Exclusively breastfeeding mothers in the second week postpartum had higher breastfeeding rates at 20 weeks. Early supplementation with manufactured infant formula is linked to decreased human milk intake and earlier weaning.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Nutrition Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Breastfeeding provides numerous health benefits for infants and mothers.
  • Maintaining exclusive breastfeeding for the initial postpartum period is crucial for long-term breastfeeding success.
  • Early introduction of artificial milks can potentially disrupt established breastfeeding patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of early supplementation with manufactured milks on breastfeeding duration.
  • To compare breastfeeding rates at 20 weeks postpartum based on infant feeding practices in the second week after delivery.
  • To investigate the association between early artificial milk supplementation and human milk intake.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary data analysis of two distinct convenience samples (n=120 and n=223).

  • Follow-up of breastfeeding mothers for 20 weeks postpartum or until weaning.
  • Comparison of breastfeeding rates at 20 weeks between mothers exclusively feeding human milk and those supplementing with manufactured infant milks in week 2 postpartum.

    • Main Results:

    • Mothers exclusively breastfeeding human milk in week 2 postpartum showed significantly higher breastfeeding rates at 20 weeks (63.0% and 59.7%) compared to those supplementing with artificial milks (28.1% and 24.2%).
    • Early introduction of supplemental artificial milks was associated with reduced human milk consumption.
    • No significant difference was observed in the intended duration of breastfeeding between the groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Exclusive human milk feeding in the early postpartum period is positively associated with sustained breastfeeding at 20 weeks.
    • Early supplementation with manufactured infant milks negatively impacts breastfeeding duration and human milk intake.
    • Promoting exclusive breastfeeding in the initial weeks postpartum is vital for achieving longer breastfeeding durations.
