Antenatal breastfeeding education for increasing breastfeeding duration
Antenatal BF education is teaching women about BF during pregnancy, before the baby arrives. One reason women are unable to breastfeed has to do with lack of education and knowledge about how to breastfeed. We believe that improving pregnant women’s knowledge of BF may help them to breastfeed longer, but we are unsure what types of education are most helpful to women.
