Breastfeeding practices are influenced by multifactorial determinants including individual characteristics, external support systems, and media influences. This commentary emphasizes such complex factors influencing breastfeeding practices. Potential methodological limitations and the need for diverse sampling in studying breastfeeding practices are highlighted. Further research must explore the interplay between social influences, cultural norms, government policies, and individual factors in shaping maternal breastfeeding decisions.
母乳喂养行为受到多因素决定因素的影响，包括个体特征、外部支持系统和媒体影响。本评论强调了影响母乳喂养行为的此类复杂因素。文中突出了研究母乳喂养行为时潜在的方法学局限性以及多样化抽样的必要性。进一步的研究必须探索社会影响、文化规范、政府政策和个体因素在塑造母亲母乳喂养决策过程中的相互作用。
