The Via Christi is modified LATCH & IBFAT; There is the IBFAT (Infant
Breastfeeding Assessment Tools) - Matthews; Maternal Breastfeeding
Evaluation Scale -30 Likert scale items that measure mom's eval of the
experience of breastfeeding-Leff; The MBA (Chris Mulford's 10 questions re
maternal & infant feeding behavior); BREASTS - Jan DeCoopman; FAIBP
(Functional Assessment of Infant Breastfeeding Patterns - Walker;
FAB -Shrago ; BSSES -Dennis; LATCH and so on. There are many individual
hospital systems in the CBI files, mostly done in the 90's.
There is a Review of the Psychometric Properties of Breastfeeding
Assessment Tools, Ho & McGrath, 2010, JOGNN, 39 (4), pp386-400, which
compares self report scales.
LATCH seems to be the one most often studied for hospital use. The articles
are mostly in JHL, JOGNN, & ABM. There is an interesting article in
Breastfeeding Abstracts (LLLI) 1995 , Vol 25 (1) by Jan Riordan which has a
comparison chart of LATCH, IBFAT, MBA, PIBSS & Via Christi.
Hopefully some people who actually use one of these systems will comment on
how the system works in their hospital. Pat in SNJ
