Early bottle use and lower satisfaction with the first breast-feeding experience can predict postpartum breast-feeding problems. Avoiding bottles in the hospital may reduce these issues, especially for mothers aiming for restricted bottle use.

Area of Science:

  • Perinatal health
  • Infant feeding practices
  • Maternal and child health

Background:

  • Breast-feeding duration is influenced by various pre- and perinatal factors.
  • Understanding factors predicting early postpartum breast-feeding problems is crucial for maternal and infant well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if pre- and perinatal variables predict breast-feeding problems in the first week postpartum.
  • To compare the impact of restricted versus planned daily bottle use on breast-feeding problems.

Main Methods:

  • 128 families committed to at least 6 weeks of breast-feeding were recruited.
  • Families were randomized into two groups: bottle avoidance (Weeks 2-6) or planned daily bottle use.
  • Breast-feeding problems were assessed using a standardized score at 1 week postpartum.

Main Results:

  • Bottle use in the hospital, lower satisfaction with the first breast-feeding, and group assignment weakly predicted the Breast-feeding Problem Score (R2 = .154, p = .0004).
  • The negative impact of hospital bottle use was more pronounced in the bottle-restricted group compared to the planned-bottle group.

Conclusions:

  • Early breast-feeding experiences, including hospital bottle use, significantly influence the occurrence of postpartum breast-feeding problems.
  • Strategies to minimize early bottle exposure may be beneficial for mothers experiencing breast-feeding difficulties.
