- Abstract
Purpose: Assess the quality and effectiveness of breastfeeding support in hospitals, and mothers’ satisfaction with the support they receive. Examine the relationship between the support provided by healthcare professionals and the success of breastfeeding and formula feeding. Methods: The study was conducted using an internet-based, self-completed survey. 264 mothers took part in the research, who had given birth in Hungarian hospitals, from different parts of the country. Results: Based on the mothers’ experiences, the quality of breastfeeding support provided in hospitals is often inadequate and many cases mothers receive no help at all or not receive inadequate support to initiate breastfeeding. This can have a number of negative consequences, as insufficient support can contribute to premature cessation of breastfeeding and to the use of infant formula. Conclusions: Providing appropriate professional support in the postpartum period is essential for the healthy development of children, therefore improvements and changes are needed in the field of hospital breastfeeding support.
