Diseño y desarrollo de una plataforma basada en sitio web y contenido digital audiovisual para el fortalecimiento de un programa de educación en lactancia materna.

Abstract

Breastfeeding is the process by which the mother feeds her newborn child through her breasts. This should be the baby's main food until at least two years of age. This provides young children with the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development. Inadequate breastfeeding practices contribute to a higher burden of high-impact diseases in the maternal and child population. In Colombia only 36.1% of children receive exclusive breastfeeding, a figure lower than other Latin countries. Lack of knowledge on the part of mothers is the main cause of poor breastfeeding practices. For this reason, the Breastfeeding School of the University of Cartagena offers free education on BF to low-income mothers. To fulfill this mission more efficiently and effectively, educational tools are required to strengthen your program. The construction of audiovisual material with its own content and easy access through a web platform will contribute to the strengthening of this program and the dissemination of this knowledge with greater coverage.
