Risk of early breastfeeding cessation among symmetrical, small for gestational age infants.

Background: Many studies have shown that children born small for gestational age are at a metabolic disadvantage. Breastfeeding is associated with reduced risk of developing metabolic syndrome.

Objective: To determine whether ponderal index, weight, length or head circumference at birth affect early exclusive breastfeeding discontinuation.

Salt preference of nursing mothers is associated with earlier cessation of exclusive breastfeeding.

Successful breastfeeding is predicated on its initial success. Salt appetite during lactation may be relevant to breastfeeding success because sodium is essential for development of foetus and neonate. Here we examined whether maternal salt preference might facilitate breastfeeding.
