“…In the present study, the three maternal variables years of education, crystallized intelligence, and openness significantly correlated with duration of breastfeeding. These results support studies showing that a low number of years of maternal education resulted in a lack of breastfeeding (Bertini et al, 2003), breastfeeding mothers scored higher on an intelligence test (Morrow-Tlucak, Haude, & Ernhart, 1988), and openness and extraversion were significant predictors of breastfeeding (C. L. Wagner et al, 2006). Although we tested for mediating effects, breastfeeding remained the only significant predictor of children's DoG.…”

Terms of use: Documents inThe main result was that children's age and breastfeeding were significant predictors of DoG in children, even when we controlled for other influences such as maternal cognitive abilities and personality traits. We explain the result in the context of previous findings concerning attachment security, bonding, maternal sensitivity, children's self-regulation of energy intake, neuroscientific evidence, and breastfeeding. Further studies should use equivalent measures of DoG in children and parents and further explore this link between breastfeeding and DoG in a genetically sensitive design.

Focus groups were conducted with low-income, pregnant women and new mothers receiving services from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC program) along with their male partners and their mothers. All participants were Hispanics of Mexican American origin. The topics for the focus-group discussions were breastfeeding beliefs and perceptions. All participants were aware of the benefits of breastfeeding. Participants identified time, embarrassment, and pain as barriers to breastfeeding; discussed decision-making efforts regarding breastfeeding; identified cultural beliefs related to breastfeeding; and discussed the lack of care-provider support for breastfeeding.
