- W2804305087 abstract "Introduction. There is strong evidence demonstrating that human breastmilk provides complete nutrition for humaninfants. While the rate of initiation of breastfeeding in the UK has increased steadily over the last 25 years, rates of exclusivebreastfeeding in the early weeks and months over the same time period have shown only marginal increases.Method. An interpretive phenomenological approach informed by the philosophy of Martin Heidegger was adopted. The aimwas to understand women’s experience of breastfeeding. Women were recruited from one city in the East Midlands in the UK,where the prevalence of breastfeeding is decreasing. Potential participants were recruited via health visitors at the primary birthvisit. Ethical approval was received from the university and NHS research ethics committees. Data were collected between threeand six months after the birth of their youngest child and analysis was guided by interpretive phenomenological principles.Findings. The women were found to be ill-prepared for the realities of breastfeeding and, for most women, the shock of thisexperience was overwhelming. In particular there was a lack of understanding and preparation for common problems and alack of awareness of newborn behaviour. Misunderstandings of newborn behaviour resulted in the women blaming infantfeedingbehaviours, such as crying, wakeful states and cluster feeding, on the specific method of infant-feeding. Frequentfeeding cues were overwhelming and the women felt overawed by the sense of responsibility. It also led them to question theirability to provide an adequate milk supply.Discussion. The extent to which inadequate preparation for breastfeeding had a negative impact on the breastfeedingexperiences of women in this study was a surprise. Antenatal education should focus more on preparing women for therealities. Education and support for breastfeeding women need to encompass infant-feeding cues and infant behaviours." @default.
