BackgroundIn spite of the evidence supporting the importance of breastfeeding during the first year of life, data on breastfeeding practices remain limited in Canada. The study aimed to examine the prevalence and predictors of 6-month exclusive breastfeeding among Canadian women.MethodsThe analysis was based on the Maternity Experience Survey targeting women aged ≥ 15 years who had singleton live births between February 2006 - May 2006 in the Canadian provinces and November 2005 - February 2006 in the territories. The main outcome was exclusive breastfeeding based on the World Health Organization definition. Socioeconomic, demographic, maternal, pregnancy and delivery related variables were considered for a multivariate logistic regression using stepwise modeling. Bootstrapping was performed to account for the complex sampling design.ResultsThe sample size in this study was 5,615 weighted to represent 66,810 Canadian women. While ever breastfeeding was 90.3%, the 6-month exclusive breastfeeding rate was 13.8%. Based on the regression model, having higher years of education, residing in the Northern territories and Western provinces, living with a partner, having had previous pregnancies, having lower pre-pregnancy body mass index and giving birth at older age were associated with increased likelihood of 6-month exclusive breastfeeding. Moreover, smoking during pregnancy, Caesarean birth, infant's admission to the intensive care unit and maternal employment status before 6 months of infant's age were negatively associated with exclusive breastfeeding. Mothers choosing to deliver at home were more likely to remain exclusively breastfeeding for 6 months (Odds Ratio: 5.29, 95% Confidence Interval: 2.95-9.46).ConclusionsThe 6-month exclusive breastfeeding rate is low in Canada. The study results constitute the basis for designing interventions that aim to bridge the gap between the current practices of breastfeeding and the World Health Organization recommendation.

“…In other studies, no difference has been found with regard to the time of hospital discharge and the duration of breastfeeding. [16][17][18] The above-mentioned practices influence the duration of breastfeeding. However, the impact of these practices is not known for primiparous and multiparous women.…”

The aim of this study was to describe the effects of sociodemographic factors and maternity ward practices on the duration of breastfeeding in Swedish primiparas (n = 194) and multiparas (n = 294), consecutively selected from hospital birth files for 3 months, who responded to a questionnaire 9 to 12 months after childbirth. The impact of sociodemographic data and maternity ward practices on exclusive and any breastfeeding were examined. Smoking and supplementation without medical reasons influenced the duration of both exclusive and any breastfeeding negatively, whereas early first breastfeeding influenced the duration of both exclusive and any breastfeeding positively, and parity had no significant influence. Late hospital discharge influenced the duration of exclusive breastfeeding positively, and higher maternal age influenced the duration of any breastfeeding positively. These variables altogether explained 11.4% (P < .001) of the variance in the duration of exclusive breastfeeding and 8.2% (P < .001) of the duration of any breastfeeding.

“…This was mainly due to the support they received from the staff when breastfeeding the first times. This first experience of breastfeeding and the degree of support and encouragement the woman receive is, according to Svedulf et al (7) and Waldenström and Aarts (8), the most important predictor of breastfeeding duration. Furthermore, in order to evaluate how breastfeeding worked, the mothers breastfeed in the presence of the EDT‐midwife before discharge.…”

“…Furthermore, studies (4–6) show no difference in breastfeeding frequency between women who left hospital early and those who stayed longer. Svedulf et al (7) and Waldenström and Aarts (8) showed that the most predominant factors influencing breastfeeding were the mother's first experience of breastfeeding and the degree of support, help and encouragement she received. In a phenomenological study (9) exploring self‐reported family health and well‐being after early discharge, mothers reported that the beginning of lactation came naturally and caused few problems.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe how first-time mothers, availing themselves of early discharge without a domiciliary visit by the midwife, experienced the first post partum week.Design: An inductive interview study, analysed using content analysis. Settings and participants:A University Hospital in a town in Sweden.(>100.000 inhabitants/3000 deliveries per annum). The nine participants were recruited from the Maternity Department. The catchment area included both an urban and rural population. Measurements and findings:One main category and three sub-categories emerged from the text. The main category was: a feeling of confidence and security and the subcategories were: being able to meet the needs of the baby, feeling 'back to normal' and receiving support.Key conclusion: First-time mothers choosing early discharge felt a sense of confidence and security if they had support from their partner and could trust the follow-up organization. Implications for practice:A booked telephone call and a follow-up visit to the midwife can be sufficient as a follow-up program for first-time mothers choosing early discharge.
