Despite its health benefits, only 63% of women in Scotland will attempt to breastfeed. Our aim was to investigate future feeding intentions and attitudes in adolescents in the south east of Scotland. Of the 757 adolescents questioned, 78.8% of girls (n = 430) and 61.6% of boys (n = 130) stated an intention to breastfeed or to encourage their partner to breastfeed. Knowledge of being breastfed as an infant was the only factor associated with a higher Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Score and proportion that either intend to breastfeed or support breastfeeding in the future.
尽管母乳喂养对健康有益，但苏格兰只有63%的女性会尝试母乳喂养。我们的目的是调查苏格兰东南部青少年未来的喂养意愿和态度。在接受询问的757名青少年中，78.8%的女孩（n = 430）和61.6%的男孩（n = 130）表示有母乳喂养或鼓励伴侣母乳喂养的意愿。婴儿时期接受母乳喂养的经历是与较高的爱荷华婴儿喂养态度得分以及未来打算母乳喂养或支持母乳喂养的比例相关的唯一因素。
