The Health-e Babies App for antenatal education: Feasibility for socially disadvantaged women.

Background: The use of mobile technology such as phone applications (apps) has been proposed as an efficient means of providing health and clinical information in a variety of healthcare settings. We developed the Health-e Babies app as an Android smart phone application for pregnant women attending a tertiary hospital in a low socio-economic community, with the objective of providing health information about early pregnancy that would increase maternal confidence and reduce anxiety. Based on our earlier research, this form of health communication was viewed as a preferred source of information for women of reproductive age.

Factors associated with domperidone use as a galactogogue at an Australian tertiary teaching hospital.

Background: Insufficient milk supply is 1 of the most commonly reported reasons for discontinuation of infant breastfeeding. Although domperidone is often used to improve milk supply, knowledge of factors associated with the use of domperidone in clinical practice is scarce.

Objective: This study aimed to examine factors associated with the use of domperidone as a galactogogue at the Women's and Children's Hospital (WCH), Adelaide.
