Examining the Baby Cafe Model and Mothers' Breastfeeding Duration, Meeting of Goals, and Exclusivity

摘要

Objective: Accessible community lactation support impacts a woman's breastfeeding success by offering timely intervention and solutions, thereby allowing mothers to achieve breastfeeding goals and improve overall breastfeeding rates. Although the impact of breastfeeding support has been well established, there is a lack of consistency in the development and evaluation of support models. This report examines two differing populations of Baby Cafe attendees. The study evaluated the mother's achievement of personal and nationally recommended breastfeeding goals, the frequency of attending a Baby Cafe, and their ratings of the program as helpful in solving breastfeeding problems.
