This study describes the perceptions surrounding breastfeeding decisions and management among pregnant and postpartum women taking methadone.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seven pregnant women and 4 postpartum women enrolled in methadone maintenance programs participated in semistructured, audiotaped interviews and focus groups, respectively, about their breastfeeding experiences.

Lack of support from the health care community and misinformation about the dangers of combining breastfeeding and methadone therapy represented significant, yet modifiable, barriers to breastfeeding success in methadone-exposed women.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Interventions to increase the prevalence of breastfeeding among women taking methadone should address identified logistical, educational, and psychological barriers and consider inclusion of women themselves, partners, peers, and clinicians. In particular, clinicians who care for methadone-exposed mothers and infants should be educated on therapeutic communication, up-to-date breastfeeding contraindications, and the health benefits of breastfeeding in this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1080\/08897077.2014.902417","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,4]],"date-time":"2014-04-04T11:41:07Z","timestamp":1396611667000},"page":"203-208","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Breastfeeding and Methadone Therapy: The Maternal Experience"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Jill R.","family":"Demirci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Debra L.","family":"Bogen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yael","family":"Klionsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technion\u2013Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-08897077.2014.902417","unstructured":"World Health Organization and Fifty-Fifth World Health Assembly.
