Views and experiences of women, peer supporters and healthcare professionals on breastfeeding peer support: A systematic review of qualitative studies

Yan-Shing Chang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to examine and synthesise qualitative evidence on the views and experiences of women, peer supporters, and healthcare professionals regarding breastfeeding peer support. The findings indicated that breastfeeding peer support increased women's self-esteem and confidence while reducing social isolation. Peer supporters valued the experience, which gave them a sense of purpose and confidence, and felt good about helping the women they supported. Women appreciated peer supporters who showed care, spent time with them, shared experiences, provided realistic information, and offered practical and emotional support. Embedding peer supporters in healthcare systems, working alongside healthcare professionals, and building trustful relationships could be an effective strategy to reduce tensions between them.
