An evaluation of preterm breastfeeding information and support

The Bliss preterm breastfeeding leaflet is currently available to mothers on units in the Shropshire, Staffordshire and Black Country Newborn Network. A study was performed to examine the impact of the leaflet on common problems mothers face in initiating and sustaining milk production and breastfeeding following preterm delivery. In addition, mothers were asked to evaluate local breastfeeding interventions, information and support.
