Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore whether combining the first post-hospital newborn provider visit and lactation consultation into a single appointment can enhance rates of successful breastfeeding initiation and continuation at predefined intervals (e.g., one week, one month, two months, three months, four months, six months, and 12 months postpartum).

Detailed description

This interventional, comparative effectiveness study investigates the impact of integrating the first newborn outpatient provider and lactation consultant visits, potentially reducing appointments for new mothers while ensuring early lactation support. The outcomes, including breastfeeding continuation rates and maternal satisfaction, will be measured against the conventional separate visit model. The ultimate goal is to prolong breastfeeding duration, enhance care quality, improve efficiency, and enrich patient experience.
