RESUMO

Introdução: A segurança e eficácia do uso de medicamentos durante a lactação são preocupações para mães e profissionais de saúde. Esta pesquisa analisa as orientações das bulas de medicamentos comumente prescritos para dispepsia e constipação, que visa fornecer informações essenciais para orientar as decisões terapêuticas durante esse período crucial da maternidade. Objetivos: Analisar as informações das bulas sobre contraindicações de medicamentos para dispepsia e constipação durante a amamentação, verificando se estão de acordo com as evidências científicas. Métodos: Medicamentos para dispepsia e constipação foram selecionados de acordo com a classificação da Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) e o registro ativo no Brasil. A presença de contraindicações para o uso de medicamentos nas bulas do profissional de saúde e do paciente foi comparada com as informações contidas no manual técnico do Ministério da Saúde, Medicamentos e Leite Materno, LactMed, UptoDate, Micromedex, Documento Científico da Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria e Reprotox. Resultados: Nenhuma informação sobre o uso durante a amamentação foi encontrada em 20,0 e 24,3% das bulas para dispepsia e constipação, respectivamente. A concordância entre as bulas dos medicamentos para dispepsia e as fontes consultadas foi baixa (27,2% das bulas contraindicavam o medicamento na lactação, enquanto nas fontes o percentual de contraindicação variou de 0 a 8,3%). Com relação a medicamentos para constipação, 26,3% das bulas os contraindicavam, enquanto nas fontes o percentual variou de 0 a 4,8%. Conclusões: O estudo mostrou que pelo menos duas em cada dez bulas para dispepsia e constipação não fornecem informações adequadas sobre o uso desses medicamentos em lactentes, e também que houve baixa concordância entre o texto das bulas e as fontes de referência quanto à compatibilidade do medicamento com a amamentação.


Introduction: The safety and effectiveness of medication use during lactation are concerns for mothers and healthcare professionals. This research analyzes the instructions on the leaflets of medications commonly prescribed for dyspepsia and constipation, which aims to provide essential information to guide therapeutic decisions during this crucial period of motherhood. Objectives: To analyze the information in package inserts about contraindications of drugs for dyspepsia and constipation during breastfeeding, verifying whether these are consistent with scientific evidence. Methods: Drugs for dyspepsia and constipation were selected according to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification and active registry in Brazil. The presence of contraindications for the use of medications in the health professional's and patient's package inserts was compared with the information in the technical manual of the Ministry of Health, Medications and Mothers' Milk, LactMed, UptoDate, Micromedex, Documento Científico da Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria and Reprotox. Results: No information about use during breastfeeding was found in 20.0 and 24.3% of leaflets for dyspepsia and constipation, respectively. The agreement between the leaflets of medications for dyspepsia and the sources consulted was low (27.2% of the leaflets contraindicated the medication during lactation, while in the sources the percentage of contraindication varied from 0 to 8.3%). In relation to medicines for constipation, 26.3% of the leaflets contraindicated them, while in the sources the percentage ranged from 0 to 4.8%. Conclusions: The study pointed out that at least two out of every ten package inserts for dyspepsia and constipation do not provide adequate information on the use of these drugs in infants, and also shows low concordance between the text of the package inserts and the reference sources regarding compatibility of the drug with breastfeeding.

RESUMO

Background: Globally, 20% of all newborns are born with low birth weight (LBW). There is, therefore, an urgent need to expedite the delivery of high-impact, evidenced-based, and low-cost interventions such as kangaroo mother care (KMC (defined as continuous skin-to-skin care) and exclusive breastfeeding for this vulnerable group. Methods: A multinational World Health Organization (WHO)-supported consortium created and tested the impact of locally-specific and globally-informed phases of KMC care on KMC uptake/scale-up across multiple sites. Here we report on the study of KMC predictors that is nested within Amhara's KMC implementation trial in Amhara, Ethiopia. We used multivariate logistic regression phases to identify diverse predictors of KMC, skin-to-skin contact, and exclusive breastfeeding at hospital discharge and day 28 of life. Results: We analysed data from 860 LBW newborns. At day 28, implementation period (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 3.2-5.0), hospital facility (aOR = 3.0-4.6), and having multiple births (aOR = 0.31) were the strongest predictors of effective KMC. Meanwhile, previous death of a newborn, type of health facility where delivery occurred, and previous LBW delivery were predictors of effective KMC at both time points. No single factor predicted KMC, skin-to-skin contact, and exclusive breastfeeding at all time points and across all implementation periods. Having multiple births was a negative predictor for skin-to-skin contact, while the implementation period and having older fathers (>29 years) were strong positive predictors for exclusive breastfeeding at both discharge and day 28. Mothers with a previous history of neonatal death and current skin-to-skin-care uptake strongly predicted exclusive breastfeeding uptake at both time points. At discharge, however, having a history of preterm birth and neonatal death strongly predicted exclusive breastfeeding uptake, while multiple current births, current very LBW newborns, and the use of standard binders decreased the likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusions: To achieve the effective KMC coverage target of ≥80% in Ethiopia, KMC scale-up phases may have to consider the key predictors of KMC, EBF, and SSC to effectively target beneficiaries.

