Highlights
Breastfeeding has been recognised as an optimal method to nourish an infant as it provides complete nutrition necessary for its full physical and mental development.[1,2,3] Breastfeeding protects against common infections and diseases throughout childhood with effects lasting even into adulthood
Other heuristic violations were related to socio-demographics (7 violations/9 screens), followed by knowledge component (64 violations/90 screens), self-efficacy (14 violations/23 screens) and Breastfeeding Attrition Prediction Tool (BAPT) (3 violations/60 screens)
The maximum number of heuristic violations included: recognition rather than recall (62%, n = 60) followed by consistency and standards (14%, n = 14), match between the system and real world (9%, n = 9), visibility of system status (5%, n = 5), help and documentation (4%, n = 4), user control and freedom (3%, n = 3), error prevention (2%, n = 2) and helping users recognise, diagnose and recover from errors (1%, n = 1)
Summary
Breastfeeding has been recognised as an optimal method to nourish an infant as it provides complete nutrition necessary for its full physical and mental development.[1,2,3] Breastfeeding protects against common infections and diseases throughout childhood with effects lasting even into adulthood. Benefits of breastfeeding for the mother include a rapid return of post-partum uterine tone and post-partum weight loss, higher bone mass density after menopause, delay of ovulation and decreased risk of breast and ovarian and endometrial cancers.[7,8,9]
