Abstract
Background:
Breastfeeding is critically important for optimal health of both birthing people and their infants. Shared, patient-centered goals of how health care team members, community groups, and families can help facilitate breastfeeding success are needed, as are ways to define and measure what breastfeeding success looks like from the patient’s perspective.
Methods:
The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine and Reaching Our Sisters Everywhere’s collaborated in a multi-methods approach to identify breastfeeding priorities most important to parents.
Results:
We identified (1) Key components of a successful breastfeeding journey defined by parents and families, (2) Research priorities that will enable families to achieve breastfeeding.
Conclusion:
Dissemination of these findings can foster research efforts that are codesigned with birthing parents and families and reflect their priorities.