RESUMO

Background: During emergencies, including natural disasters and armed conflict, breastfeeding is critically important. Breastfeeding provides reliable nutrition and protection against infectious diseases, without the need for clean water, feeding implements, electricity, or external supplies. Key Information: Protection, promotion, and support of breastfeeding should be an integral part of all emergency preparedness plans. Breastfeeding specialists should be part of plan development. Emergency protocols should include breastfeeding specialists among emergency relief personnel, provide culturally sensitive environments for breastfeeding, and prioritize caregivers of infants in food/water distribution. Emergency relief personnel should be aware that dehydration and missed feedings can impact milk production, but stress alone does not. Emergency support should focus on keeping mothers and infants together and providing private and/or protected spaces for mothers to breastfeed or express milk. Emergency support should also focus on rapidly identifying mothers with breastfeeding difficulties and breastfeeding mothers and infants who are separated, so their needs can be prioritized. Breastfeeding support should be available to all women experiencing difficulties, including those needing reassurance. Nonbreastfed infants should be identified as a priority group requiring support. Relactation, wet-nursing, and donor milk should be considered for nonbreastfed infants. No donations of commercial milk formula (CMF), feeding bottles or teats, or breast pumps should be accepted in emergencies. The distribution of CMF must be highly controlled, provided only when infants cannot be breastfed and accompanied by a comprehensive package of support. Recommendations: Protecting, promoting, and supporting breastfeeding should be included in all emergency preparedness planning and in training of personnel.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: While breastfeeding is globally recommended, its duration still represents a public health issue. AIM: To examine the association between the period of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and the duration of overall human milk nutrition, and to identify determinants associated with the duration of EBF and overall human milk nutrition length. STUDY DESIGN: The presented study is a cross-sectional study. A total of 209 healthy Polish women of Caucasian origin, aged 19-42 years, who were the mother of a child aged 3-12 months, were enrolled in the study. Data were collected from 2018 to 2020 using an anonymous questionnaire. Statistical analyses included one way ANOVA and liner regression. RESULTS: After birth almost all newborns were exclusively breastfed (96.7 %), but the supply of mother's milk declined as the children's ages increased. The duration of breastfeeding is strongly associated with EBF, especially until the child is six months old (p < 0.001). Mother's breastfeeding self-efficiency and her will for breastfeeding, comfortable latch, younger infant age, avoiding of a pacifier and excluding additional food may explain 36 % of variation of EBF duration (p < 0.001) and could be useful information for exclusive breastfeeding support. CONCLUSIONS: The practice of exclusive breastfeeding strongly affects overall breastfeeding duration. The promotion of exclusive breastfeeding, rather than of overall breast milk supply, is crucial.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There are few studies that approach the subject of breastfeeding related to the development of motor skills. The study aimed to verify if there are differences in the global and fine motor skills, considering the variables gender and type of breastfeeding, in children from 18 to 44 months. METHODS: We developed a quantitative correctional typology, being a cross-sectional study with a sample of 128 children of both genders. The instruments used in the study were the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2, and to assess the profile of the children a questionnaire was delivered to the parents. To test the normality of the sample, we applied the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test and the Shapiro-Wilk Test. The Mann-Whitney U-Test was used for independent samples, also calculating the effect size. RESULTS: The boys obtained higher mean values in all motor skills, except for the fine motor skills and fine motricity, and in these, the girls obtainied the higher mean values. With respect to the inferential analysis, concerning the variable gender, there are statistically significant differences (P<0.00) in the variables: locomotor skills, object handling skills, global motricity and global motor quotient (P=0.017) the boys exhibiting the higher values, which means the better performances. We also verify that children who were not breastfed with breast milk, through feeding bottle with replacement milk, obtained higher mean values in all motor skills when compared to the ones who were breastfed with breast milk, and there is a statistically significant difference in the variable fine manipulation skills (P=0.024). CONCLUSIONS: Male children obtained better results in all motor skills, except for fine motricity, comparing with female children. Regarding breastfeeding, the children who were not breastfed with breast milk, show better results, mainly in Fine manipulation skills, which may be due to the previous need to handle the bottle on early age.

