Objective:
To determine the influence of maternal education (ME) on early initiation of breastfeeding (BF) and its maintenance during the first two months of the infant's life, as well as to understand the influence of ME on the reasons for BF discontinuation.
Method:
This was a multicenter observational study carried out with primiparous women in four hospitals of Andalucía during 2011. Data was collected through interviews and from clinical charts. Raw and adjusted odds ratios were estimated during the analysis.
Results:
Mothers who attended ME classes showed early initiation of BF (aOR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.14-2.78) and maintenance of BF (aOR = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.15-2.61). There were no differences related to women's reasons to discontinue BF.
Conclusions:
ME positively impacts the initiation and maintenance of BF.

The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
