“…Based on UNICEF report (2006) infant and mother skin to skin contact in first hour of life is one of ten steps in breastfeeding success [34]. It has been reported that skin to skin contact is an effective intervention to promote babies' sucking ability, weight gain, body temperature stability and mother's satisfaction [35].…”

The aim of this study was to assess the Breastfeeding status among children aged 21 -27 moths. A cross sectional study was carried out in South Health Center (Tehran-Iran) in 2010. Four hundred 21 -27 month breastfed infants entered the study. This study compared some variables in 2 groups; weaning before and after 22 months. The level of significance was considered P < 0.05. Mean breastfeeding duration and median (either exclusive or combined) were 19.66 ± 6.40 and 22 months. Among all reasons were cited by mothers, some reasons like insufficient breast milk supply (77.9%), infant restless (77.1%), and Mother's reluctance (75.6%) were the most common causes of exclusive breastfeeding cessation. A significant relation was seen between breastfeeding duration and gestational age or birth trauma (P Value = 0.031, P Value = 0.04). Breastfeeding training and First mother-infant skin to skin contact had significant roles on breastfeeding duration (P Value < 0.05, P Value = 0.001, respectively). It seems lots of public health efforts and policy are needed to improve breastfeeding rate in our country.

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) (2002,2011) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, to be continued as an accompaniment to food for 2 years or more, advice which has long been integral to breastfeeding promotion in the UK and international antenatal and postnatal programmes (Malik and Cutting, 1998;UNICEF UK, 2002;Dykes, 2003;Department of Health (DH), 2004. The same recommendations are made in the US (Grizzard et al, 2006) and Australia (Blyth et al, 2002). Educational interventions designed to promote breastfeeding target women especially in the lower socio-economic bracket, who are found to be significantly less likely to initiate or sustain breastfeeding (Mahon-Daly and Andrews, 2002).…”

Twenty percent of babies in the UK are receiving breast milk for the recommended 6 months, suggesting that long-term breastfeeding is untenable for many mothers. This article reviews research on breastfeeding experiences and analyses six mothers' experiences of initiating and ceasing, or continuing breastfeeding. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to understand how they made sense of their breastfeeding experiences. All had breastfed in the last year, had similar socioeconomic backgrounds, and varied in their breastfeeding durations from up to 1 month, for 1-6 months and more than 6 months. Three major themes emerged: 1) reality of breastfeeding was highly discrepant from expectations, 2) the role of others in sustaining breastfeeding, and 3) feelings of guilt. Breastfeeding promotions that focus on biological benefits of breastfeeding without regard for psychosocial factors create a moral dilemma for mothers. Educational and counselling interventions using a biopsychosocial perspective can help mothers make informed feeding decisions.

Barriers, Facilitators, and Recommendations Related to Implementing the Baby-Friendly Initiative (BFI)

et al. 2012

Despite growing evidence for the positive impact of the Baby-Friendly Initiative (BFI) on breastfeeding outcomes, few studies have investigated the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of Baby-Friendly practices that can be used to improve uptake of the BFI at the local or country levels. This integrative review aimed to identify and synthesize information on the barriers, facilitators, and recommendations related to the BFI from the international, peer-reviewed literature. Thirteen databases were searched using the keywords Baby Friendly, Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative, BFI, BFHI, Ten Steps, implementation, adoption, barriers, facilitators, and their combinations. A total of 45 English-language articles from 16 different countries met the inclusion criteria for the review. Data analysis was guided by Cooper's five stages of integrative research review. Using a multiple intervention program framework, findings were categorized into sociopolitical, organizational-level, and individual-level barriers and facilitators to implementing the BFI, as well as intra-, inter-, and extraorganizational recommendations for strengthening BFI implementation. A wide variety of obstacles and potential solutions to BFI implementation were identified. Findings suggest some priority issues to address when pursuing Baby-Friendly designation, including the endorsements of both local administrators and governmental policy makers, effective leadership of the practice change process, health care worker training, the marketing influence of formula companies, and integrating hospital and community health services. Framing the BFI as a complex, multilevel, evidence-based change process and using context-focused research implementation models to guide BFI implementation efforts may help identify effective strategies for promoting wider adoption of the BFI in health services.
