Overview

Prospective cohort study explores the links between breastfeeding self-efficacy and milk output in preterm mothers, highlighting social and prenatal factors influencing success.

Key Points

  • Higher breastfeeding self-efficacy is linked to increased milk output in preterm mothers, with a 6.28–6.85 mL increase per BSE point.
  • Social support, prenatal breastfeeding plans, and lactation knowledge positively influence breastfeeding self-efficacy outcomes.
  • Pregnancy complications and breastfeeding difficulties are significant barriers to breastfeeding self-efficacy in mothers of preterm infants.
  • Suboptimal breastfeeding self-efficacy scores indicate a need for targeted support and education for preterm mothers in the postpartum period.
