This study evaluates the efficacy of a "breastfeeding toolkit" card delivered as part of antenatal care in promoting breastfeeding maintenance.
The project is an evaluation of an intervention that will start on January 1 2024.
From January 1 2024 through to March 31st 2024 midwives will present to patients attending their 24 week antenatal appointment a breastfeeding toolkit card.
The trial compares breastfeeding rates across patients who receive the card and those whose 24-week antenatal appointment occurred in the three months October 1 2023 - December 31 2023.
