Breastfeeding among black mothers: evidence supporting the need for prenatal intervention
B Timbo1, S Altekruse, M Headrick
1FDA, Washington, DC, USA.
Purpose:
To identify factors that might be targeted for intervention to increase breastfeeding among black mothers.
Design:
Secondary analysis of the 1988 National Maternal Infant Health Survey.
Participants:
Black mothers (N = 5,142) from a nationally representative sample of mothers who had births in 1988.
Main Outcome Measures:
Breastfeeding rates
Results:
Factors associated with breastfeeding included a mother's plan to breastfeed; Women, Infants and Children (WIC) advice, or advice from a prenatal-care provider on breastfeeding; and discussion of breastfeeding practices at prenatal birth classes.
Conclusions:
The results suggest that the prenatal period may be a critical time to influence a prospective black mother's decision to breastfeed her infant.
