Breast-feeding attitudes of 128 low-income, pregnant adolescents were assessed using a questionnaire developed for this population. Teens who had been breast-fed as infants had more positive attitudes than bottle-fed teens (p less than 0.002); no differences in attitudes were found by race or age. Pregnant teens who planned to breast-feed their infants had higher attitude scores than those who planned to bottle feed or who were uncertain (p less than 0.001). Of the sample, 32.4% subsequently breast-fed their baby; these teen mothers had more positive attitude scores than the teen mothers who bottle fed (p less than 0.001). The prenatal infant feeding plans of these pregnant teens were significantly related to their postnatal feeding practices (p less than 0.001). Selected implications of these data for health care professionals are discussed.
使用为该人群开发的问卷对128名低收入怀孕青少年的母乳喂养态度进行了评估。婴儿期接受母乳喂养的青少年比奶瓶喂养的青少年态度更积极（p<0.002）；种族或年龄方面未发现态度差异。计划母乳喂养婴儿的怀孕青少年比计划奶瓶喂养或不确定的青少年态度得分更高（p<0.001）。在样本中，32.4%的人随后对其婴儿进行了母乳喂养；这些青少年母亲的态度得分比奶瓶喂养的青少年母亲更积极（p<0.001）。这些怀孕青少年的产前婴儿喂养计划与他们的产后喂养行为显著相关（p<0.001）。讨论了这些数据对医疗保健专业人员的一些启示。
