Breastfeeding rates remained similar between 1987 and 1994, with no significant change in early cessation. Exclusive breastfeeding saw a slight increase in 1994, particularly among more educated mothers.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Maternal and Child Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Breastfeeding is crucial for infant health and development.
  • Understanding trends in breastfeeding practices is essential for effective public health interventions.
  • Previous studies highlight the importance of socioeconomic factors in breastfeeding duration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the evolution of breastfeeding practices over time.
  • To evaluate the impact of interventions aimed at promoting breastfeeding.
  • To compare breastfeeding prevalence and cessation rates between two distinct cohorts.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective cohort study comparing two groups of infants born in 1987 and 1994.
  • Data collected on breastfeeding prevalence and early cessation within the first six months.

  • Follow-up conducted via mail for the 1987 cohort and home visits for the 1994 cohort.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant difference in overall breastfeeding frequencies between the two cohorts.
    • Higher prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in the 1994 cohort, especially among mothers with higher education.
    • Similar rates of early breastfeeding cessation observed in both cohorts (36% in 1987 vs. 39% in 1994).

    Conclusions:

    • Breastfeeding promotion efforts showed limited impact during the study period.
    • A need exists for targeted breastfeeding support, particularly for socioeconomically disadvantaged families.
    • Further research and enhanced strategies are required to improve breastfeeding rates and duration.
