Comparative Assessment of Exclusive Breastfeeding Rates From 24-Hour Recall and Since Birth Methods in Southwestern Pennsylvania Using Ecological Momentary Assessment

Comparative Assessment of Exclusive Breastfeeding Rates From 24-Hour Recall and Since Birth Methods in Southwestern Pennsylvania Using Ecological Momentary Assessment

Drs. Jill Demirci and Dara Mendez's study looked at 24-hour recall assessing exclusive breastfeeding was higher than the since birth rates across all ages and maternal characteristics.
