“…a pattern typical of newborn infants' feedings, every 2-3 hours (Meier et al, 2017). This is challenging for women, who find separation from their infants emotionally difficult, the frequent expressing tiring, and the overall process overwhelming (Yang et al, 2019). When women are incapacitated by illness, as may occur with COVID-19, they require assistance to express their milk.…”

“…In studies that evaluated the status of breastfeeding in babies who were born prematurely, with low birth weights and with health problems after birth, various results were reported. In a qualitative study conducted in China, it was determined that the mothers of babies who were born prematurely defined their breastfeeding experiences in the periods when they were separated from their babies as physically and mentally challenging 15 .In a study conducted by Sahin et al 16 it was determined that the low birth weight of babies increased the concern about insufficient milk secretion twofold. In a prospective cohort study, it was determined that being admitted to premature and newborn service affected the initiation of breastfeeding and breastfeeding period negatively 17 .…”

Objective:The health status at birth can affect infant's ability to start suckling and the breastfeeding process. The aim of this study is to compare the process of starting and continuing breastfeeding of healthy babies and infants born with health problems and also to evaluate the effect of health problems at birth on breastfeeding.Method: 460 mothers with infants between 6-24 months of age who admitted to the pediatric outpatient clinics were enrolled in the study.Results: It was found that 19.2% health problems at birth. Among healthy babies the rate of breastfeeding as first nutrition and breastfeeding in first hour after delivery was found to be 82% and 67% respectively. These rates were 49.5% and 32.3% in infants born with health problems, respectively (p <0.001). The rate of breastfeeding in healthy babies for the first six months of life was 39.9% and this rate was very low in babies born with health problems (23.2%) (p <0.001).It was found that 31.9% of infants born with health problems were feed by formula in the first month and 67% within six months. In the study, 59.9% of healthy babies and 39.6% of babies born with health problems continued to receive breast milk (p <0.001). Conclusions:It was found that being born with health problems delays the time to start breastfeeding, increases the risk of feeding with formula in the first month and in the first six months of age, and adversely affects the continuation of breastfeeding.

“…In the present study, maternity leave did not have a signi cant in uence on breastfeeding and EBF. Recent studies (4,18,19,24,28,29) show that the rate of breastfeeding and EBF rapidly decline when women return to work. Mothers on maternity leave had a higher prevalence of EBF than even mothers who were not working, which is in agreement with several studies (28, 30,31); this shows the protective effect of maternity leave on EBF for all infants younger than 6 months.…”

Background Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is essential for maternal and child health. Breast milk is considered the most appropriate food for children in the first years of life. Studies conducted in Cape Verde (1) show a prevalence of EBF below the recommended values (2). The determining factors of early weaning in the country are not known. The present study aims to estimate the prevalence of EBF and identify its determinants in Cape Verde. Method This is a cross-sectional, observational, quantitative, and analytical study. The study population consisted of mothers of children aged 2 years or younger who were users of health centers on the islands of Santo Antão, S. Vicente, Sal, Santiago, and Fogo. The chi-square test was used to evaluate the association between the duration of EBF and the variables maternity leave, maternal education, family income, and health care. A binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of the following variables as predictors of breastfeeding: maternal age, maternal education, marital status, family income, location of residence, pregnancy planning, prenatal care, number of prenatal visits, maternity leave, birth weight, breastfeeding in the first hour after delivery, parity, and breastfeeding counseling. Results A total of 1717 mothers aged between 13 and 49 years (Md = 26 years) were interviewed. Most were single (58.9%), had a secondary education (57%), were unemployed (59.3%), and resided in Santiago (35.7%). Breast milk being the best food for the baby/a developmental aid (33%) was the most prevalent reason for breastfeeding. The most cited reasons for stopping breastfeeding or never having breastfed were work (19.8%), insufficient milk (16%), and not liking to breastfeed (9.0%). At the time of data collection, 32.50% of the mothers had breastfed, and 49.2% continued to breastfeed exclusively but without reaching the 6 months necessary for breastfeeding to be considered EBF. Conclusion The prevalence of EBF in Cape Verde can be considered moderate. Maternal age, educational level, number of prenatal visits, and parity were significantly associated with breastfeeding. There was no significant relationship of maternity leave, maternal education, and family income with EBF. Receiving breastfeeding counseling was the only health care variable that was associated with the duration of EBF (p = 0.029).
