They were also sensitive to the attitudes of healthcare professionals, which can affect their own state of mind. Healthcare professionals' preconceptions regarding breastfeeding and DS have not changed, despite research showing that infants with DS can breastfeed successfully. Increased awareness of the possibility to breastfeed an infant with DS is needed to provide better support to mothers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/scs.13088","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,18]],"date-time":"2022-05-18T07:23:21Z","timestamp":1652858601000},"page":"1156-1164","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Mothers of children with down syndrome: A qualitative study of experiences of breastfeeding and breastfeeding support"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0276-9599","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lisbeth","family":"J\u00f6nsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine Lund University  Lund Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Olsson Tyby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine Lund University  Lund Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Hullfors","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine Lund University  Lund Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0350-440X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pia","family":"Lundqvist","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine Lund University  Lund Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","unstructured":"World Health Organisation.Congenital anomalies;2020.
