Objectives: To assess compliance with recommendations to alleviate nipple pain and/or trauma (NPT) and to reduce the rate of breastfeeding abandonment for this reason.
Introduction: As a fundamental priority, health programmes encourage mothers to breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 months of the baby's life and to supplement breast milk with other foods up to the age of 2 years. However, the presence of NPT can reduce or prevent compliance with this recommendation.
Background: Factors associated with duration of breastfeeding have been usually studied at specific times after birth. Little is known about how much time is added to breastfeeding by each associated factor.
Methods: A cohort of 969 mother-child dyads was followed-up for twelve months at the Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital, Spain, in 2018.
