Limitations/Comments:
The recommendations in this priority area are largely informed by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Guide to Breastfeeding
Interventions, available online at: www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/. Although
the CDC report draws heavily on the reviews of the Cochrane Collaboration,
a well-respected source of research in public health, its methodology for
categorizing interventions is not outlined explicitly.
The CDC review included few studies of hospital-based interventions,
such as rooming-in and early maternal contact. In addition, studies often
evaluated multiple interventions simultaneously, making it difficult to
ascertain the benefit of each individual activity. Only published reports
in English were reviewed.
