Breatfeeding tips

January 19, 2012 – 5:47 pm

A cross-sectional study compared 100 breastfeeding and 100 non-breastfeeding new mothers in order to investigate the relationship between mothers’ choice of breastfeeding and support from health professionals and lay people, taking into account potentially confounding sociodemographic influences. These studies also shows you breastfeeding tips.
The importance of the male partners’ opinion about breastfeeding was also examined. A favorable attitude of partners towards breastfeeding was the most important factor associated with breastfeeding (odds ratio=32.8). Prenatal class attendance and breastfeeding support from lay people increased the odds of breastfeeding 2.7 and 3.3 times, respectively.
The breast-fed children in the study tended to have mothers who were older, better-educated and wealthier. Skeptics say those factors rather than the breast milk itself could explain the findings.
