Remote and digital support interventions to improve exclusive breastfeeding outcomes: a scoping review
Abstract
This project aims to map and synthesize the available evidence on remote and digital interventions designed to optimize exclusive breastfeeding outcomes. It highlights innovative strategies such as telelactation, mobile health applications, and digital peer support, examining how these approaches influence both quantitative outcomes —like breastfeeding duration and exclusivity— and qualitative outcomes, including maternal satisfaction and self-efficacy. By analyzing the implementation contexts, barriers, and facilitators, this work provides actionable insights to inform the design of evidence-based, cost-effective, and contextually adapted strategies to strengthen breastfeeding support within primary care and community settings.
