Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for infants during the first 6 months of life. The aim of this analysis was to examine time trends in breastfeeding between 1990 and 2013 in Germany using data from the DONALD (Dortmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed) Study. Although partial breastfeeding was observed to constantly increase over time in both 3-month and 6-month-old infants, fully breastfeeding rates did not further increase in 3-month-old infants since 2002, and even showed a tendency to decrease in 6-month-old infants. In conclusion, this finding emphasises the need for improvements in breastfeeding promotion in Germany, which currently seems to be ineffective in case of continuation of full breastfeeding until the age of 6 months.
建议婴儿在出生后的前6个月进行纯母乳喂养。本分析的目的是利用来自DONALD（多特蒙德营养与人体测量纵向设计）研究的数据，研究1990年至2013年德国母乳喂养的时间趋势。尽管观察到3个月和6个月大婴儿的部分母乳喂养率随时间持续上升，但自2002年以来，3个月大婴儿的纯母乳喂养率并未进一步上升，6个月大婴儿的纯母乳喂养率甚至呈下降趋势。总之，这一发现强调了德国在促进母乳喂养方面需要改进，目前在持续纯母乳喂养至6个月大方面似乎效果不佳。
