Abstract

Global breastfeeding rates indicate that most women and infants are unable to sustain lactation for minimum recommended durations, with marked cost to health outcomes. Breastfeeding families frequently visit doctors following birth and these interactions significantly influence feeding decisions. Doctors have identified they are not receiving the evidence-based knowledge needed to support clinical decision-making. Various research methods, guided systematically using established framework for complex intervention development, were integrated to deliver the required evidence-base via an accessible online intervention called LactaMap. LactaMap enables timely translation of lactation knowledge to practice and is being cited by hospital, health and government organisations.
