What this Trial Is About
This research aims to understand how certain birth practices and conditions affect exclusive breastfeeding. It focuses on events like cesarean section, vacuum assisted birth, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia. The main question is whether these factors influence exclusive breastfeeding three months after birth. The study is observational and involves participants who intend to breastfeed and meet specific criteria. Participants are grouped based on birth types and conditions: cesarean section, vacuum assisted birth, gestational diabetes, or preeclampsia. They respond to a series of eight online surveys, one before birth and seven after birth, scheduled at three, seven, and fourteen days; as well as one, three, six, and twelve months postpartum. During the study, participants complete surveys to provide information on their breastfeeding practices over time. Researchers will measure exclusive breastfeeding status at three months as the primary outcome. The study includes follow-up through multiple timepoints extending up to one year after birth. It is sponsored by Herlev Hospital and welcomes adult female participants who plan to breastfeed.
