Early Digi-physical Support During Breastfeeding Initiation Linked to Continued Support at the Breastfeeding Clinic
The purpose of this Randomized Controlled Trial is to develop and evaluate a digi-physical intervention within primary health care lactation counselling and breastfeeding support to promote exclusive breastfeeding rates during the first 6 months after birth and to prevent depressive symptoms. The project addresses parents during pregnancy week 20 and 32 and will continue during the infant's first year of life. All participants will get access to an evidence-based information package (theory and practical advises) during pregnancy. Study aim is to develop and evaluate digital evidence-based information materials and continuous support for both parents in order to increase prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding and duration as well as decreasing the risks of symptoms of post-partum depression.
