“…Researchers who conducted focus groups in rural and urban areas in Pakistan found that mothers and fathers believed that infants should first be fed prelacteal feedings by an elderly family member or a religious figure (Zakar et al, 2018). Studies have shown that the type of birth attendant is also associated with breastfeeding outcomes, with higher odds of exclusive breastfeeding among women cared for by traditional birth attendants (Hazir et al, 2013) and midwifes (Haile, Elmasry, Chavan, & Azulay Chertok, 2017;Wallenborn & Masho, 2018). The influence of these culturally designated advisers plays a critical role in the continuation of breastfeeding and lack of social support for breastfeeding contributes to low breastfeeding rates (Zakar et al, 2018).…”

Maternal Body Mass Index and Breastfeeding Non-Initiation and Cessation: A Quantitative Review of the Literature

et al. 2020

This study aims to investigate which maternal body mass index (BMI) categories are associated with the non-initiation or cessation of breastfeeding (BF) based on a quantitative review of the literature. We searched Ovid MEDLINE and EBSCO CINAHL for peer-reviewed articles published between 1946 (MEDLINE) or 1981 (CINAHL), and 2019. Selected studies were either cross-sectional or cohort studies, of healthy mothers and infants, that reported nutrition method (exclusive/full or any) and period (initiation/duration/cessation) of breastfeeding according to maternal BMI levels. Pairwise meta-analyses of 57 studies demonstrated that the pooled odds risks (OR) of not initiating BF among overweight and obese mothers compared to normal weight mothers were significant across 29 (OR 1.33, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.15–1.54, I2 = 98%) and 26 studies (OR 1.61, 95% CI, 1.33–1.95, I2 = 99%), respectively; the pooled risks for BF cessation were inconsistent in overweight and obese mothers with substantial heterogeneity. However, we found that overweight mothers (n = 10, hazard ratio (HR) 1.16, 95% CI, 1.07–1.25; I2 = 23%) and obese mothers (n = 7, HR 1.45, 95% CI: 1.27–1.65; I2 = 44%) were both associated with an increased risk of not continuing any BF and exclusive BF, respectively. Overweight and obese mothers may be at increased risk of not initiating or the cessation of breastfeeding.

“…However, a previous study from Lebanon reported a positive association between female gender of the pediatrician and breastfeeding for four months (OR = 1.49; 95% CI: 1.03 to 2.15) [21]. Moreover, a study reported the odds of EBF at three months to be higher among women whose birth was attended by a midwife or female nurse, as compared to birth by an obstetrician (OR = 1.87; 95% CI: 1.34 to 2.61) [22]. This may be because female obstetricians, who may have experienced motherhood and/or breastfeeding, would be more comfortable to address maternal concerns about infant nutrition, as compared to male obstetricians.…”

Assessing the impact of professional lactation support frequency, duration and delivery form on exclusive breastfeeding in Lebanese mothers

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background The optimal frequency, duration, and form of professional lactation support needed to continue exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for six months have not yet been specifically identified. This study investigates the association between six-month EBF and the frequency, duration, and form (face-to-face vs. telephone contact) of professional lactation support in a cohort of Lebanese mothers, and explores barriers to EBF during the first six months postpartum. Methods An observational study was nested in a breastfeeding support randomized controlled trial. Secondary analysis of data from 159 trial participants who received professional lactation support was conducted. (1) Six-month EBF with professional lactation support frequency, duration, and form was investigated using bivariate and multivariate regression analyses. (2) Barriers to breastfeeding were explored using content analysis of narrative data collected about breastfeeding mothers by the lactation experts.
