BACKGROUND
• Calderdale Primary Care Trust’s vision is to improve the health of the people of Calderdale, one step on this journey is to encourage mothers to breastfeed
• The PCT is looking to develop a social marketing campaign in order to increase and sustain the uptake of breastfeeding for new mums in North Halifax, which is made up of Ovenden, Illingworth and Mixenden
3
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
• In order to develop and deliver a successful social marketing campaign it is crucial that the PCT first understands the target audiences.
• More specifically to gain insight into the behaviours, attitudes, relationships, barriers and resistance to breastfeeding among professionals, partner organisations and residents within North Halifax.
4
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
• Research need to shed light on the following: – the role of breastfeeding within the target groups– ‘barriers’ to breastfeeding– perceptions of breastfeeding among health care
professionals – the effectiveness and perceived availability of
breastfeeding support within this area– the role of peers, family and healthcare professionals in
breastfeeding in North Halifax– the perceived benefits of breastfeeding – who and what the main factors are that influence new
mums decisions with regards to breastfeeding– the reasons behind poor reporting of breastfeeding rates at
6-8 weeks– the communications channels within the area with the
greatest influence.
5
PROFESSIONAL SAMPLE
• 2 midwives
• 2 health visitors
• 1 GP
• 1 individual from social services
• 1 individual from the voluntary sector

• 2 x 1.5 hour mini group discussions– 4 women who breast fed (first time and subsequent mums)– A friendship group - 2 women who rejected breastfeeding ( 1
pregnant and 1 subsequent) + 1 friend + 2 fathers
• Approximately half the sample came from professional leads, the rest were friends put forward by other mothers
7
PUBLIC SAMPLE

MAIN FINDINGS
10
UNDERSTANDING THE TARGET AUDIENCE
11
BACKGROUND FACTORSVarious lifestyle factors influence or compound attitudes to breastfeeding. Some factors come
from being a young mum….
Motherhood feels overwhelming -
want help
Unstable relationships
with baby’s father
Social life and peer group is important
Focussing on ownlife as much or more
than babies life
Can be uncomfortable with own body
Need baby tohelp them feel loved
Strong sense of being stared at and
judged by others
Unplanned pregnancy-Often don’t focus
on post birth
12
BACKGROUND FACTORS
Other factors influencing attitudes to breastfeeding include:
Overcrowded accommodation – no sense of privacy
Strong sense of community.
Us vs. the world.How we do things
round here.
High levels of smoking
13
ATTITUDES TO BREASTFEEDING
Different attitudes to breastfeeding emerge
NEGATIVE:Absoluterejection
POSITIVE:Will attempt to
breastfeed, with mixed results
UNCERTAIN:Waver,
usually ending in rejection
of idea
All are aware of the health benefits of breastfeeding to some degree.
14
NEGATIVE ATTITUDE
These women have a strong rejection of the idea of breastfeeding
• Principle barriers stem from:– Disgust and embarrassment, based on sexual connotations
of breasts– Total lack of familiarity, sense of otherness
• Secondary barriers include:– Wanting to involve other family members– Lack of strong sense of need/desire to BF– Positive attitudes to bottle feeding
Ultimately they feel that breastfeeding is not part of their culture
15
NEGATIVE ATTITUDE
He didn’t want me to do
it
Embarrassing
My boobs are not
for babies
Like paedophilia
Have to get your ‘blah blahs’ out
I’ve never seen anyone
do that
Posh women
(breastfeed)
For fat old women, who don’t care about their
bodies so they don’t mind
getting them out
My mum fed me formula
The baby can get addicted
Bottle feeding
is modern
No one does that round
here
Disgusting
16
UNCERTAIN ATTITUDE
CONS
• Embarrassment
• Unfamiliarity
• Lack of partner involvement/help from others
• Lack of personal freedom
• Expect pain/difficulty
PROS
• Generalised health benefits for baby
• Improved immunity
• Keep their large breasts
• Professional want them to do it
• (Controlled) weight loss
Others can waver through their pregnancy. They try to balance the pros and cons
17
UNCERTAIN ATTITUDE
Unlike the outright rejectors, these wavering women have begun to consider the potential impact on
their lives and relationships.
