Significantly more mothers in the peer support group than in the control group continued to breastfeed exclusively at 3 months post partum (56.8% versus 40.3%, P = 0.01). Breastfeeding rates at 4, 8 and 12 weeks post partum were 92.4%, 84.8% and 81.1% respectively among mothers in the peer support group as compared with 83.9%, 75.0% and 66.9% among those in the control group (P </ = 0.05 for all time periods). Fewer mothers in the peer support group than in the control group expressed dissatisfaction with breastfeeding (1.5% versus 10.5%; P = 0.02). |

Significant group differences were found for probable major depressive symptomatology (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS)) at the 4 week (P = 0.02) and 8 week (P = 0.01) follow‐up assessments. At the 4 week assessment 40.9% (n = 9) of mothers in the control group scored >12 on the EPDS compared with only 10% (n = 2) in the experimental group. At the 8 week assessment 52.4% (n = 11) of the mothers in the control group scored > 12 on the EPDS compared with 15% (n = 3) of mothers in the experimental group. |
