This article's aim is to review the literature on racial and ethnic disparities in breastfeeding rates and practices, address barriers to breastfeeding among minority women, conduct a systematic review of breastfeeding interventions, and provide obstetrician-gynecologists with recommendations on how they can help increase rates among minority women. In order to do so, the literature of racial and ethnic disparities in breastfeeding rates and barriers among minority women was reviewed, and a systematic review of breastfeeding interventions among minority women on PubMed and MEDLINE was conducted. Racial and ethnic minority women continue to have lower breastfeeding rates than white women and are not close to meeting the Healthy People 2020 goals. Minority women report many barriers to breastfeeding. Major efforts are still needed to improve breastfeeding initiation and duration rates among minority women in the United States. Obstetrician-gynecologists have a unique opportunity to promote and support breastfeeding through their clinical practices and public policy, and their efforts can have a meaningful impact on the future health of the mother and child.
本文旨在回顾关于母乳喂养率及实践中种族和族裔差异的文献，探讨少数族裔女性母乳喂养的障碍，对母乳喂养干预措施进行系统综述，并就产科医生如何帮助提高少数族裔女性的母乳喂养率提供建议。为此，回顾了关于母乳喂养率的种族和族裔差异以及少数族裔女性母乳喂养障碍的文献，并在PubMed和MEDLINE上对少数族裔女性的母乳喂养干预措施进行了系统综述。少数族裔女性的母乳喂养率仍低于白人女性，且远未达到《健康人民2020》的目标。少数族裔女性报告了许多母乳喂养障碍。在美国，仍需做出重大努力来提高少数族裔女性的母乳喂养起始率和持续时间。产科医生有独特的机会通过其临床实践和公共政策来促进和支持母乳喂养，他们的努力可以对母婴未来健康产生有意义的影响。