18
UNCERTAIN ATTITUDE
Embarrassing, you’d
have to get your boobs
out
It makes them grow better
If she’s hungry when
I’m out people would
stare
My friend said it hurt
It’s good for your
baby
Natural
My mum said it would
make my bits go back into place right quick
There’s no where to do
it in town
He wouldn’t
be able to join in
Great to have Jordan size
boobs
The baby wouldn’t be able to go to his dads
19
POSITIVE ATTITUDE
Other women have a more positive attitude to breastfeeding
• Either culturally– They aspire to breastfeeding as the ideal– Their partner firmly believes in the benefits of breastfeeding– Tend to be more middle class
• Or through specific experience/knowledge gained by child or own sibling in special care baby unit
• Through experience of making up bottles for older siblings childHowever, despite positive intentions some
still struggle to last to 6-8 weeks
20
POSITIVE ATTITUDE
It’s the ideal
Her father said its best
to breastfeed. He just kept going on and on about it
Natural
I just stuck at it despite the pain. I absolutely was not
going to give up
In the special care baby unit they tell you you have to if you baby is
going to survive
There was never any chance of me not
giving it ago It’s the best start you can give
them
There are so many
benefits for the baby
It helps development, improves their
immune system, helps you bond with
them..
21
EXPERIENCE OF BREASTFEEDING
Experience of breastfeeding varies• Some have already decided not to breastfeed
– Bring bottle feeding equipment to hospital
• Some try at hospital or at home but do not continue because:– Too difficult– Forceps delivery – baby’s jaw swelled– Uncomfortable (physically and embarrassing)– They feel too tired– Their milk does not come in quickly enough– Their mother or partner takes over– Their immediate priority is to go home / leave hospital– Breastfeeding is not a significant enough goal
22
EXPERIENCE OF BREASTFEEDING
• Some try and succeed but then stop breastfeeding before 6-8 week period because:– Milk dries up– They develop mastitis– Their breasts become too painful– They feel their baby is not getting enough – They are not satisfied with the way their baby is
feeding/sleeping
• Of these women some were upset not to be able to continue, others seemed to have lower levels of motivation to continue– More prepared/relieved to accept bottle feeding– Sometimes encouraged by other family members to
introduce bottle feeding
23
EXPERIENCE OF BREASTFEEDING
• Some continue past the 6-8 week period– Expected it to be hard– All talk about personal difficulty and perseverance– Strong desire to succeed pushes them on– Supported and praised by family and partner
24
SUMMARY
• There are strong attitudinal barriers – disgust, embarrassment, unfamiliarity, not significantly better than formula
• And significant lifestyle barriers – want others helpThese prevent women trying or trying in a
motivated way• Also, amongst less successful breast feeders, there
is also less acceptance of any breastfeeding difficulty and lower motivation to preserve
Seems to be a more defeatist attitude amongst those who try but do not make it to 6/8 weeks
25
PERCEIVED BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDING
26
BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDINGAll women interviewed are aware that there
are health benefits for a breastfed baby
At least:
• General health benefit, ‘it helps them develop’, ‘it’s good for them’, ‘it’s healthy’
• And often also:– Good for their immune
system/helps fight infection
At most
• Detailed health benefit for baby– Lessens chance of getting
eczema, asthma, diabetes, ear and chest infections or being an obese adult
– Improves digestive health
• Some awareness of benefits for mother
• Is a complete and perfect food for baby
27
BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDINGAdditionally there is some awareness of
other benefits
• Bonding– Feeling close to and connecting with your child– Being important to your child
• Mother’s appearance– Maintain larger breasts– Lose weight (either easily or steadily)
• Convenience– No making bottles up– Free– Always available
• Natural birth control
28
BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDING
Those with a more positive attitude have more extensive knowledge of the
benefits.
