Abstract:
This study of factors related to success in breastfeeding used achievement motivation and information theories to develop the hypotheses. The sample (N = 150) were married, primigravidas, planning to breastfeed. Breastfeeding for at least six weeks was the criterion for success. Pregnant women's achievement motivation and level of information about breastfeeding were found to be positively related to success in breastfeeding.
