Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Our primary study outcome is successful breastfeeding (purely breastfeeding, no supplements). Successful breastfeeding is considered as a perfect surrogate outcome measure for health benefits of mother and newborn in the short and long term. Meta-analyses show that breastfeeding protects children against health infections, improves childs' intelligence and possibly reduces chances of obesity and diabetes. Furthermore, breastfeeding also protects women against breast cancer and ovarian cancer and diabetes type 2. It is even stated that worldwide breastfeeding initiatives can reduce thousands of deaths among children under 5years and prevent thousands of deaths due to breastcancer among women.	—
