Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of white noise combined with breastfeeding guidance on the exclusive breastfeeding success rate, anxiety status, and lactation function in primiparous women with delayed lactation onset; neonatal stress levels; and infants' physical development.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 120 primiparous women with delayed lactation onset admitted to Zhejiang Hospital from January 2023 to June 2024. The women were divided into a combination group ( n = 60; conventional breastfeeding guidance + white noise measure) and a conventional group ( n = 60; only conventional breastfeeding guidance), with a 4-week nursing period for both groups. The related indicators were compared between the two groups, including exclusive breastfeeding rate, LATCH (Latch, Audible swallowing, Type of nipple, Comfort, Hold/Positioning) score, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score, lactation indices, neonatal stress scale (NSS) score, and infant growth.
Results: After nursing, the combination group had significantly higher exclusive breastfeeding rate ( P = 0.009) and LATCH score, lower SAS score, shorter lactation onset, and greater residual milk volume than the conventional group (all P < 0.001 except for the breastfeeding rate). The combination group had significantly lower neonatal stress scores and greater grains in weight, length, and head circumference at 4 weeks (all P < 0.001). The combined intervention independently predicted exclusive breastfeeding success (OR = 2.68, 95% CI 1.25-5.76) and was associated with lower SAS (β = -7.28, P = 0.002), lower NSS scores (β = -2.45, P < 0.001), and shorter lactation onset (β = -10.25, P < 0.001).
Conclusion: White noise combined with breastfeeding guidance can effectively improve the exclusive breastfeeding success rate and lactation function of primiparous women with delayed lactation onset, alleviate maternal anxiety, reduce neonatal stress levels, and promote infant physical development.

期刊介绍:
Noise and Health is the only International Journal devoted to research on all aspects of noise and its effects on human health. An inter-disciplinary journal for all professions concerned with auditory and non-auditory effects of occupational, environmental, and leisure noise. It aims to provide a forum for presentation of novel research material on a broad range of topics associated with noise pollution, its control and its detrimental effects on hearing and health. It will cover issues from basic experimental science through clinical evaluation and management, technical aspects of noise reduction systems and solutions to environmental issues relating to social and public health policy.