RESUMO

Breastfeeding provides infection protection for several pathogens but not for noroviruses. Mechanisms explaining this discrepancy have been unclear. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Peiper et al. demonstrate that while breastmilk protects mice from intestinal damage, it promotes neonatal murine norovirus infection due to maternal-derived bile acids.1.

RESUMO

Available evidence of oral sensorimotor interventions for small neonates is not strong. Evidence of interventions for sick term neonates is largely lacking. Studies are limited by risk of bias and inconsistency. Evidence of interventions relying on a single stimulation technique only appears to be low to very low. Ongoing research is required.Contribution: We describe a five-component neonatal swallowing and breastfeeding intervention programme embedded in the practice of kangaroo mother care (KMC). Drawing on oropharyngeal physiology, neonatology, neurodevelopmental care, breastfeeding- and KMC science, the programme is the product of collaboration between a speech-language therapist and a medical doctor, and their team. Its implementation is dependent on coaching mothers and the neonatal care team. Researchers are invited to determine outcomes of the programme.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mother-to-child transmission of HIV during breastfeeding remains a challenge in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). A prevention package was initiated during the highly attended 2nd visit of the Expanded Program of Immunisation (EPI-2) to identify the undiagnosed infants living with HIV and reduce the postnatal transmission of infant exposed to HIV. METHODS: PREVENIR-PEV is a non-randomized phase II clinical trial conducted at two health centres in Bobo Dioulasso (Burkina Faso). The study recruited mothers living with HIV aged 15 years and older with their singleton breastfed infants. During EPI-2 (at 8 weeks) and upon signature of the informed consent, a point-of-care early infant diagnosis (EID) was performed. HIV exposed uninfected (HEU) infants were followed-up until 12 months of age. High risk HEU infants (i.e., whose maternal viral load ≥ 1000 cp/mL at EPI-2 or M6) received an extended postnatal prophylaxis (PNP) with lamivudine until end of follow-up or the end of breastfeeding. RESULTS: Between 4 December 2019 and 4 December 2020, 118 mothers living with HIV-1 were identified, and 102 eligible mother/infant pairs had their infants tested for HIV EID. Six infants were newly diagnosed with HIV, and 96 HEU infants were followed-up for 10 months. Among the participants followed-up, all mothers were prescribed antiretrovirals. All 18 infants eligible for PNP at either EPI-2 or 6 months (M6) were initiated on lamivudine. No HIV transmission occurred, and no serious adverse events were reported in infants receiving lamivudine. CONCLUSIONS: The PREVENIR-PEV prevention package integrated into existing care is safe and its implementation is feasible in a LMIC with a low HIV prevalence. More research is needed to target mother/infant pairs not adhering to the intervention proposed in this trial. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT03869944; first registered on 11/03/2019.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Ethiopia has had a long-standing national commitment to improving child health for the last five decades. However, evidence on trends of ever-breastfeeding and early initiation remained fragmented, and there existed a paucity of holistic evidence on the extent of the impacts of the policy and the associated factors. This study examined trends, disparities, and factors influencing ever-breastfed and early initiation in the last twenty years. METHODS: The Ethiopian Demographic and Health Surveys (EDHS 2000-2019) datasets were used and extracted for children aged 0-23 months and their mothers. Data analyses were performed using SPSS version 25. Trend and time-series analysis was used to visualize changes over time. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify associated factors. RESULTS: Prevalence of ever-breastfeeding declined from 99.4% in 2000, to 84.01% in 2019; and early initiation showed inconsistency, increasing from 48.55% in 2000 to 69.57% in 2016 and remained unchanged (69.78%) in 2019. Maternal age, religion, and maternal healthcare utilization significantly influenced early initiation (p < 0.001). Both ever-breastfeeding and early initiation varied across regional states (< 0.001). Disparities in breastfeeding and early initiation were observed across socio-cultural settings and regional states (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of ever-breastfeeding declined nationwide between 2000 and 2019, which was not uniform and early initiation showed inconsistency across socio-cultural settings and regional states. These findings highlight the need to revisit current policies and interventions. Further research is crucial to inform the development of regionally tailored and culturally sensitive strategies that promote equitable and sustained breastfeeding improvement across Ethiopia.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding offers significant health benefits, but its practice and success can vary. While research on induced lactation in cisgender women has been documented, there is limited research on lactation induction in transgender women. CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old transgender woman undergoing hormone therapy and living with a pregnant partner sought to co-feed using induced lactation. After approval by the hospital ethics committee, a regimen of estradiol, progesterone, and domperidone was initiated, accompanied by nipple stimulation. Lactation was successfully induced and maintained, with milk composition analysis indicating high levels of protein and other key nutrients. This case, the seventh reported, highlights the complexity of lactation induction in transgender women, considering factors such as age, obesity, and insulin resistance. The nutrient profile of the milk suggests its suitability for infant feeding, despite some differences from typical human milk. CONCLUSIONS: Induced lactation is feasible in transgender women, expanding the understanding of non-puerperal lactation and its potential in diverse family structures. Further research is warranted to optimize lactation induction protocols in transgender women.

