“…To the extent these explanations are valid, prenatal classes need to provide breastfeeding skills and build positive social norms in order to increase exclusive breastfeeding intention and duration. 7,34,35 It is not surprising to find in our analysis that returning to work was a significant barrier to exclusive breastfeeding, which was revealed in many previous studies. 5,[35][36][37] Lack of support from workplace or unfavorable working conditions may compel working mothers to consider early termination of breastfeeding exclusivity and introduction of formula during or immediately after the maternity leave.…”

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.

“…It is also present in the antenatal period and is influenced by multidimensional factors (Roll & Cheater, 2016). Factors affecting maternal attitude to breastfeeding include maternal characteristics, including age (Nouer et al, 2015), ethnicity (Linares et al, 2015), education level, occupational status (Ishak et al 2014), household income (Persad & Mensinger, 2008), parity (Buckles & Kolka, 2014), pregnancy intentions (Kost & Lindberg, 2015), caregivers (Fok et al, 2016), and previous exclusive breastfeeding experience (Mitra et al, 2004). Community empowerment, such as a good level of knowledge, can influence maternal attitudes on improving health status.…”

Introduction: rates of health problems related to a chronic lack of energy in pregnant women in Indonesia remain prevalence. This study aimed to develop community empowerment and supplementary feeding on health status and nutritional status among pregnant women.Methods: the sample included 189 pregnant women living in the six villages in the Jember District. The research used a cluster random sampling technique. The variables included community empowerment, supplementary feeding, health status, and nutritional status of pregnant women. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with parameter data estimation using software (Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 21).Results: estimations of the direct effects were as follows: community empowerment on health status (0.224), supplementary feeding on health status (0.169), health status on nutritional status of pregnant women (0.001), community empowerment on nutritional status of pregnant women (2.857), supplementary feeding on nutritional status of pregnant women (-0.537), community empowerment on nutritional status of pregnant women through health status (0.000), supplementary feeding on nutritional status of pregnant women through health status (0.000), community empowerment on health status (0.224), supplementary feeding on health status (0.169).Conclusion: community empowerment remains an important key in improving the engagement of women in maternal health issues. Combined intervention with supplementary feeding based on locality may improve the health outcomes.

Aim Bed sharing is defined as a newborn sleeping in the same bed with an adult. Bed sharing may put the newborn at risk of suffocation due to accidental smothering. Methods This was a quasi‐experimental study conducted in a tertiary referral hospital. Healthy post‐delivery Malaysian mothers were randomly selected and enrolled into the control or the intervention group. On the day of discharge, mothers in the intervention group were interviewed face‐to‐face in the post‐natal ward on their plans for sleeping arrangement with their newborn. After the interview, mothers were advised not to bed share with their newborn and were given an educational leaflet on safe sleeping practices. One week after discharge, mothers in both groups were interviewed over the telephone regarding their actual sleeping arrangements with their newborn using the same questionnaire. Logistic regression was performed to determine factors associated with reduced bed sharing. Results A total of 94 mothers and 95 mothers were recruited to the control and intervention group, respectively. The baseline bed‐sharing prevalence was similar between groups: 60.6% in the control group and 61.1% in the interventional group. The proportion of mothers who bed shared with their newborn reduced from 61.1 to 37.9% after the intervention (P < 0.001). Most mothers in the control group opted for bed sharing to ease breastfeeding (68.4%). Mothers in the control group had a 5.9 times higher odds of bed sharing. Conclusions In this study, the majority of mothers practiced bed sharing at baseline. A significant proportion of mothers changed their sleeping practices after receiving the intervention in the form of an information leaflet.
