Article Synopsis
- * A cohort of 150 women (50 with high-risk pregnancies and 100 with normal pregnancies) were surveyed to identify factors affecting breastfeeding practices, such as delivery method and maternal health issues.
- * Results indicated lower breastfeeding initiation rates and less skin-to-skin contact in the high-risk group, with illness being the primary reason for delays in starting breastfeeding, contrasting with insufficient milk in normal pregnancies.
Background: Early discontinuation of breastfeeding exposes babies to severe and fatal illnesses. The aim of this study was to identify the barriers to relactation among Egyptian women who had stopped breastfeeding and to test different interventions to support the mothers to relactate.
Subjects And Methods: We conducted a prospective longitudinal cohort study of 200 mothers from Alexandria with babies less than 3 months of age who were not breastfeeding.
