OBJECTIVE To analyze the factors associated with breastfeeding duration by two statistical models. METHODS A population-based cohort study was conducted with 86 mothers and newborns from two areas primary covered by the National Health System, with high rates of infant mortality in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil. During 30 months, 67 (78%) children and mothers were visited seven times at home by trained interviewers, who filled out survey forms. Data on food and sucking habits, socioeconomic and maternal characteristics were collected. Variables were analyzed by Cox regression models, considering duration of breastfeeding as the dependent variable, and logistic regression (dependent variables, was the presence of a breastfeeding child in different post-natal ages). RESULTS In the logistic regression model, the pacifier sucking (adjusted Odds Ratio: 3.4; 95%CI 1.2-9.55) and bottle feeding (adjusted Odds Ratio: 4.4; 95%CI 1.6-12.1) increased the chance of weaning a child before one year of age. Variables associated to breastfeeding duration in the Cox regression model were: pacifier sucking (adjusted Hazard Ratio 2.0; 95%CI 1.2-3.3) and bottle feeding (adjusted Hazard Ratio 2.0; 95%CI 1.2-3.5). However, protective factors (maternal age and family income) differed between both models. CONCLUSIONS Risk and protective factors associated with cessation of breastfeeding may be analyzed by different models of statistical regression. Cox Regression Models are adequate to analyze such factors in longitudinal studies.

Abstract Objective: To identify factors associated with breastfeeding initiation and continuation in Canadian-born and non-Canadian-born women. Design: Prospective cohort of mothers and infants born from 2008–2012: the CHILD Cohort Study. Setting: General community setting in four Canadian provinces. Participants: 3455 pregnant women from Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Toronto between 2008 and 2012. Results: Of 3010 participants included in this study, the majority were Canadian-born (75.5%). Breastfeeding initiation rates were high in both non-Canadian-born (95.5%) and Canadian-born participants (92.7%). The median breastfeeding duration was 10 months in Canadian-born participants and 11 months in non-Canadian-born participants. Among Canadian-born participants, factors associated with breastfeeding initiation and continuation were older maternal age, higher maternal education, living with their partner, and recruitment site. Rooming-in during the hospital stay was also associated with higher rates of breastfeeding initiation, but not continuation at 6-months postpartum. Factors associated with non-initiation of breastfeeding and cessation at 6-months postpartum were maternal smoking, living with a current smoker, cesarean birth, and early-term birth. Among non-Canadian-born participants, maternal smoking during pregnancy was associated with lower odds of breastfeeding initiation, and lower odds of breastfeeding continuation at 6 months, and older maternal age and recruitment site were associated with breastfeeding continuation at 6 months. Conclusions: Although Canadian-born and non-Canadian-born women in the CHILD cohort have similar breastfeeding initiation rates, breastfeeding initiation and continuation are more strongly associated with sociodemographic characteristics in Canadian-born participants. Recruitment site was strongly associated with breastfeeding continuation in both groups and may indicate geographic disparities in breastfeeding rates nationally.

Introduction: Breastfeeding promotion is one of the most important strategies against infant mortality and to control child undernourishment. Despite policies and plans to promote and protect breastfeeding in Colombia, its practice is low and its duration is short. Objective: To propose an ecology framework to interpret and incorporate contextual, interpersonal, and individual factors associated with the practice of breastfeeding and duration. Thereby, the plans and policies addressed to promote and pro­tect breastfeeding in Colombia could be reinforced. Conclusions: To implement an ecology framework for Breastfeeding in Colombia, it is necessary to identify the effect of contextual factors in the biggest cultural regions of Colombia, to recognize the limitations of Infant-Friendly Hospital Initiatives to improve exclusive breastfeeding duration, to execute prospective studies in order to identify factors associated with breastfeeding duration, to design and implement plans and policies based on comprehensive planning strategies of healthcare interventions, to develop appropriate and cost-effective extra-institutional strategies aimed at prolonging the duration of breastfeeding, and to implement more reliable breastfeeding surveillance systems.
