“…The relationship between parity and birth order and breastfeeding has been found to be inconsistent among previous studies [28] [29] [30]. While some workers [28] [29] reported that primiparous mothers were more likely to initiate EBF timely and more likely to continue breastfeeding; other researchers documented the reverse, pointing that multiparity was significantly associated with early/correct initiation and sustained breastfeeding possibly from their past experiences [28] [30], while Ekstrom et al [31] and Guo and co-workers [32] found no associations.…”

Background: The importance of early breastfeeding initiation to both the mother and infant is enormous as it reduces the likelihood of neonatal mortality as well as maternal postpartum haemorrhage. The objectives of the study were to assess the prevalence and determinants of correct breastfeeding initiation time among newborns delivered at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu. Methods: This was a cross sectional descriptive study. Relevant maternal and newborn birth characteristics were obtained using a pretested semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the factors that are significantly associated with correct breastfeeding initiation time with the level of significance set at p < 0.05. Results: A total of 321 mother-newborn pairs were studied. 86 (26.8%) of the respondents correctly initiated breastfeeding within 1 hour of delivery. Planned pregnancy, pre-pregnancy decision on infant feeding options, primiparity, vaginal delivery and breast milk as first food given to the neonate post-delivery were associated with increased likelihood of correct breastfeeding initiation time. Conclusion: Correct breastfeeding initiation time among respondents is low. Planned pregnancy, pre-pregnancy decision on infant feeding option before pregnancy, primiparity, vaginal delivery and breast milk as first food given to the neonate after delivery were associated with having correct breastfeeding How to cite this paper:

“…Some studies found that multiparous women were more likely to breastfeed and for longer [ 18 , 43 ]. However, some other studies found no association [ 44 , 45 ]; some reported the opposite association that primiparous mothers were more likely to initiate exclusive breastfeeding at discharge [ 46 ], or more likely to continue breastfeeding [ 47 ].…”

Breastfeeding Determinants in Healthy Term Newborns

et al. 2018

Breastfeeding is the normative standard for infant feeding. Despite its established benefits, different factors can affect breastfeeding rates over time. The purpose of this study was to evaluate breastfeeding determinants in healthy term newborns during the first three months of life. A prospective, observational, single-center study was conducted in the nursery of Fondazione IRCCS Ca’ Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico in Milan, Italy. The mother-baby dyads that were admitted to the Clinic in January and February 2017 were enrolled. Only healthy term babies with birth weight ≥10th percentile for gestational age were included. Data were collected through medical records and questionnaires administered during the follow-up period. Then, we fitted univariate and multivariate logistic models and calculated odds ratios. 746 dyads were included but 640 completed the study. The factors found to be favoring breastfeeding were a previous successful breastfeeding experience, a higher level of education of the mother, attending prenatal classes, no use of pacifier, rooming in practice, and breastfeeding on demand. Factors acting negatively on breastfeeding were advanced maternal age, non-spontaneous delivery, perception of low milk supply, mastitis, and nipple fissures. This study highlights the need to individualize the assistance provide to breastfeeding mothers, paying special attention to personal experiences.

“…Some studies found that multiparous significantly associated with longer EBF ( Kaneko et al, 2006 , Forde and Miller, 2010 , Lande et al, 2003 , Amin et al, 2011 ) which are consistent with the present finding. However, some studies in Sweden ( Ekström et al, 2003 ) and China ( Guo et al, 2013 ) found no association while some reported the opposite association that primiparous mothers were more likely to initiate EBF at discharge ( Forde and Miller, 2010 , Hundalani et al, 2013 ) or more likely to continue breastfeeding ( Ever-Hadani et al, 1994 , Tarrant et al, 2010 ).…”

“…Notably, in the previous studies, the effects of maternal age on EBF practice are inconsistent ( Kaneko et al, 2006 , Lande et al, 2003 , Senarath et al, 2010 , Forde and Miller, 2010 , Fisher et al, 2013 , Ludvigsson and Ludvigsson, 2005 , Hundalani et al, 2013 , Amin et al, 2011 , Ekström et al, 2003 , Guo et al, 2013 ). Some studies were targeted at early cessation of breastfeeding among younger mothers ( Avery et al, 1998 , Akter and Rahman, 2010 , Hauck et al, 2011 , Liu et al, 2013 ).…”

Maternal age at first childbirth has increased in most developed countries in the past 20 years. The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of maternal age at delivery and parity on successful initiation of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). This retrospective study investigated 1193 singleton dyads with vaginal-delivered at 37–42 gestational weeks during January and December in 2011 at one large “Baby-Friendly” certified hospital in Japan. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to evaluate individual and combined effects of maternal age and parity on successful initiation of EBF after adjusted for pre-pregnancy body mass index, gestational weight gain, pregnancy complications, mothers' underlying illness, smoking and alcohol drinking habits, gestational week at delivery, child's sex and nurturing support from grandparents. Success rates of EBF at one month after child delivery was 69.4% in primiparous aged ≥ 35 (group A: n = 284), 73.5% in multiparous aged ≥ 35 (group B: n = 268), 74.3% in primiparous aged < 35 (group C: n = 432), and 82.3% in multiparous aged < 35 (group D: n = 209). Older maternal age and primiparous became independently associated with EBF initiation. The combined effect for successful initiation of EBF was the lowest in group A referent to group D both at discharge and at one month (odds ratio (OR) 5.9, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.0–11.9, and OR 2.2, 95% CI: 1.4–3.4, respectively). Primiparous mothers in late child-bearing aged 35 years or older are at the greatest risk of EBF initiation.
