结局指标
主要结局
Infant Feeding Questionnaire
时间窗: 4 weeks
The primary outcome for this study is the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at 4 weeks postpartum. This is defined as no food or liquid other than breast milk (not even water) given to the infant and includes feeding expressed breast milk. However, under this definition of exclusive breastfeeding, undiluted drops or syrups consisting of vitamins, minerals supplements or medicines are included (Breastfeeding Committee for Canada, 2006; WHO, 2010). Exclusive breastfeeding will be determined by asking the mother what she has fed her baby in the last 7 days and what she usually feeds her baby. In this trial exclusive breastfeeding will be consistent with full breastfeeding described by Labbok and Krasovec (1990).
