Abstract:
Mother support for breastfeeding takes many forms. The traditional support of the extended family is lacking in mobile societies or where older generations lack breastfeeding experience. When other self-help and mutual support groups emerged to provide the individual with a peer group with a common life stage or need, breastfeeding groups also began. Face-to-face groups and telephone hotlines have embraced new technologies. Special needs have led to groups for mothers of prematures or multiples. Support by volunteers may be supplemented or replaced by remunerated breastfeeding peer counsellors matched to disadvantaged groups. Some groups or programs are consumer driven, others guided by health workers.
