Factors Influencing Exclusive Breastfeeding at 4 Months Postpartum in a Sample of Urban Hispanic Mothers in Kentucky
Conclusion:
These findings have particular relevance in this population, given the high rate of breastfeeding initiation coupled with breastfeeding self-efficacy being a modifiable factor. Support during pregnancy and postpartum, including consultation with a lactation consultant, may increase the self-efficacy of EBF in this low-income population, leading to higher rates of extended EBF among Hispanics.
