Factors Associated with Breastfeeding Initiation: A Comparison between France and French-Speaking Canada

Perceived stress at work is an important risk factor that affects the mental and physical health of workers. This study aims to determine the prevalence and factors associated with perceived stress in the informal electronic and electrical equipment waste processing sector in French-speaking West Africa. From 14 to 21 November 2019, a cross-sectional survey was carried out among e-waste workers in five countries in the French-speaking West African region, and participants were selected by stratified random sampling. Participants were interviewed on socio-demographic variables and characteristics related to e-waste management activities using a questionnaire incorporating Cohen’s Perceived Stress Scale (10-item version). Factors associated with perceived stress were determined by multivariate logistic regression. A total of 740 e-waste workers were interviewed. The mean age of the workers was 34.59 ± 11.65 years, with extremes of 14 and 74 years. Most of the interviewees were repairers (43.11%). The prevalence of perceived stress among the e-waste workers was 76.76%. Insufficient income, number of working days per week, perceived violence at work, and the interference of work with family responsibilities or leisure were the risk factors that were the most associated with perceived stress. The high prevalence of perceived stress and its associated factors call for consideration and improvement of the working conditions of e-waste workers.

Background and purpose: Working mothers and mothers who leave their babies in their home for more than 8 hours a day almost do not exclusively breastfeed their babies. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of exclusive breastfeeding among mothers who work at home and factors associated with it.Methods: Cross-sectional survey was conducted by convenience sampling of 132 mothers with 6-12 months babies at Puskesmas Marga I Tabanan Regency from March-April 2016. The data was collected by interview about social-demographic characteristic, knowledge, perception, pregnancy and maternity counseling, early breastfeeding initiation, families support, medical assistant and exclusive breastfeeding. The data analyzed by univariate, bivariate, multivariate using STATA 12.1. Chi square applied in bivariate analysis and poison regression applied in multivariate analysis.Results: Proportion of respondents who exclusively breastfeed their babies for 6 months was 66.67%. Reasons for not exclusively breastfeed were not enough breastmilk (32.58%), no breastmilk (13.64%), families suggestion (8.33%), babies refused breastmilk (6.06%), health provider suggestion (2.27%) and to avoid the shape of the breast (1.52%). Multivariate analysis found that variables associated with the exclusive breastfeeding were parity (APR=1.50; 95%CI: 1.01-2.15), early breasfeeding initiation (APR=1.80; 95%CI: 1.13-2.90) and families support (APR=1.4; 95%CI: 1.10-1.76).Conclusion: Factors significantly associated with exclusive breastfeeding were parities less than 3, early breasfeeding initiation and families support.

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.

Background: Breastfeeding offers benefits to mother and child but is frequently not practiced among women whose pregnancy is complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus. Factors associated with not initiating or not maintaining breastfeeding among these women have been little investigated. Research aims: (1) To evaluate the frequency of breastfeeding for 30 days among women with a recent pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes and (2) to determine factors associated with not initiating or not maintaining breastfeeding. Methods: Between January 2014 and July 2017 we enrolled women with gestational diabetes at high-risk prenatal services in three Brazilian cities. We collected baseline sociodemographic and health data and followed up with participants by telephone. Using Kaplan–Meier curves, we calculated the proportions of participants not initiating breastfeeding or not maintaining it for at least 30 days. We used Poisson regression with robust variance to identify factors related to this outcome. Results: Of the 2328 participants with complete information, 2236 (96.1%) initiated breastfeeding, and 2166 (93.1%) maintained breastfeeding for 30 days. Not having breastfed the previous infant (relative risk [RR] = 5.02, 95% CI [3.39, 7.45]), smoking during pregnancy (RR = 2.37, 95% CI [1.48, 3.80]), infant with health problems (RR = 2.25, 95% CI [1.27, 3.99]), early preterm birth (RR = 2.49, 95% CI [1.07, 5.77]), and not intending to breastfeed (RR = 3.73, 95% CI [1.89, 7.33]) were related to not maintaining breastfeeding for at least 30 days. Conclusions: Breastfeeding initiation was nearly universal among participants, and most maintained breastfeeding for 30 days. Factors relating to not breastfeeding at 30 days were easily identifiable.

The period of early life (0-24 months) is a golden period of growth and development that determines the quality of health in the next age. Double malnutrition, including stunting, at the early life will inhibit the growth and development, also increase the risk of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the next stages of life. Methods: This study was aimed to analyze prevalence and factors associated with stunting in children aged 0-24 months in Sukaluyu, Karawang, Indonesia (Citarum Project). A cross sectional study was conducted in 130 childrens aged 0-24 months during oktober-november 2018 in Sukaluyu Village, Karawang District, Indonesia (sector 17 of citarum harum project). The data were collected by questionnaires and anthropometric assessment. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the association between birth weight, early breastfeeding initiation, breast milk, and hygiene and healthy lifestyle. Results: The prevalence of stunting (length/height for age z-scores < -2.0) among children was 20% (male 58%, female 42%). Factor associated with stunting among children was breast milk (p<0.05), meanwhile for birth weight, early breastfeeding initiation, and hygiene and healthy lifestyle are not associated. Conclusions: This study found that stunting can be prevented through exclusive breastfeeding (until 6 months) and continued for up to 2 years with giving complementary feeding.

Initiation Of Breastfeeding

Exclusive breastfeeding is essential for the mother’s wellbeing, fundamental for the newborn’s development and indispensable for the reinforcement of bonding. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), breastfeeding after childbirth should be initiated within the first 30 minutes following delivery. The Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) contributes to the reduction of neonatal morbidity and mortality but is oftentimes not respected. The objective of this survey was to determine the factors associated with breastfeeding initiation and delays. We conducted a cross-sectional study at the Yaoundé Gynaeco-Obstetric and Paediatric Hospital from December 2018 to May 2019. We included women with livebirth infants > 2000g, without breastfeeding contraindications during the first hour of immediate postpartum. We enrolled 250 mothers, mostly from the Centre region (40%), with a secondary school education level in 43%. The vaginal route was the main mode of delivery in 70% of cases. The newborns had a mean gestational age of 38.4 ± 1.6 weeks and a mean birth weight of 3168.6 ± 508.7g; the male sex predominated by a ratio of 1.29. The average time of breastfeeding initiation was 120 minutes and only 40% of mothers had put the baby onto the breast within the first hour after birth. The factors associated with delayed breastfeeding initiation were primary school education level, the Centre region as origin or place of residence, HIV infection in mothers, having delivered through caesarean section, gestational age < 37 weeks, low birthweight < 2500g and neonatal infection. After multivariate analysis, delivery by caesarean section and the Centre region persisted as independent predictors of delayed breastfeeding initiation. Therefore, we concluded breastfeeding initiation in this series was delayed, and was influenced by a number of risk factors pertaining to maternal, neonatal and interventional determinants. However, this may be reduced by the reinforcement of education on good breastfeeding practices and the strengthening of antenatal care in order to prevent complications and hence the delayed initiation of breastfeeding.
