Breastfeeding teaching kit

Breastfeeding rates are declining due to a lack of knowledge awareness support from mothers and a lack of self-confidence. The objectives of our work were to assess breastfeeding women's levels of knowledge and self-efficacy and to determine the factors associated with these with a view to proposing a Targeted Breastfeeding Education Kit.The study was descriptive analytical and cross-sectional and included 180 parturients who had given birth at the CHU Hedi Chaker Sfax maternity hospital.Knowledge of breastfeeding was good in 50% of cases. Mean self-efficacy scores were good (5059). The level of primary education the absence of a source of information and the introduction of artificial milk were predictors of a low level of knowledge about AM. Experience and low satisfaction with breastfeeding the birth of a twin and the planning of formula feeding were negatively correlated with the self-efficacy score.Thus there is a need to develop education programs targeting populations with low levels of knowledge and self-efficacy.
