parents during infant feeding.

“…Accreditation has led to numerous benefits for both families and employers, demonstrating the value of workplace standards and policies in achieving high-level support for women in the workplace (Eldridge & Croker, 2005). Although the barriers that exist for women who intend to breastfeed upon return to work have been documented globally (Cooklin, Donath, & Ami, 2008;Desmond & Meaney, 2016;Omer-Salim, Suri, Dadhich, Faridi, & Olsson, 2015), there exists a paucity of research exploring mothers' experience breastfeeding while enrolled as a student on a university campus. Parental leave in Canada is currently 52 weeks and includes 17 weeks of maternal leave for the mother and 35 weeks of parental leave, which may be taken by either parent (Government of Canada, 2016).…”

Student breastfeeding mothers are faced with emotional and physical challenges upon their return to school. Lack of space to breastfeed or pump as well as lack of support on campus are the main reasons that students stop breastfeeding prematurely. A day care facility on campus that accepts young infants, a Baby-Friendly space, and enhanced education are required to support student mothers in their choice to breastfeed.

“…Study has shown that the main factors that hinder breastfeeding include maternal factors, social factors and work-related factors [ 13 ]. For example, giving birth by cesarean delivery [ 14 ], receiving a recommendation from health workers to formula-feed [ 14 ], without social support from husband and other relative [ 15 ], lack of empathy from female colleagues, uncaring attitudes to breastfeeding, discouragement and criticism from employers and colleagues, difficulty extending maternal leave [ 15 , 16 ] negatively affect breastfeeding. Lack of knowledge is one of the most important barriers of breastfeeding [ 17 ].…”

Background Studies reveal that promoting the breastfeeding knowledge level help to improve breastfeeding behaviors. Promoting breastfeeding knowledge is a simple and economical way to increase breastfeeding rates. However, there are no studies focus on the level of breastfeeding knowledge and factors influencing the knowledge in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which is defined as any degree of glucose tolerance impairment first diagnosed during pregnancy. Thus, the objectives of this study were to investigate the breastfeeding knowledge level of GDM pregnant women and explore factors influencing the knowledge level. Methods Cross-sectional survey and convenience sampling were conducted in this study. The sociodemographic characteristics, caregivers in pregnancy, knowledge source, breastfeeding status and breast status information of participants were collected. Breastfeeding Knowledge Scale was used to assess the breastfeeding knowledge level of pregnant women with GDM. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influence factors of breastfeeding knowledge level in this study. Results A total of 226 questionnaires were issued and finally 212 valid questionnaires were collected. Some misconceptions still existed (e.g. ‘breastfeeding cannot prevent your baby from being overweight’ and ‘it is advisable to breastfeed 3-4 times per day within 2-3 days after delivery’), although women with GDM had a good score of breastfeeding knowledge (mean score: 103.5 ± 10.4). Multiple linear regression analysis found that gestational age, family per capita monthly income, educational level, knowledge source were the independent protective factors for breastfeeding knowledge and minority nationality was the independent risk factor. The educational level had the greatest influence on the breastfeeding knowledge level of GDM pregnant women (β = 0.210, t = 2.978, P = 0.003). Conclusion GDM pregnant women with insufficient gestational age, low educational level, low family per capita monthly income and single access to knowledge should be included in the focus of health education on breastfeeding. In-depth and systematic health education should be conducted for pregnant women with GDM to improve their breastfeeding rate.
