Perceived social support and interpersonal dependency were studied as potential factors associated with lactation duration based upon previous breastfeeding experience.

An ancillary finding was that women providing a combination of breast milk and human milk substitutes had significantly lower social self-confidence than did mothers providing breast milk exclusively.
