Maternal Breastfeeding Technique and Early Breastfeeding Problems as Predictors of Exclusive Breastfeeding Duration in the Neonatal Period

Key Points

To assess how maternal breastfeeding techniques and early problems predict the duration of exclusive breastfeeding during the neonatal period.
Analyzed breastfeeding techniques and related problems in mothers during the neonatal period.
Utilized structured tools like the Breastfeeding Observation Aid for evaluations.
Identified at-risk dyads based on early breastfeeding difficulties.
Significant association found between breastfeeding issues and reduced exclusive breastfeeding duration.
Use of structured tools may enhance early intervention and support for at-risk dyads.

Abstract

Difficulties in breastfeeding techniques and breast-related problems were significantly associated with a shorter EBF duration in the first month. Structured tools such as the Breastfeeding Observation Aid may support the early identification of at-risk dyads and improve EBF outcomes during the neonatal period.
