“…Haitian women had a prevalence of EBF similar to that found in the host country than in their country of origin [ 10 , 11 ]. Likewise, our findings showed that the EBF rate increased as the duration of residency increased, while women with <12 months residency increased the risk of NEBF (OR: 2.2; CI: 2.09–2.78); this is similar to values reported by Wan et al [ 27 ].…”

“…Likewise, our findings showed that the EBF rate increased as the duration of residency increased, while women with <12 months residency increased the risk of NEBF (OR: 2.2; CI: 2.09–2.78); this is similar to values reported by Wan et al [ 27 ]. Nolan and Layte [ 11 ] studied immigrants in Ireland and found that BF rates tended to converge toward the rates of the host country and were directly proportional to the duration of residency. While Haitian immigrant women in Chile increased their prevalence of BF to the level of the host country, Gibson–Davis and Brooks–Gunn [ 28 ] showed that for each year of residency of immigrant women in the United States, the prevalence of BF decreased by 4%, which was closer to the rates of women born in the United States.…”

“…The prevalence of EBF varies widely among countries; high-income countries have a prevalence of <20%, while it is ≥45% in middle- and low-income countries. The prevalence of EBF in Chilean and Haitian women is 55% and 41%, respectively [ 10 , 11 ]. Findings on EBF prevalence in immigrant women are still scarce and contradictory; however, it has been reported that immigrant women have a higher prevalence of initiating BF than host country nationals [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Maternal Factors Associated with Non-Exclusive Breastfeeding in Haitian Immigrant Women in Southern Chile

There is limited knowledge concerning factors that affect non-exclusive breastfeeding (NEBF) practices in immigrant populations, especially in Latin America. The objective of the present study was to determine the association between maternal factors and the prevalence of NEBF in Haitian immigrant women in southern Chile. This was an analytical cross-sectional study. The probabilistic sample consisted of 173 Haitian women who gave informed consent. Sociodemographic and dietary-nutritional information was collected from all participants. Bivariate (χ2) and multivariate (logistic regression) inferential statistics were applied. All analyses were performed with the STATA 16.0 statistical software, and the significance level was established as α < 0.05. The prevalence of EBF at 6 mo was 54.3%. Maternal factors associated with a lower prevalence of EBF were not having permanent residency (OR: 2.34, CI: 2.18–2.83), residency <12 months (OR: 2.23, CI: 2.09–2.78), limited knowledge of breastfeeding (OR: 1.96; CI: 1.81–2.27), and low educational attainment (OR: 1.78; CI: 1.61–2.11). The protective factors were employment (OR: 0.36, CI: 0.28–0.40), access to basic services (OR: 0.32; CI: 0.22–0.48), and Spanish proficiency (OR: 0.29; CI: 0.20–0.51). Haitian immigrant women without legal residency, recently arrived, with low educational attainment, and poor knowledge of breastfeeding have more risk of not providing exclusive breastfeeding. Targeted interventions for mothers with these risk factors may help improve EBF rates.

“…17 In rural settings, there are misconceptions of the quality and quantity of breastmilk. 18 National surveys reveal various misconceptions including that EBF is insufficient, inconvenient as compared to formula feeding, unsafe and may have negative physical impacts, such as altering breast shape in the mother. 11 This project from Consuelo, a rural town in the DR, aims to inform future interventions focused on the improvement of local breastfeeding rates.…”

Objective. We assessed the proportion of and factors associated with mothers initiating and continuing breastfeeding (BF) for ≥4 months in a rural town of the Dominican Republic. Methods. A survey was administered to 190 mothers of children cared for at a free clinic in Consuelo. Modified bivariate and multivariable Poisson regressions were utilized in data analysis. Results. BF was initiated in 89.5% of cases and continued ≥4 months in 81.7% of cases. Maternal education beyond secondary school [adjusted RR = 1.13, 95% CI: (1.04-1.24), 0.010], and visiting both public and private antenatal clinics [adjusted RR = 1.25; 95% CI: (1.10-1.37), 0.010] were associated with BF initiation. Public and private antenatal clinic attendance [adjusted RR = 1.01, 95% CI: (0.45-2.23), 0.020], Cesarean section [adjusted RR = 0.81, 95% CI: (0.68-0.98), 0.026], number of biological children [adjusted RR = 0.95, 95% CI: (0.90-1.00), 0.032] and maternal employment [adjusted RR = 0.89, 95% CI: (0.79-0.99), 0.048] were associated with BF continuation. Conclusions. These results provide valuable insights for targeting specific populations in future breastfeeding education interventions.
