Abstract

This presentation will explore the characteristics and contents of social media posts, illustrating how Facebook can be used to provide breastfeeding support in addition to learning and coping strategies in these online communities. In terms of breastfeeding support, social media is a relatively new method of providing that support. It is hoped that by focusing on the emergence of new technologies and adopting social media as a mainstream method of breastfeeding support, we can assist the current generation of breastfeeding families in response to new technologies and online worlds.
