METHODS This is a randomized controlled clinical trial carried out on 124 mothers with premature infants hospitalized in Fatemieh Hospital, city of Hamadan, in 2014. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control groups. The initial demographic questionnaire carried out in both groups included three questions about the continuation of exclusive breastfeeding, BASNEF, a checklist related to the lactation performance documented by mothers and the weight gain of their infants. Five breastfeeding consultation sessions based on the BASNEF model and counselling steps using GATHER, were held for the mothers in the intervention group for five consecutive days. Then follow-up weight gain and the questionnaire completion were performed in both groups at 1, 2, 3 and 4 months after the intervention. RESULTS Baseline characteristics were similar in the two groups. There were no significant differences between both groups in the rate of exclusive breastfeeding, lactation performance and infant weight at baseline. The intervention group had significantly higher rates of exclusive breastfeeding, 72.6% versus the control group of 16.1%, at the end of the 4 month follow-up. Also the intervention group had significantly higher mean scores of lactation performance (8.62 ± 2.08 vs 6.40 ± 1.84 in the control group) and infant weight (5694.80 ± 779.43 vs 4760.17 ± 859.12 in the control group) at the end of the 4 month follow-up. CONCLUSION Breastfeeding consultation of mothers based on the BASNEF model and using GATHER counselling steps increased the rate of exclusive breastfeeding, lactation performance and weight gain of premature infants. Therefore, breastfeeding counselling sessions are recommended for all mothers of premature infants.
