Limitations and suggestions for future research
Misconceptions about breastfeeding and individual differences in reporting were mitigated somewhat by randomization and sample selection. Future research may adopt observational tools to measure the problems experienced in breastfeeding more effectively. Another limitation of the study may be non-compliance with the intervention provided to participants in both groups and the use of other breastfeeding positions. Education and support should be adopted more widely and evaluated more robustly in pursuit of improved outcomes and experiences both during and after birth. Another limitation of this study is that it was conducted in only one center. Future studies should be multi-center in their design.
