Breastfeeding Support: Measuring the level of comfort during and after delivery

Abstract

"Beginning research has been conducted to gage the level of trauma-informed care shown by hospital staff related to breastfeeding mothers. A brief survey was administered to better understand the support given to mothers by hospital staff when deciding to breastfeed. These results will assist social workers in advocating for more trauma- informed approaches within the OBGYN practice to promote a healthier, more positive environment for the patient during and after delivery."