Those with the more negative attitude can be unaware of extended benefits but
even when made aware they can reject some claims as unbelievable, less
motivating and ultimately do not find that the positives overcome the
negatives.
29
BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDINGBy those with a negative attitude to
breastfeeding, some claims are rejected as being too long term or too difficult to believe
• Less likely to become an obese adult – Hard to see cause and effect
• Likely to be more intelligent– Rejected as rubbish, they believe intelligence is inherited
• Lessens chance of getting eczema, asthma, diabetes – Again seen as inherited conditions that can be influenced by
lifestyle but not by breastfeeding
• Prevention of cancer in mother– Hard to believe in connection – And can feel invincible
Persuasive suspicion of ‘government’ claims
30
BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDINGOther claims are less motivating for rejectors• Free
– They often have tokens for formula– Also focussing on this makes an unwelcome association with
poverty
• Bonding – This does appeal but they can believe they will bond anyway
• Convenience – This not significant to outweigh embarrassment
• Get your figure back– Can be highly motivating– Can be irrelevant for some who lost weight very quickly
anyway
• Natural birth control– Few believe or would trust
31
BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDINGThese mums that reject breastfeeding do love
and care for their babies, but the benefits for the child are tempered by concerns for
themselves and lack of belief that formula is significantly inferior
• Claims do not overcome negatives of breastfeeding– Disgust – Embarrassment– Unfamiliar/inappropriate for me– Sole provider of food
• Or the positives of formula– Modern– Designed for baby– Other can help– Appropriate and socially acceptable
32
SUMMARY
Benefit
• Best start - Great for baby’s immune system and development
• ….Only for a short time
• Secondary messages:– Better than formula
Bonding – importance of mum
– Back to sexy self
For people like you:
• Youthful
• Attractive
• Not embarrassing
• Discrete
• In control
• Modern
KEY OBJECTIVES TO COMMUNICATE
33
INFLUENCE OF PARTNERS, FRIENDS AND GRANDMOTHERS
34
FAMILY AND PEER INFLUENCE
Rejection of breastfeeding can be compounded and encouraged by friends,
partners and grandmothers
However all also can be potentially positive influencers
35
INFLUENCE OF DADS
The main focus of negativity amongst dads is embarrassment
• Nervous that the mother will embarrass them– Will she do it in public?– Will my friends see her breasts?
• Reinforced by a sense of inappropriateness– ‘boobs are not for babies’– Bordering on paedophilia– ‘people don’t do that round here’
• They are not worried that breastfeeding would get in the way of sex
36
INFLUENCE OF DADS
Most ultimately see their role as secondary and adopt a ‘it’s up to you’ attitude to parenting
• However, can be highly influential re breastfeeding
• Can persuade mother to at least attempt breastfeeding
• Or their distaste /desire to be included can become a major reason for the mother to reject
• Some women also claim that they felt the need to involve their partner to retain their interest in the child
37
INFLUENCE OF DADS
• An engaged first time father can be a willing recipient of any information and a strong positive influence on the mother
• Also mums can feel the need for help in turning down their partners request for them not to bottle feed
38
COMMS FOR DADSLiterature aimed at fathers could be
motivating. Key messages include:
• Encouraging breastfeeding is about looking after the health of your child
• Giving your child the best start in life
• Supporting your partner in her decision to breastfeed
• Illustrating that it can be done discretely
• Emphasising that even a short time can be beneficial, and it won’t be long until you can feed the child too
• There are other ways to feel close to your child
39
INFLUENCE OF GRANDMOTHERS
Generally supportive of daughters choice• Split between an ‘it’s up to you’ and a ‘why
make it harder on yourself’ mentality • Often didn’t breastfeed themselves
– But can endorse benefits
• Can want to be involved/take over– Especially when daughter very young
• Shopping for stuff is part of the fun preparing for a new baby– Conversations with daughters during pregnancy can be
limited to shopping and names– Buying bottle feeding equipment is a fun part of
preparation
40
INFLUENCE OF GRANDMOTHERS
Less significant for a campaign to influence grandmothers
• Mums to be often prepared to go against opinion of their own mother
• But hard to reject help, especially with late night feeds
41
INFLUENCE OF FRIENDS
When friends have no or unsuccessful experience of breastfeeding their influence can be strongly negative
