An Exploration of Social Desirability Bias in Measurement of Attitudes toward Breastfeeding in Public
Conclusion:
Perceived anonymity may have influenced responses to some questions about attitudes toward breastfeeding in public. The effects of perceived anonymity may operate differently within demographic sectors. The direction of the effects was not always consistent with hypotheses, and future research is needed to fully explore the various dimensions of attitudes toward breastfeeding. The UCT method shows promise for improving the accuracy of reporting attitudes toward breastfeeding. (Source: Journal of Human Lactation)

Severe Breast Pain Resolved with Pectoral Muscle Massage
Many mothers stop breastfeeding because of breast and/or nipple pain, despite recommendations by the World Health Organization to exclusively breastfeed for the first 6 months.

Postcesarean Section Skin-to-Skin Contact of Mother and Child
The objective of this article is to describe a policy developed to ensure timely postcesarean StS contact. Our protocol for neonatal StS contact with the mother is based on reported benefits found in literature, the World Health Organization’s international recommendations, and deep respect for a process that is both natural and instinctive.
