Abstract :
In general, nurses and midwives had positive attitudes toward breastfeeding counseling, and they all agreed that breastfeeding is an important part of preventing child-related diseases. We conducted a narrative review through the databases; PubMed and EMbase for relevant studies were published in English studies, up to the beginning of 2023.
Mothers’ poor compliance with breastfeeding recommendations, too much workload, insufficient time, and logistics for breastfeeding counselling hampered nurses’ and midwives’ provision of breastfeeding counselling to mothers. Breastfeeding programs and policies that aim to improve nurses’ and midwives’ breastfeeding competencies, remove barriers to breastfeeding counseling, and provide intensive continuous breastfeeding training are recommended. Implementing these recommendations is critical for providing nurses and midwives with the necessary breastfeeding skills.
