Aim To assess breastfeeding intention, initiation and duration up to three months postnatal and associated factors. Methods Secondary data from 131 healthy pregnant women participating in an RCT in a Dublin hospital who recorded intention to breastfeed were included. Demographic and breastfeeding data were collected. Results Of the 131 women, 91.6% (n=120) reported intending to breastfeed. 91.7% of those subsequently initiated breastfeeding (n=110/120). Of those intending to breastfeed, 78.9% (n=86/109) and 68.9% (n=73/106) remained breastfeeding at one and three months postnatal respectively. Higher education (p<0.05) and lower BMI (p<0.05) were significantly associated with initiation and duration of breastfeeding. Ethnicity, age, parity or mode of delivery were not significantly associated with breastfeeding. Conclusion Many factors are associated with breastfeeding intention and duration including education and BMI. It is important to develop tailored support measures to encourage initiation and continuation of breastfeeding.
评估产后三个月内的母乳喂养意愿、开始情况及持续时间，并分析相关因素。方法：纳入都柏林一家医院131名参与随机对照试验且记录了母乳喂养意愿的健康孕妇的二手数据。收集人口统计学和母乳喂养数据。结果：131名女性中，91.6%（n = 120）表示打算母乳喂养。其中91.7%随后开始母乳喂养（n = 110/120）。打算母乳喂养的女性中，分别有78.9%（n = 86/109）和68.9%（n = 73/106）在产后1个月和3个月时仍在进行母乳喂养。高等教育程度（p<0.05）和较低的体重指数（p<0.05）与母乳喂养的开始和持续时间显著相关。种族、年龄、产次或分娩方式与母乳喂养无显著关联。结论：许多因素与母乳喂养意愿和持续时间相关，包括教育程度和体重指数。制定针对性的支持措施以鼓励母乳喂养的开始和持续非常重要。