RESUMO

Breastfeeding and microbial colonization during infancy occur within a critical time window for development, and both are thought to influence the risk of respiratory illness. However, the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of breastfeeding and the regulation of microbial colonization are poorly understood. Here, we profiled the nasal and gut microbiomes, breastfeeding characteristics, and maternal milk composition of 2,227 children from the CHILD Cohort Study. We identified robust colonization patterns that, together with milk components, predict preschool asthma and mediate the protective effects of breastfeeding. We found that early cessation of breastfeeding (before 3 months) leads to the premature acquisition of microbial species and functions, including Ruminococcus gnavus and tryptophan biosynthesis, which were previously linked to immune modulation and asthma. Conversely, longer exclusive breastfeeding supports a paced microbial development, protecting against asthma. These findings underscore the importance of extended breastfeeding for respiratory health and highlight potential microbial targets for intervention.

RESUMO

Maternal thiamine deficiency is prevalent in low- and middle-income countries. Thiamine-responsive pulmonary hypertension (TRPHTN) in exclusively breastfed infants is reported in India. Thiamine transporter gene (ThTR) variations have not been studied. This study compared the presentation of exclusively breastfed infants with respiratory distress diagnosed as TRPHTN or acute respiratory infection (ARI). We investigated pathogenic variations in the SLC19A2 and SLC19A3 ThTr genes in a representative sample. Observational study. Tertiary care pediatric unit of a teaching hospital in southern India. Data collection was prospective. We included exclusively breastfed infants between 1 and 6 months of age with respiratory distress. Infants with PHTN in echocardiography and lactic acidosis (LA) received thiamine. TRPHTN was diagnosed based on response within 72 h. Infants with fever, chest findings, and positive microbiology were managed as ARI. The ThTr genes were sequenced and analyzed. Chi-square and stratified analysis were done to determine TRPHTN risk. Forty infants with TRPHTN and 42 with ARI were included. The median pulmonary arterial pressure in the TRPHTN group was 51.5 mmHg. Mild PHTN was seen in 65%, moderate in 22.5%, and severe in 12.5%. Cardiac failure (P < .001), stridor and aphonia (P < .001), encephalopathy (P = .024), LA (P < .001), and PHTN (P <.001) facilitated the diagnosis. The adjusted risk was 17.3 (95% confidence interval 7.8-38.3; P <.001). The ThTR sequencing showed wild-type genotypes. TRPHTN has a distinct, identifiable presentation. Lactate and pulmonary pressure estimations are useful investigations in thiamine deficiency endemic areas. We could not demonstrate a genetic variation that determines susceptibility.

