“…Previous breastfeeding experience and maternal age were independent significant predictors for breastfeeding intention and feeding choice in a similar study. 24 Furthermore, Trussel et al 25 found that children of women with higher parity tended to breastfeed the longest; those with seven or more children were twice as likely to breastfed their children as women with firstborn children.…”

“…Many studies have documented there are various factors associated with breastfeeding intention (Kavanagh, Lou, Nicklas, Habibi, & Murphy, 2012;McLnnes, Love, & Stone, 2001;Mitra et al, 2004;Persad & Mensinger, 2008). These factors include maternal age, education status, household income, parity, marital status, being breastfed before, mother's knowledge on the benefits of breastfeeding, mother's attitude towards breastfeeding and social support network received by mothers.…”

“…In this study breastfeeding intention was defined as the degree of confidence about practising optimal breastfeeding behaviour. Intention to breastfeed is closely related to early initiation to breastfeed and could also be a predictor of longer duration of breastfeeding (Tarrant, Younger, Sheridan-Pereira, White, & Kearney, 2010b).Many studies have documented there are various factors associated with breastfeeding intention (Kavanagh, Lou, Nicklas, Habibi, & Murphy, 2012;McLnnes, Love, & Stone, 2001;Mitra et al, 2004;Persad & Mensinger, 2008 Hamid, S.

Breastfeeding is linked to a number of health related benefits among infants. Breastfeeding provides the ideal nutrition for infants, by promoting a higher IQ and protecting against childhood and adult diseases. Despite these health benefits, the rates of exclusive breastfeeding are still low in Malaysia. Intention to breastfeed is closely related to early initiation to breastfeed and could also be a predictor of longer duration of breastfeeding. The objectives of this study are to provide a descriptive analysis of the sociodemographic characteristics, breastfeeding intention and breastfeeding attitudes and determine predictors affecting breastfeeding intention among low-to-middle income women. A prospective cohort study was undertaken of mothers attending eight antenatal clinics run by the Ministry of Health in Selangor, Malaysia. Mothers were recruited during the antenatal period and followed up until six months postpartum to document breastfeeding outcomes. Among 652 mothers in our study, exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding, and exclusive formula feeding intentions were 49.6%, 46.3%, and 9.0%, respectively. Age, maternal employment, maternal education, parity, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), breastfeeding attitude, spouse's preference, grandmother's preference and breastfeeding experience had significant relationship with breastfeeding intention (p< 0.05). However, further analysis showed that breastfeeding intention was associated with positive breastfeeding attitudes, older age, greater years of education, being housewives, having partner and family support for breastfeeding and grandmothers' breastfeeding experience. These findings suggest that by providing breastfeeding initiatives towards less educated, young mothers who lack breastfeeding support from their loved ones may improve breastfeeding rates. IntroductionBreastmilk is the most complete nutrition for infants (Gartner et al., 2005). Breastfeeding provides significant protective effect towards various childhood diseases to the infants in the short term and beyond (Binns, Lee, & Low, 2016;Horta & Victora, 2013). Infants who were not breastfeeding may expose to higher risks of infectious morbidity, as well as associated with increased risks of childhood obesity, leukemia, type I and II diabetes and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDs) (Stuebe, 2009). Breastfeeding intention is a significant predictor of positive breastfeeding outcomes, having an intention to breastfeed linked to early initiation and longer duration of breastfeeding (Donath & Amir, 2003;Mitra, Khoury, Hinton, & Carothers, 2004;Tarrant, Younger, Sheridan-Pereira, White, & Kearney, 2010a). Intention is an immediate precursor of behaviour and is defined as the perception of an individual towards performance of a particular behaviour (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980). In this study breastfeeding intention was defined as the degree of confidence about practising optimal breastfeeding behaviour. Intention to breastfeed is closely related to early initiation to breastfeed and could al...

“…Em relação à paridade, quanto maior o número de filhos tidos, maior a experiência materna, e sua segurança para lidar com seu recém-nascido e iniciar o aleitamento materno. Um estudo escocês já havia indicado, utilizando análise multivariada, que a paridade é um fator independente que prediz a intenção de amamentar 21 .…”

Esse estudo investigou fatores associados ao tempo entre o nascimento e a primeira mamada. Amostra representativa de puérperas (10% do número previsto de partos realizados em 47 maternidades da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil) foi entrevistada (n = 10.072). Perguntou-se com quanto tempo de nascimento o bebê mamou pela primeira vez. Utilizou-se modelo de riscos proporcionais de sobrevida, com efeitos aleatórios para maternidades, em três níveis hierarquizados (um modelo para cada tipo de parto) com intervalo de 95% de confiança. O tempo mediano para a primeira mamada diferiu entre puérperas com parto vaginal (quatro horas) e cesariano (dez horas). Foram fatores com significância estatística: idade materna; paridade; intercorrências com recém-nato; atendimento ao recém-nato considerado "não ótimo" pela mãe; internação em berçário; e peso ao nascer. O modelo prediz 33% da variação do tempo até a primeira mamada ao nível individual. O tempo até a primeira mamada é postergado por fatores biológicos, pelo excesso de partos cesarianos e por práticas inadequadas de atenção ao parto e nascimento.
