Abstract
Aim. To evaluate the implementation of the modern breastfeeding support principles into the practice of the maternity hospitals in Moscow.
Design. Observational cohort study.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of two maternity hospitals in Moscow. With the help of a questionnaire specially developed by us, an anonymous survey of maternity patients was conducted at the time of discharge. A total of 614 mothers were interviewed from October 2020 to July 2021.
Results. In general, the clinical practice of breastfeeding support in the maternity hospitals has demonstrated its stability and compliance with the criteria recommended by WHO for monitoring the main clinical practices. The rate of exclusive breastfeeding at the time of discharge from the hospital was 83.9%. The majority of mothers were satisfied with the breastfeeding support provided to them (90.9%). Mothers highly appreciated the work of lactation consultants introduced into the staffing of hospitals. Nevertheless, shortcomings were also identified in the implemented practice of breastfeeding support that requires improvement.
Conclusion. The introduction of modern practice of breastfeeding support in maternity hospitals contributes to an increase in the level of breastfeeding among maternity hospitals, including exclusively breastfeeding from birth. To achieve the sustainability of this practice, it is necessary administration support, training of the medical staff, including lactation consultants, and monitoring of the breastfeeding practice.
