“…breastfeeding initiation, indicating that women who decide to breastfeed during early pregnancy are likely to initiate lactation after birth. Brodribb, Fallon, Hegney, and O'Brien (2007) reported that the women in their study decided whether or not to breastfeed before or in early pregnancy, and their decisions were based on baby-or mother-centered factors. The baby-centered factor most frequently reported was concern for infant health.…”

“…The baby-centered factor most frequently reported was concern for infant health. Mother-centered factors included either a preference to bottle-feed for convenience or a dislike of breastfeeding because of the reasons that included inconvenience, social barriers, or work-related barriers (Brodribb et al, 2007). Sociocultural, environmental, and personal factors are influential in a woman's decision to breastfeed.…”

Although breastfeeding is known to be beneficial to both mother and infant, many women encounter barriers to breastfeeding, even after successful breastfeeding initiation, which may put them at greater risk for early cessation of breastfeeding. The objectives of this study were to conduct a secondary analysis of data from a longitudinal study of postpartum depression to (a) examine factors related to very early discontinuation of breastfeeding (at 2 weeks postpartum) following hospital discharge and (b) identify women's reasons for very early cessation of breastfeeding. The results of this study support findings from previous research. Having a perceived support system, whether it is personal or professional, may have an effect on both the initiation and duration of breastfeeding. Educating expectant and new mothers, especially women who encounter multiple barriers and are at risk for very early cessation of breastfeeding, of the benefits of breastfeeding and supporting them in developing efficient techniques and problem-solving skills can help increase the duration of breastfeeding.

“…First, the women perceived that breast feeding is something 'natural', but did not indicate that latching was an 'easy' practice, as conversely reported by Hauck and Reinbold (1996). Moreover, the mothers perceived breast milk as ideal nourishment for their babies (Brodribb et al, 2007;Bai et al, 2009). In particular, colostrum was identified as very nutritive.…”

“…Mothers must be motivated to breastfeed to overcome physical and emotional distress that may occur when nourishing their babies (Kelleher, 2006;Forster et al, 2008;Hegney et al, 2008;Meedya et al, 2010). The thought that their personal milk is superior has been suggested to promote a high level of motivation to breastfeed (Brodribb et al, 2007), while qualitative studies have documented that breast feeding can differ from the expectations of the mother (Shakespeare et al, 2004). Breast feeding can be painful and physically exhausting and cause emotional distress (Kelleher, 2006).…”
