    Understanding breastfeeding barriers for lower socioeconomic status mothers is key. Emphasizing infant benefits and addressing personal inconveniences can promote breastfeeding initiation and duration in diverse populations.

    Area of Science:

    • Maternal and Child Health
    • Sociology of Health
    • Health Behavior Research

    Background:

    • Lower socioeconomic status (SES) mothers exhibit varied breastfeeding practices.
    • Understanding the specific attitudes influencing these decisions is crucial for targeted interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify factors influencing breastfeeding decisions among lower socioeconomic status mothers.
    • To explore the relationship between maternal attitudes and breastfeeding initiation.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey of 358 mothers delivering at a state university hospital.
    • Factor analysis of 26 attitude items to identify key themes.
    • Statistical analysis examining relationships across ethnicity and marital status.

    Main Results:

    • Four major factors emerged: infant benefits, social inconvenience, personal inconvenience, and physical/medical benefits.
    • These factors significantly influenced breastfeeding attitudes across different ethnic and marital status groups.
    • Personal inconvenience emerged as a significant barrier.

    Conclusions:

    • Breastfeeding promotion strategies should highlight infant benefits.
    • Interventions must address and mitigate perceived personal inconveniences for lower SES mothers.
    • Tailored approaches considering ethnicity and marital status are recommended for effective breastfeeding support.
