ABA‐Feed Infant Feeding Training for Peer Supporters and Coordinators
The assets-based feeding help before and after birth (ABA-feed) intervention aims to improve breastfeeding rates by offering proactive peer support to first-time mothers, regardless of feeding intention.

Experiences of the ABA‐Feed Infant Feeding Intervention
UK breastfeeding rates are low, with health inequalities in initiation and continuation. Breastfeeding peer support interventions are recommended in UK and global policy.

This study aimed to investigate feasibility of intervention de…

The objective of this study was to compare the prevalence and severity of maternal distress within the NRU with that in other paediatric wards. Given the known association between poor maternal psychological well-being and child undernutrition in low- and middle-income countrie…