• Strong influencers in the negative– If have no children often find breastfeeding distasteful– If have children and did not want to breastfeed encourage
friend to behave in the same way they did – If tried and failed quick to point out negatives and
difficulties
• Hardest to influence – No access to literature
Likely to be influenced as mothers themselves as much as friends
42
SUMMARY
• Dads are a good secondary target for a local social marketing campaign
• Friends need to be influenced either as mums or at an earlier age – junior school
• Mums are significant, but more willing to accept daughters choice

45
MIDWIFE AND HEALTH VISITORS
• Midwives and Health visitors tend to believe in the benefits of breastfeeding, but have different levels of emphasis on its importance– Ranging from strong encouragement– To a ‘it’s not for everyone’ attitude
• Midwives and Health visitors have a good understanding of mums attitudinal and lifestyle barriers to breastfeeding– Although they can underestimate the levels of disgust
• Also have the best opportunity to discuss benefits of breastfeeding in detail– NB some parents do not read ANY of the literature given to
them
46
MIDWIFE AND HEALTH VISITORS
Midwives and health visitor can make negative assumptions
• Midwives– Can assume pregnant women decide before first meeting
that they do not want to breastfeed and can not be influenced
– Believe some women fain interest in BF to please midwife– Can believe it is futile to try to convert BF rejectors– Underestimate the amount of ‘wavering’ that can go on
• Health visitors– Can believe that for some women it is not the best option– Can feel that breastfeeding status has negative impact on
BF take up as mums are forced to bring own formula in advance
47
MIDWIFE AND HEALTH VISITOR ROLE
Additionally, mums can feel their experience of Health Visitors and
Midwives is negative:
• Expect to be criticised or lectured
• Adopt a pre-emptive defensive attitude
• Can feel that the professional is alien to their life and community
• Can feel that different professionals offer very different approaches and advice
48
MIDWIFE AND HEALTH VISITORS
Crucially when trying to encourage women to breastfeed and to continue to
breastfeed Midwives and Health Visitors recommend the following:
• Strong praise for any attempts
• Don’t overwhelm with long targets e.g. 6 months, or even 6 weeks – adopt an every feed is a benefit/day by day approach
• Recognition that breastfeeding is difficult, including less weight gain in baby
49
MIDWIFE AND HEALTH VISITORS
There is an opportunity for midwives and health visitors to increase uptake and prolong breastfeeding by covering the
following:
• To discuss potential discretion in breastfeeding
• To address embarrassment head on
• To help mums focus beyond the birth
• To give literature to the dad
50
MUMS SUPPORTERS
Involved but somewhat frustrated
• Very pro breastfeeding
• Less pragmatic in approach
• Critical of Health Visitors approach– BF presented as exceptional not normal– Introduction of top up feeds disapproved of– Believe HVs resistant to passing clients on to them
• Want more emphasis on negatives of formula
51
YOUNG MUMS TO BE CLUBS
• Additionally mums talk positively about the influence of Young Mums clubs– Gaining household management skills– NVQs in child care– Including modules on benefits of breastfeeding
52
INFLUENCE OF GPs
GP hadn’t seen breastfeeding encouragement as part of her role
• Most contact with mums is at 6 weeks – Too late to intervene– Focus of conversation is on contraceptive advice
• Most distance from reality of situation in area– Believe majority of women breastfeed– And many gave up because it was difficult and tied them
down too much
Breastfeeding not on her agenda
53
INFLUENCE OF SURE START AND SOCIAL WORKERS
• Sure Start – saw the whole discussion of breastfeeding as embarrassing and inappropriate – preferred to discuss housing and baby massage– Feel able to hand out leaflets but little else
• Social Worker – uncomfortable with too much lifestyle intervention, felt had more serious issues to contend with– Breastfeeding is not part of their remit
54
SUMMARY
• There is potential for midwives and health visitors to be more optimistic about their influence on young mums
• The whole campaign can learn from their small steps and praise everything approach
• There is also an opportunity to remind peripheral health professionals of their potential impact and that broader support services at least understand the value of breastfeeding and do not themselves hold this embarrassed attitude
55
DEVELOPING A CAMPAIGN
56
THE CAMPAIGN AS ONE ELEMENT
• Rejection of breastfeeding is an entrenched problem which requires a medium and long term approach
• A local social marketing campaign forms one element in broader mix.

