Mothers experience of breastfeeding during the two first weeks postpartum : A qualitative interview study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Det är väl känt att amning under barnets första levnadsperiod ger positiva effekter för både mamma och barn men är även viktigt ur ett folkhälsoperspektiv. Trots väldokumenterade fördelar för både mamma och barn har amningsfrekvensen sjunkit i Sverige. Att främja amning är bland den viktigaste investeringen ett land kan göra ur ett långsiktigt folkhälsoperspektiv. Syfte: Beskriva mammors upplevelser i den tidiga amningen i övergången mellan förlossningsvård och BVC. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ intervjustudie där sju mammor deltog. Materialet analyserades enligt Graneheim och Lundmans kvalitativa innehållsanalys. Resultat: I resultatet framkom tre huvudkategorier, emotionella upplevelser, kroppsliga upplevelser och önskat stöd. Mammorna upplevde en mental trötthet och osäkerhet men även trygghet i den tidiga amningsperioden. Faktorer som återhämtning och smärta i kroppen, brösten och bröstvårtorna var faktorer som mammorna upplevde. Bättre stöd direkt på förlossningen efterfrågades och en bokad tid till BVC innan önskades. Slutsats: Om vårdpersonalen har goda kunskaper om amning och kan bemöta mammorna och ge dem det stöd de är i behov av ökar chanserna för en fungerande amning.

Abstract [en]

Background: It is well known that breastfeeding during the infants first period of life has positive effects for both the mother and the child but is also important from a public health perspective. Despite well-documented benefits for both mother and baby, breastfeeding rates have decreased in Sweden. Promoting breastfeeding is among the most important things a country can do from a public health perspective. Aim: To describe mother´s experiences in the early breastfeeding in the transition between obstetric care and BVC. Method: The study was conducted as a qualitative interview study in which seven mothers participated. The material was analysed according to Graneheim and Lundman's qualitative content analysis. Results: In the results, three main categories emerged, emotional experiences, bodily experiences, and desired support. The mothers experienced mental fatigue and insecurity but also security in the early breastfeeding period. Factors such as recovery and pain in the body, breasts and nipples were factors experienced by the mothers. Better support directly at the birth was requested and a booked appointment to BVC before was desired. Conclusions: If the healthcare staff have good knowledge of breastfeeding and can meet the mothers and give them the support they need, the chances of a functioning breastfeeding increase.