RESUMO

Evidence that breastfeeding impacts the facial features of children is conflicting. Most studies to date have focused on dental and skeletal malocclusion. It currently remains unclear whether such effects are of sufficient magnitude to be detectable on outward facial appearance. Here, we evaluate the extent to which maternally reported breastfeeding is associated with 3D facial shape in a large adolescent cohort. After extracting 3D facial surfaces from MR scans in 2275 9- and 10-year-old children and aligning the surfaces in dense correspondence, we analyzed the effect of breastfeeding on shape as a dichotomous (no/yes) and semi-quantitative (to assess duration in months) variable using partial least squares regression. Our results showed no effect (p = 0.532) when breastfeeding was dichotomized. However, when treated as a semi-quantitative variable, breastfeeding duration was associated with statistically significant changes in shape (p = 3.61x 10-4). The most prominent facial changes included relative retrusion of the central midface, zygomatic arches, and orbital regions along with relative protrusion of forehead, cheek, and mandible. The net effect was that as breastfeeding duration increased, the facial profile in children became flatter (less convex). The observed effects on the face, however, were subtle and likely not conspicuous enough to be noticed by most observers. This was true even when comparing the faces of children breastfed for 19-24 months to children with no reported breastfeeding. Thus, breastfeeding does appear to have detectable effect on outward facial appearance in adolescent children, but its practical impact appears to be minimal.

