Nine studies were included in this review [35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43]. Of these, eight studies were conducted in the USA [35,36,37,38,39, 41,42,43] and one in Chile . Seven studies were RCTs [36,37,38,39, 41,42,43] and two were of a quasi-experimental study design [35, 40]. The publication dates ranged between 1992 and 2017. The studies had relati...
Peer counselling refers to support provided by a non-professional person from the community who has personal experience breastfeeding and a willingness to support others. Five studies included a peer counselling component [35, 37,38,39, 42]. Arlotti et al. conducted a quasi-experimental study which included postnatal support from a peer counsellor...
Five studies included a telephone support component [35, 36, 38, 39, 42]. Only one study by Bunik et al. used telephone support as its sole strategy and this support was delivered via a nurse (i.e., professional support). Four studies had a combination of telephone and peer counselling [35, 38, 39, 42] and two of these also included professional s...

These five studies included telephone support, peer counselling, massage, prenatal education, and financial incentives. Three studies reported a positive effect [35, 38, 41]...
The seven studies with an RCT design demonstrated a low risk of bias for random sequence generation [36,37,38,39, 41,42,43] and five of these were also deemed to have a low risk of bias for allocation concealment (Fig. 2) [36,37,38,39, 43]. The two studies with a quasi-experimental design did not randomize their participants and therefore, had a po...
Between two and four studies were included in the meta-analyses, based on reporting of EBF outcomes, common time points and dichotomous data [35, 37, 39, 42]. The χ2 test and the I2statistic for each analysis demonstrated sufficient homogeneity to combine the studies. Two studies, both involving peer counselling, provided data for the 1-month analy...

2020年7月13日 · 8 Citations. 6 Altmetric. Metrics. Abstract. Background. While exclusive breastfeeding is recommended to 6 months of age, just 15% of mothers in Australia achieve this. The rate appears to be even lower among mothers born in China, where 90% have introduced infant formula by this time.
A meta-analysis of four of nine included studies did not detect a difference in rate of exclusive breastfeeding to 3 months postpartum (RR 1.44; 95% CI 0.82, 2.55; p=0.204). This review is limited by the relatively few studies which met the inclusion criteria and the small sample sizes of
