Following transcriptions of the interviews, data were analyzed using a content analysis approach.Within Education, Support, Antenatal and Postnatal Advice Themes, categories and sub-categories emerged from the data. Participants were generally aware of their role in supporting women in the process of breast-feeding.The knowledge obtained through research and education should be shared with women so that informed decision of feeding method can be made.
