The aim of this study was to investigate effects of unplanned pregnancy on neonatal health. This is a retrospective case-control study and included 314 babies selected with a non-probability method. Data were collected with a questionnaire of descriptive characteristics and neonatal health and Parent Infant Interaction Assessment Scale. A significantly higher rate of the babies born to the women with unplanned pregnancy had meconium in their amniotic fluid (14.6% vs. 7.0%; P = 0.029), needed special care (20.4% vs. 11.5%; P = 0.031) and were kept in the incubators (12.7% vs. 4.5%; P = 0.009). Both the babies born to the women with unplanned pregnancy and the babies born to the women with planned pregnancy were first fed with breast milk (96.8% of the unplanned group; 98.1% of the planned group), but a higher rate of the babies born to the women with unplanned pregnancy had problems with breast-feeding. (19.1% vs. 5.1%; P = 0.000). The babies born to the women with unplanned pregnancy got significantly lower scores on Parent Infant Interaction Assessment Scale (4.86 ± 1.98 in the unplanned group; 8.52 ± 1.43 in the planned group; P = 0.000). We found that a higher rate of the babies born to the women with unplanned pregnancy needed special care, had problems with breast-feeding and negative parent-infant interaction. We recommend that women with unplanned pregnancy should be given priority on prenatal, intrapartum and postpartum care and that measures which protect and promote neonatal health should be taken.

“…In the present study mean duration of breast-feeding was shorter in Caesarean deliveries, but multivariate analysis did not reveal a significant effect of type of birth. Other studies report that type of birth may be associated (33)(34)(35) , may not be associated (6,7,23) or may be weakly associated (36) with breast-feeding duration.…”

Objectives: To evaluate the factors associated with discontinuation of breastfeeding before 12 months in order to make suggestions for achieving long-term breast-feeding. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study. Setting: Gazi University Medical School, Ankara, Turkey. Subjects: Mothers of 1230 children who discontinued breast-feeding at least 15 d before the last visit were asked to fill out a questionnaire about the discontinuation process. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the independent effects of factors that might influence breast-feeding discontinuation. Results: Mean breast-feeding duration of the study group was 11?04 (SD 7?45) months. Introduction of bottle-feeding correlated with discontinuation of breast-feeding (r 5 0?507, P 5 0?001). Important risk factors for discontinuation of breast-feeding before the first 12 months were not exclusively breast-feeding at 3 and 6 months, prematurity, not having a plan about breast-feeding duration and maternity leave duration of #91 d for working mothers. The common reasons for abandoning breastfeeding in the first and second 6 months were similar, namely the mother's concerns about the sufficiency of breast milk. After 12 months and 18 months the reasons for discontinuation were the baby's unwillingness to eat solid foods while breast-feeding and the mother's perception that 'the baby is old enough', respectively. Conclusion: The factors that improve long-term breast-feeding are successful exclusive breast-feeding in the first few months, intention of the mother to breastfeed and sufficient duration of maternity leave. This study emphasizes the importance of successful breast-feeding counselling during the first few months to achieve the desired long-term breast-feeding.

Death and Desirability: Retrospective Reporting of Unintended Pregnancy After a Child’s Death

Social scientists have long debated how to best measure pregnancy intentions. The standard measure relies on mothers’ retrospective reports of their intentions at the time of their conception. Because women have already given birth at the time of this report, the resulting children’s health—including their vital status—may influence their mothers’ responses. We hypothesize that women are less likely to report deceased children were from unintended pregnancies, and this may explain why some longitudinal studies have shown that children from unintended pregnancies have lower survival, but cross-sectional studies produce counter findings. Using Demographic and Health Survey data from 31 sub-Saharan African countries, we confirm that mothers are less likely to report deceased children resulted from unintended pregnancies compared to surviving children, although the opposite is true for unhealthy children, who mothers more commonly report were from unintended pregnancies compared to healthier children. The results suggest that mothers (1) revise their recall of intentions after the traumatic experience of child death and/or (2) alter their reports in the face-to-face interview. The study challenges the reliability of retrospective reports of pregnancy intentions in high mortality settings, and thus our current knowledge of the levels and consequences of unintended pregnancies in these contexts.

Premature cessation of breastfeeding in infants: development and evaluation of a predictive model in two Argentinian cohorts: the CLACYD study, 1993-1999

Abstract: A model has been suggested that provides some insight onto background factors for the premature end of breastfeeding. Although some limitations prevent its general use at a population level, it may be a useful tool in the identification of women with a high probability of early weaning.
