Differences between protocol and review

We added one more comparison of 'programmes involving multiple methods of providing education versus no formal education' to our subgroup analysis. We searched SCOPUS instead of Embase because our university subscribed to SCOPUS but not Embase.

Non‐prespecified outcomes

Two studies reported BF practices at time points not pre‐specified for this review. One study (Noel‐Weiss 2006) reported any BF at eight weeks and exclusive BF at eight weeks. Another study reported BF outcomes at seven days (Ryser 2004).

A 'Summary of findings' table has been incorporated in this update (2016).

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Breastfeeding complications

Duffy 1997 (n = 70) reported no group differences for mastitis, but less nipple pain and less nipple trauma for women who had a lactation consultant.2

Kronborg 2012 (n = 1162) reported no group differences as to whether women responded yes when asked about BF problems.3

(2 studies)

Moderate

Both trials compared the intervention with standard care

*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

CI: Confidence interval; RR: Risk ratio; OR: Odds ratio;

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: We are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect
Moderate quality: We are moderately confident in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different
Low quality: Our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect
Very low quality: We have very little confidence in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect

1 Statistical heterogeneity I² = 69% (not downgraded)

2 Downgraded for imprecision due to small sample size (‐1).
