  • Title: The Effect of Sexual Abuse and Prenatal Substance Use on Successful Breastfeeding.
    Author: Jansson LM, Velez ML, Butz AM.
    Journal: J Obstet Gynecol Neonatal Nurs; 2017; 46(3):480-484. PubMed ID: 28371620.
    Abstract:
    Barriers to breastfeeding in women with substance use disorders (SUDs) often exist. Neonatal abstinence syndrome-related feeding difficulties, maternal SUD-related maladaptive behaviors, and psychological comorbidities can adversely affect breastfeeding. A neglected barrier that frequently occurs in women with SUDs is a history of sexual abuse. It is important that nurses and providers understand each maternal and/or infant factor that can affect the breastfeeding course to assist effectively with lactation support for these frequently misunderstood dyads.
