Methodological quality was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute tools and Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt\u2019s hierarchy of evidence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were synthesized from 11 studies published between 1993 and 2023, encompassing 2,842 participants across diverse hospital settings. Findings indicate that extended postpartum magnesium sulfate administration is associated with delayed breastfeeding initiation, delayed maternal perception of SA, and greater reliance on milk expression. Most researchers did not report maternal side effects or quantitatively measure the frequency of breastfeeding or pumping. Studies reported hospital policies that restricted rooming-in and breastfeeding during magnesium infusion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Postpartum magnesium sulfate administration is associated with delays in lactation initiation, missing the evidence-based critical window for frequent early milk removal. However, studies in this review rarely examine maternal side effects or feeding frequency in detail. Future research should use standardized definitions, document both frequency and mode of milk removal, evaluate objective measures of SA, evaluate maternal experience, and hospital policies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15568253261415867","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,23]],"date-time":"2026-01-23T08:00:58Z","timestamp":1769155258000},"page":"171-185","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Effect of Magnesium Sulfate in the Treatment of Maternal Postpartum Hypertension on Breastfeeding: An Integrative Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Holiday H.","family":"Solly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca R.S.","family":"Clark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family and Community Health, University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."},{"name":"Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diane L.","family":"Spatz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family and Community Health, University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."},{"name":"Center for Pediatric Nursing Research and Evidence Based Practice, Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