RESUMO

Adolescent mothers face numerous challenges while breastfeeding. This study aimed to assess the breastfeeding needs of adolescent mothers. For this systematic review, Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, SID and Magiran databases were searched. The initial search yielded 2,290 studies, of which 41 were included in this review. Adolescent mothers' breastfeeding requirements were grouped into 8 categories: (1) social support from healthcare providers, partners and families; (2) school support for breastfeeding mothers; (3) breastfeeding counselling based on cultural sensitivities; (4) educational assistance from health providers for adolescent mothers' families; (5) changing harmful cultural values and judgments about adolescent mothers' breastfeeding; (6) additional home or outpatient visits in the days following hospital discharge; (7) peer support and counselling; and (8) economic needs. To promote breastfeeding, policymakers and healthcare providers should devise specifically tailored programmes and interventions to cater to the specific requirements of adolescent mothers.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Despite its known benefits, breastfeeding rates among mothers with perinatal mental health conditions are staggeringly low. Systematic evidence on experiences of breastfeeding among women with perinatal mental health conditions is limited. This systematic review was designed to synthesise existing literature on breastfeeding experiences of women with a wide range of perinatal mental health conditions. METHODS: A systematic search of five databases was carried out considering published qualitative research between 2003 and November 2021. Two reviewers conducted study selection, data extraction and critical appraisal of included studies independently and data were synthesised thematically. RESULTS: Seventeen articles were included in this review. These included a variety of perinatal mental health conditions (e.g., postnatal depression, post-traumatic stress disorders, previous severe mental illnesses, eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders). The emerging themes and subthemes included: (1) Vulnerabilities: Expectations versus reality; Self-perception as a mother; Isolation. (2) Positive outcomes: Bonding and closeness; Sense of achievement. (3) Challenges: Striving for control; Inconsistent advice and lack of support; Concerns over medication safety; and Perceived impact on milk quality and supply. CONCLUSIONS: Positive breastfeeding experiences of mothers with perinatal mental health conditions can mediate positive outcomes such as enhanced mother/infant bonding, increased self-esteem, and a perceived potential for healing. Alternatively, a lack of consistent support and advice from healthcare professionals, particularly around health concerns and medication safety, can lead to feelings of confusion, negatively impact breastfeeding choices, and potentially aggravate perinatal mental health symptoms. Appropriate support, adequate breastfeeding education, and clear advice, particularly around medication safety, are required to improve breastfeeding experiences for women with varied perinatal mental health conditions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The benefits of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) have been universally documented, with evidence of positive impacts on a child's optimal growth, development, and survival. However, EBF practices in Nepal have fluctuated and declined over the last 25 years. In addition to the individual factors of mothers and infants, EBF practices are affected by multiple community-level factors. Understanding these factors is essential for designing breastfeeding promotion programs to improve child nutritional status in Nepal. This study investigated the individual- and community-level determinants of EBF practices among young infants aged 0-5 months in Nepal. METHOD: We used the dataset from the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2022. Information on EBF in the past 24 h was available for 540 infants aged 0-5 months. A multilevel mixed-effect logistic regression was used to identify individual- and community-level factors associated with EBF among infants aged 0-5 months in Nepal. RESULTS: The 24-hour prevalence of EBF among infants aged 0-5 months was 57.46% (95% confidence interval (CI): 52.18, 62.57). The infant's age was inversely associated with EBF prevalence at the individual level. Compared with infants aged < 1 month, infants aged three months (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 0.14, 95% CI: 0.05, 0.40), four months (AOR: 0.11, 95% CI: 0.04, 0.28), and five months (AOR: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.03, 0.20) were less likely to receive EBF. At the community level, community-level variables such as ≥ 4 ANC visits coverage, maternal employment status, and poverty level were generated by aggregating the individual characteristics in a cluster and were categorized using quartiles into low ("< 25%"), moderate (25-75%), and high (≥ 75%). Mothers from communities with moderate ≥ 4 ANC visits (AOR: 3.30, 95% CI: 1.65, 6.57) and high ≥ 4 ANC visits (AOR: 2.70, 95% CI: 1.40, 5.22) coverage had higher odds of EBF practices than did those from communities with low ≥ 4 ANC visits coverage. Similarly, communities with moderate (AOR: 2.67, 95% CI: 1.34, 5.30) and high (AOR: 2.34, 95% CI: 1.10, 4.99) levels of maternal employment status and moderate levels of poverty (AOR: 2.20, 95% CI: 1.13, 4.28) were associated with a higher likelihood of EBF practices. Subnational level variation was evident, with infants in Lumbini province having lower odds of EBF (AOR: 0.32, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.77) relative to Koshi province. Approximately 9% of the variation in EBF practices was observed among mothers while mapping across clusters in this study. CONCLUSION: Various individual- and community-level factors influence the uptake of EBF in Nepal, underscoring the need to improve the approaches and strategies of EBF programs. This study highlighted the significant association of community-level factors (≥ 4 ANC visits coverage, poverty level, and maternal employment status) with EBF among infants under 6 months. It revealed approximately 9% variability in EBF across clusters. Future efforts to promote EBF should focus on older infants and communities with low poverty levels and low coverage of recommended ≥ 4 ANC visits. Furthermore, context-specific adaptation of such efforts might be required considering the variation observed between the communities in the present study.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The exclusive breastfeeding rates is low in some countries. Low breastfeeding rates results in higher healthcare expenses and adverse health outcomes for individuals and society. Co-parenting is effective in promoting breastfeeding as it involves shared responsibility and collaboration between parents in raising children. However, the current breastfeeding co-parenting intervention programs exhibits significant variations in components, timing, and duration across studies. An evidence-based breastfeeding co-parenting intervention program is essential for enhancing breastfeeding-related outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To develop an evidence-based breastfeeding co-parenting intervention program for healthcare providers to guide parents with primiparas on breastfeeding. METHOD: To form an initial version of the intervention program, a systematic literature review was conducted to consolidate information on current intervention programs. Two rounds of Delphi method were followed to gather expert comments for the program modification to establish the formal version. RESULTS: Fourteen articles published between 1995 and 2022 were screened. Details of these researches, including starting and ending time, duration and specific contents, were integrated to developed the initial program. Then, six experts completed the two rounds consultation with a positive coefficient of 85.71%, coefficient judgment basis of 0.93, familiarity coefficient of 0.87, authority coefficient of 0.90 and the Kendall's W of 0.62. Finally, an evidence-based breastfeeding co-parenting intervention program was constructed in this study, consisting of breastfeeding co-parenting courses, individual counselling and a father's support group. CONCLUSION: This research developed a breastfeeding co-parenting intervention program for healthcare providers to guide primiparous parents to improve breastfeeding rates. Through a systematic literature review and Delphi method with good reliability, the program integrates breastfeeding courses, individual counseling, and a father's support group. Future research will focus on evaluating its impact and scalability to benefit maternal and infant health globally. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ChiCTR.org.cn (ChiCTR2300069648).
