Cross-sectional study shows improved breastfeeding initiation and exclusivity in women receiving postpartum counseling, indicating better maternal knowledge and satisfaction.

Key Points

Early postpartum counseling improves breastfeeding initiation rates, leading to 86% success in counseled women compared to 52% without counseling.
Exclusive breastfeeding at six weeks was significantly higher at 76% for the counseled group, compared to only 44% in those who received routine care.
This cross-sectional study evaluated maternal knowledge and satisfaction, revealing a substantial increase in scores for those who received early counseling.
Implementing structured counseling in postpartum care may help address breastfeeding barriers and improve infant health outcomes.
