“…Similar to the results of our study, two different studies showed that low economic status of the family increased the maternal thought that their milk was insufficient and shortened the duration of breastfeeding (9,10). Although it was reported that the duration of breastfeeding was longer in families with lower income in the studies performed in our country, no information about insufficient milk supply was given (21,22,23).…”

SummaryAim: This study was conducted to determine problems in lactation and risk factors affecting breastfeeding. Material and Method: This descriptive study was conducted with mothers who had children aged 24-60 months and who presented for any reason to Family Healthcare Centers of two Public Healthcare Centers in Kayseri province. The study was performed with 500 mothers who gave a verbal consent and a questionnaire was used to collect data. Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine Clinical Research Ethics Committee (2011/20) the approval and verbal consent was obtained from the mothers. Results: The mean age of the mothers was 29.8±5.3 years, while the mean age of the children was 35.7±10.0 months. 38,6% of the children were born by cesarean section, 8.8% had low birth weight and their mean breastfeeding period was 17.7±8.0 months. The main breastfeeding problems included painful and cracked nipples (46.0%), inadequate lactating (34.2%), excessive lactating (29.8%), flat or inverted nipples (11.6%), mastitis (9.2%), extreme-fullness of the breast (9.0%) and plugged milk ducts (8.2%). Being housewife, moderate and low income status, caesarean delivery, low birth weight and less than 8 lactations a day were the risk factors for inadequate lactating. A maternal age younger than 25 years old, caesarean delivery, premature delivery, less than 8 lactations a day were the risk factors for painful or cracked nipples. The median exclusive breastfeeding duration and total lactation time of the mothers who had concerns about inadequate lactating were significantly lower than the others. The total lactation time of the mothers who had flat and inverted nipples was also shorter. Conclusions: Lactation problems are observed with a high rate. Awareness of the healthcare professionals and supports given by them may reduce these problems. (Turk Arch Ped 2013; 48: 145-151)

“…Cultural barriers still exist, although it appears that minority groups and cultures outside the UK have higher initiation and duration rates (Ingram et al 2008, Karacam 2008. Research needs to be expanded to incorporate the culturally diverse requirements of women from minority groups and perhaps those marginalised by society (Ingram et al 2008, Karacam 2007).…”

“…In particular young mothers wanted educational sessions to be delivered by supporters with sufficient knowledge and expertise; however would still prefer access to a health professional for more theoretical and other health related issues (Ingram et al 2008). Karacam (2008) suggested women with a higher educational status or who were in employment were more likely to initiate breastfeeding practices and feed exclusively for longer, no major discussion around this area was found in the other studies; although the level of education in groups of young mothers was indicated in the research carried out by Ingram et al (2008).…”

“…In our study, a correlation has been found between the maternal education year and breastfeeding duration. A significant relation between the maternal education year and the consciousness level has been confirmed in many studies as well (37,38,39,40) . According to our study, children whose mothers were more educated had fewer infections.…”

Background-Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the antibiotic use rates, breastfeeding duration in children aged 24-72 months and the frequency of upper respiratory tract infections in the advancing years of life. Methods: It was interviewed through face to face survey method with the parents of 283 children, who applied to Istanbul Province Okmeydani Training-Research Hospital and Bingöl-Adakli District Integrated Hospital between the dates of May and July 2014. Results: It was determined that children of highly educated mothers had fewer infections and were breastfed for a longer time. The annual numbers of infections had by the children evaluated under this study, and the boxes of antibiotics used are respectively 4.6+2.4 and 3.0+1.8 in average. Children who had 8 times or more infections annually were accepted as the ones frequently having infections, and two groups were created. The average breastfeeding duration in frequent infections was 10.9+8.8 months, while it was 15.8+7.0 months for children that had infections occasionally (p<0,005). The possibility of having infection was increasing 17 times when mother and father were both smokers (OR: 17.2; p<0,0001). Conclusion: It was determined that long-term breastfed children had fewer infections in the advancing years of their lives; mother's education level affected the breastfeeding duration and the incidence of infections, and children with smoker parents had more infections.
