Las clínicas de lactancia materna tienen como objetivo aumentar la duración de la lactancia materna y disminuir las dificultades durante la lactancia materna. El impacto en el aumento en la duración y experiencia satisfactoria de lactancia materna en las mujeres que usan estas clínicas es desconocido. Este estudio observacional evaluó el impacto de las intervenciones en la duración y experiencia satisfactoria de lactancia materna entre mujeres que experimentaban dificultades de lactancia materna en una Clínica de Lactancia materna en la ciudad de Québec en comparación con mujeres que no recibieron servicios en la clínica. El estudio encuestó 86 mujeres a través de cuestionarios telefónicos y entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Después de hacer un análisis logístico de regresión ajustado, las mujeres que fueron a la clínica tenían mayor probabilidad de lactancia materna al menos 6 meses (OR = 4.34, 95% CI = 1.35-13.96) que las mujeres del grupo de comparación. Ellas también tenían mas probabilidad de estar satisfechas con la experiencia de lactancia materna (OR = 4.17; 95% CI = 1.31-13.22). Apoyo físico y moral puede explicar esta influencia. Es necesario hacer estudios más extensos en clínicas de lactancia materna para confirmar su papel en aumentar la duración y satisfacción de lactancia materna.
