“…Finally, the mothers' factors included the education level, age at the child's birth, hospital delivery status and number of postpartum visits, as well as whether the mother cooked for the child alone and was given informational breast-feeding materials. We selected the control variables based on the following considerations: (i) whether these aforementioned factors affected the breastfeeding of the children (a factor that was primarily based on related studies (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) ); and (ii) how these variables differed between the participants across ethnicities, which was determined by data analysis.…”

Objective: To determine the breast-feeding pattern of four main ethnic groups (the Han, Uygur, Tibetan and Zhuang) living in rural western China. Design: The study utilized a cross-sectional design. Setting: Forty-five counties in ten provinces in western China in 2005. Subjects: A sample of 11 783 children younger than 36 months old (8960 Han, 1281 Uygur, 792 Tibetan and 750 Zhuang) and their mothers were recruited using a stratified, multistage, cluster random sampling method. Results: The rates of exclusive breast-feeding of children at 6 months of age in the Han, Uygur, Tibetan and Zhuang ethnic groups were 11·6 %, 0·8 %, 4·4 % and 13·8 %, respectively. The rates of any breast-feeding for children at 24 months of age were 8·5 %, 25·7 %, 3·0 % and 4·3 % in the four ethnic groups, respectively. After adjusting for related factors, Zhuang children had a higher odds ratio of exclusive breast-feeding to 6 months compared with Han children, whereas Uygur and Tibetan children had lower odds ratio (Zhuang: OR = 1·291; 95 % CI 1·006, 1·657; Uugur: OR = 0·062; 95 % CI 0·032, 0·121; Tibetan: OR = 0·323; 95 % CI 0·220, 0·475). Uygur children had a lower hazard ratio of discontinued breast-feeding compared with Han children, whereas Tibetan children had a higher hazard ratio (Uygur: HR = 0·368; 95 % CI 0·333, 0·408; Tibetan: HR = 1·366; 95 % CI 1·244, 1·500). Conclusions: The breast-feeding pattern differed among the Han, Uygur, Tibetan and Zhuang ethnic groups. The results suggest that health education regarding the benefits of breast-feeding is needed in rural western China.

“…Quanto às variáveis obstétricas, há evidências de que o AM, e a sua duração, está associado: ao tipo de parto, crianças nascidas por cesariana eletiva apresentam risco de ser desmamadas precocemente (VIEIRA ET AL., 2015); aos nascimentos em hospitais que cumprem os Dez Passos para o Sucesso do Aleitamento Materno, onde se incentivam a amamentação, por meio da promoção, proteção e apoio ao aleitamento materno, e, de modo geral, aumentam a probabilidade de elas se manterem em Aleitamento Materno Exclusivo (AME) por mais tempo (MARGOTTI; EPIFANIO, 2014;PASSANHA ET AL., 2015;VIEIRA ET AL., 2015); ao número de filhos anteriores, pois a primiparidade está frequentemente associada à prática de desmame precoce (SALUSTIANO;DINIZ;ABDALLAH, 2012;SOUZA ET AL., 2012) que é um dos fatores de desnutrição e de altas taxas de mortalidade infantil (PRIMO;AMORIM;LIMA, 2004); ao número de consultas de pré-natal, pois mostram associação significativa com AME (ASEMAHAGN, 2016); ao apoio paterno no ato de amamentar, visto que o pai tem grande destaque no suporte e influência na decisão da mulher em amamentar e na sua continuidade (SALVADOR, 2012;SILVA;SANTIAGO;LAMONIER, 2012;TEWABE ET AL., 2017), e ao escore da Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES), onde escores mais elevados obtidos por meio da Escala de Autoeficácia na Amamentação estão associados à amamentação exclusiva (GLASSMAN ET AL., 2014;MARGOTTI;EPIFANIO, 2014 união estável entre os pais (FROTA ET AL., 2016); mães com renda melhor são mais propensas a praticar AME e tendem a amantar mais seus filhos (TEWABE ET AL., 2017).…”

“…7,15 Of the few longitudinal studies, most are focused on either maternal or hospital factors. 9,12,16 Rarely is there a study that examines systematically how maternal psychosocial attributes and hospital practices influence breastfeeding behaviors over time. 8 Extant research has also largely ignored the impact of health literacy on breastfeeding practices.…”

Continuity of breastfeeding is infrequent and indeterminate. Evidence is lacking regarding factors associated with breastfeeding at different postpartum time points. This prospective study investigated the change in, and correlates of, breastfeeding practices after delivery at a hospital and at 1, 3, and 6 months postpartum among first-time mothers. We followed a cohort of 300 primiparous mothers of Taiwan who gave birth at two hospitals during 2010-2011. Logistic and Cox regression analyses were performed to determine factors that were correlated with breastfeeding practices. In the study sample, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding during the hospital stay was 66%; it declined to 37.5% at 1 month and 30.2% at 3 months postpartum. Only 17.1% of women reported continuing breastfeeding at 6 months. Early initiation of breastfeeding, rooming-in practice, and self-efficacy were significantly related to exclusive breastfeeding during the hospital stay. After discharge, health literacy, knowledge, intention, and self-efficacy were positively and significantly associated with breastfeeding exclusivity. Later initiation (hazard ratio=1.53; 95% confidence interval, 1.05, 1.97), shorter intention (hazard ratio=1.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.13, 1.68), and self-efficacy (hazard ratio=0.98; 95% confidence interval, 0.96, 0.99) were important predictors of breastfeeding cessation within 6 months of delivery. Continuous breastfeeding practice for 6 months is challenging and difficult for new mothers. Results showed that factors related to breastfeeding varied over time after delivery. Interventions seeking to sustain breastfeeding should consider new mothers' needs and barriers at different times.

Impact of Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy and Sociocultural Factors on Early Breastfeeding in an Urban, Predominantly Dominican Community

Abstract: Breastfeeding self-efficacy was the sole, modifiable factor associated with exclusive breastfeeding. Efforts to improve breastfeeding self-efficacy may serve to support breastfeeding in this population.
