Breastfeeding is the biological feeding norm for human babies. Encouraging breastfeeding is a primary health promotion strategy, with studies demonstrating the risks of artificial baby milks. Each year approximately 10% of the women who give birth in New South Wales decide not to initiate breastfeeding, and the demographic characteristics of this group of women have previously been identified. This paper reviews the literature to explore the factors that influence women's decisions about breastfeeding, and their reasons for not initiating breastfeeding. The review revealed there are relatively few studies that explore the experiences of women who decide not to initiate breastfeeding, especially in the Australian context.
母乳喂养是人类婴儿的生物性喂养常态。鼓励母乳喂养是一项主要的健康促进策略，多项研究表明了人工婴儿奶粉存在的风险。每年在新南威尔士州分娩的女性中，约有10%决定不开始母乳喂养，且这组女性的人口统计学特征此前已得到确认。本文回顾相关文献，以探究影响女性母乳喂养决策的因素，以及她们不开始母乳喂养的原因。该综述发现，探究决定不开始母乳喂养的女性经历的研究相对较少，尤其是在澳大利亚的背景下。
