Key Points

To assess the effect of specialized breastfeeding support on exclusive breastfeeding rates at discharge from neonatal units.
Conducted a retrospective observational cohort study in a Spanish neonatal unit.
Compared pre-intervention (April 2017–March 2019) and post-intervention (April 2019–March 2021) periods.
Analyzed exclusive breastfeeding rates at discharge using descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression.
Exclusive breastfeeding at discharge increased from 39.6% to 75.8% (p < 0.001).
Post-intervention period showed an odds ratio of 4.45 for exclusive breastfeeding.
Factors positively associated with exclusive breastfeeding included participation in workshops and adequate milk expression frequency.
