“…Some family characteristics were less often studied in previous reports. A systematic review reported a positive association between being a migrant or foreigner and BF maintenance for 12 months or more [ 35 ], which is consistent with our results. In the ELFE study, migrant mothers frequently introduced earlier complementary food while maintaining long BF [ 8 ].…”

“…In the ELFE study, migrant mothers frequently introduced earlier complementary food while maintaining long BF [ 8 ]. Moreover, multiparous women frequently initiated and maintained BF for a longer time [ 35 ] but also adopted some feeding practices not recommended by current guidelines [ 6 , 10 , 22 ], as we found for early cow’s milk introduction. Maternal health-related characteristics were weakly associated with feeding practices, but the attendance at pre-birth preparation classes and consulting a pediatrician after hospital discharge were related to healthy feeding practices.…”

“…Studies in high-income countries reported that both early complementary food introduction (before age 4 months) and short BF duration were more frequent in socioeconomic less-advantaged families often characterized by low maternal age (<30 years old), low education level, and smoking and unemployment status [ 7 , 8 , 14 , 30 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]. In the present study, regardless of the method used to characterize feeding practices (PCA or HAC), the combination of short BF and early CF introduction was more frequent in families with low socioeconomic status: low maternal education level, young maternal age, and smoking during pregnancy.…”

“…For family income, findings are less consistent across the literature. Some studies did not highlight an association between early feeding practices and family income [ 6 , 29 ], but a recent systematic review reported a positive association between BF maintenance after 12 months and low family income [ 35 ]. In accordance with this review, long BF duration was related to low family income in the ELFE study.…”

Family characteristics such as education level or income are related to infant feeding practices. This study aimed to characterize infant feeding practices and investigate their associations with family characteristics. Analyses were performed with data from a French nationwide cohort, Etude Longitudinale Française depuis l’Enfance (ELFE). Feeding practices were characterized by two methods, a principal component analysis and a hierarchical ascendant classification (n = 8922). This characterization was conducted in three steps: considering firstly only introduction of main food groups, then also food pieces and finally adding the type of complementary food. The associations between family characteristics and the infant feeding patterns or clusters were tested by linear or multinomial regressions (n = 7556). Besides breastfeeding duration and age of first introduction of complementary foods, it appeared also important to consider specific food groups such as sweetened beverages and cow’s milk, and the introduction of food pieces, to describe feeding practices. Recommended feeding practices (longer breastfeeding, complementary food in the right period) were related to higher maternal age and education level, so was migration status, the presence of older children, low income or the mothers’ attendance to pre-birth preparation classes. The interrelations between feeding practices and family characteristics must be considered when examining the influence of feeding practices on child’s health.

“…Sin embargo, la concepción a través de TF también se ha asociado a nacimientos múltiples 12 , partos por cesárea 12 , partos prematuros o pequeños para la edad gestacional 12,13 , hemorragia materna 14 , hipertensión relacionada con el embarazo 14 , diabetes gestacional 14 , estrés y ansiedad 15 . Estos factores se han asociado con resultados negativos de lactancia materna, como mayores dificultades para amamantar 16 . Dado que no está claro si los TF pueden estar asociados con los resultados de lactancia materna, en este estudio se llevó a cabo una revisión de los resultados de lactancia materna entre mujeres que han concebido con la ayuda de TF en comparación con mujeres que concibieron espontáneamente, así como un análisis de sus factores asociados.…”

Background Little is known about the factors associated with the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation of breastfeeding for at least 2 years. The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for and protective factors against breastfeeding interruption before 2 years of age. Methods In this live birth cohort, mother and infant dyads were followed for 2 years. Data collection was performed at the maternity ward and subsequently at the children’s homes, monthly during the first 6 months of life and then at 9, 12, 18, and 24 months. The outcome of interest was breastfeeding interruption before 2 years of age. Median duration of breastfeeding was estimated using Kaplan-Meier’s survival analysis, and the associations were tested using Cox’s hierarchical multivariate model. Significance was set at 5%. Results Data from a total of 1344 dyads were assessed. Median breastfeeding duration was 385 days. The following risk factors for breastfeeding interruption were identified: white skin color (adjusted hazard ratio [HRa]: 1.31; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 1.10–1.56), primiparity (HRa: 1.21; 95%CI: 1.05–1.40), working outside the home (HRa: 1.52; 95%CI: 1.30–1.77), child sex male (HRa: 1.18; 95%CI: 1.03–1.35) and use of a pacifier (HRa: 3.46; 95%CI: 2.98–4.01). Conversely, the following protective factors were identified: lower family income (HRa: 0.81; 95%CI: 0.71–0.94), mother-infant bed-sharing (HRa:0.61, 95%CI: 0.52–0.73), on-demand breastfeeding in the first month (HRa: 0.64; 95%CI: 0.47–0.89) and exclusive breastfeeding at 4 months (HRa: 0.58, 95%CI: 0.48–0.70). Conclusions The findings allowed to identify both risk factors for and protective factors against breastfeeding interruption before 2 years of age. Knowledge of these factors may help prevent this event and aid in the development of programs that help women maintain breastfeeding for at least 2 years, as recommended by the WHO.
