Abstract：
AIM:To investigate breastfeeding practices among mothers of infants in the city of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. METHODS:The cross-sectional self-report study was conducted among 326 mothers of infants visiting the Advisory Center for Infants at the Medical Center in Mostar and at the Children's Department of Mostar University Hospital between January and May 2003. The data were collected from mothers by trained interviewers using a structured interview. In addition to demographic data, mothers were inquired about the frequency of breastfeeding, use of commercial infant food products, and the reasons for the termination of breastfeeding. RESULTS:According to mothers' statements, 85%, 70%, 44%, and 8% infants were breastfed at the age of 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. Significantly more infants aged < or =3 months were breast feed than not. Infant formula was given to 31%, 43%, 85%, and 62% of infants aged 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. Cow milk was given to 19% of 6-month-old infants, and the proportion of infants fed with cow milk increased with age. Tea and water were often added to the infant diet. The most frequently stated reason for the termination of breastfeeding was the lack of breast milk. Decision whether to breast feed or not was made by the mothers themselves, in 85% of cases before the delivery. Only 27% of mothers received advice on breastfeeding from the medical personnel. CONCLUSION:The number of breastfed infants decreased with their age, especially after 3 months of age. Infant formulas and cow milk were introduced into infant diet very early. The reasons stated for the termination of breastfeeding reflected unawareness of the indications for ablactation and advantages of breastfeeding. Young mothers should be better educated on breastfeeding.