60
KEY MESSAGES
The most important reason to breastfeed is the benefits for the baby’s health
• Breastfeeding helps protect babies against infections, stomach problems, asthma, eczema and diabetes
• Breastfeeding helps babies develop a strong immune system and can prevent them getting allergies
• Breastfeeding helps babies develop healthily
• NB. More detailed, long term or mother health focussed messages can be rejected
61
KEY MESSAGES
However, the message that brings this within reach is ‘even for a short time’, ‘just for two
weeks’• Overcomes some of the embarrassment / fear –
won’t have to do it in public• Counters some of the practical worries, other
people won’t be able to help or join in, it might hurt or be difficult
It is up for debate as to whether this element of the campaign can be overt –i.e. a central part of the comms proposition or whether it has to be a covert support – presented by
professionals
62
TONE OF VOICE/VISUAL STYLE
The visual style and images need to present breastfeeding as socially acceptable and
desirable
• The women are put off by current images of breast feeding. These are not women they aspire to can reinforce the embarrassing image
• Ideally images should show:– Attractive, sexy, slim, with big breasts– Youthful, modern– Able to breastfeed discretely but also shown not breastfeeding– In control
Countering the disgust and otherness of breastfeeding
63
ADDITIONAL MESSAGES
Additional messages can be used in specific executions or as greater depth of text
within leaflets• Breast Milk is better than formula – it has
smaller molecules than formula which means it is easier for the baby to digest and the baby can use all the goodness in it– Care should be taken not to knock formula too aggressively
or the message can be rejected altogether
• Be the most important person in the world for your baby– Some young mums desire to have a baby to have someone
to love and love them, this claim plays to this existing need
64
ADDITIONAL MESSAGES
Getting back to your sexy self is highly appealing to some mums
• Their slim bodies and attractive appearance can be very important to them
• Getting back to their former lives and getting control of their bodies is highly desirable
• However, few report any difficulty in losing weight post birth
• Several report trouble losing weight too quickly
65
MESSAGES REINFORCED BY PROFESSIONALS
Some messages could be reinforced or introduced by professionals
• How breastfeeding can be done discretely
• The negatives of formula – especially to those wavering
• How even a short time can be very beneficial for baby
• It won’t necessarily be easy
• Don’t worry about less baby weight gain
• Cheapness and convenience
66
COMMS FOR DADSLiterature aimed at fathers could be
motivating. Key messages include:• Encouraging breastfeeding is about looking
after the health of your child• Giving your child the best start in life• Supporting your partner in her decision to
breastfeed• Illustrating that it can be done discretely• Emphasising that even a short time can be
beneficial, and it won’t be long until you can feed the child too
• There are other ways to feel close to your child
67
MEDIAAs one element in a broader campaign, a local
campaign could cover various media
• Posters at significant venues– Health clinics, midwife units, mother and baby centres– Inc colleges and schools, pub toilets– + signs demonstrating breastfeeding friendly venues
• Posters on bus stops
• Leaflets for mums– Visual, not text heavy– Separate leaflets for benefits and encouragement vs. how to.
• A DVD to watch pre birth – Showing the benefits and how to
• Leaflets for dads– Emphasising discrete way breastfeeding can be done– How great it is for the child
68
OTHER STRANDS TO A CAMPAIGN
• Important to introduce the idea that breastfeeding is appropriate for all
• Influence female peers
• Counter the ‘we don’t do that round here’ – practical support and encouragement
• Public display of breastfeeding approval via ‘breastfeeding friendly’ locations
