What this trial studies

This observational study aims to enhance breastfeeding support for families at risk of difficulties in breastfeeding, particularly in Region Zealand, Denmark. It will involve the development, implementation, and evaluation of a tailored intervention delivered across various healthcare sectors, including obstetric and neonatal departments, primary care, and civil society. The study seeks to address the lower breastfeeding rates in this region, which may be influenced by socio-economic factors and maternal health issues. By focusing on high-risk families, the study aims to provide targeted support to improve breastfeeding outcomes.
