Breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSE)

Self-efficacy is determined by factors such as prior experience, vicarious learning, persuasion of others and physiological state, which in turn impact on one's behaviours and actions. One's sense of self-efficacy is modifiable, and can be readily targeted for intervention. An increasingly studied key determinant of breastfeeding outcomes is breastfeeding confidence, also referred to as breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSE). The investigators will use a nurse-administered validated BSE intervention tool.
