[Motivations and perceived barriers to initiate or sustain breast- feeding among Spanish women].

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Breastfeeding for its multiple benefits is the best cost-effective health intervention and should be a public health priority. The aim of this study was to determine motivations and barriers perceived by mothers to initiate or to maintain breastfeeding. METHODS:A cross-sectional, observational study was carried in 2013 out among 569 mothers resident in Spain, with children under the age of 2, who completed a structured questionnaire. A two-stage sampling, stratified by Autonomous Communities and non-probabilistic within each community was used. RESULTS:88% of the mothers were breastfeeding their children or had breastfed. At the time of the survey 66.6% had stopped breastfeeding, and the average age for weaning was 6.4 (SD 3.8) months. The main reason for stopping breastfeeding was maternal perceptions of insufficient milk supply (29%). The second reason was going back to work (18%). 67% of the mothers said that they made the decision to breastfeed on their own. The main disadvantages reported were: the difficulty to reconcile breastfeeding and work (43%), breastfeeding in public places (39%), more frequent nighttime awakenings (62%) and the reduced weight gain of the baby (29%). Going back to work was the main reason for choosing formula feeding (34%) and also for initiating partial breastfeeding (39%). CONCLUSIONS:The main disadvantages reported were: the difficulty to reconcile breastfeeding and work, breastfeeding in public places, more frequent nighttime awakenings and the reduced weight gain of the baby. Going back to work was the main reason for choosing formula feeding and also for initiating partial breastfeeding. OBJETIVO:La lactancia materna (LM) por sus múltiples beneficios es la mejor intervención coste-efectiva en salud y debería constituir un objetivo prioritario de salud pública. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer las motivaciones y barreras percibidas por las madres para iniciar o mantener la LM. METODOS:Estudio observacional transversal con 569 madres residentes en España en 2013, con hijos menores de 2 años que cumplimentaron un cuestionario estructurado. Muestreo bietápico, estratificado por comunidades autónomas y no probabilístico en cada comunidad. RESULTADOS:El 88% de las madres daban LM o lo habían hecho. La edad media del destete fue 6.4 (DE 3.8) meses. El principal motivo para suspender la lactancia fue la sensación de baja producción de leche (29%) seguido de la incorporación al trabajo (18%). El 67% de las madres indicaron que la decisión de amamantar la habían tomado ellas mismas. La dificultad para combinar la LM con la actividad laboral (43%), dar el pecho en lugares públicos (39%), los despertares nocturnos (62%) y el menor aumento de peso del lactante (29%) fueron los inconvenientes más referidos. La incorporación laboral fue el principal motivo para elegir la lactancia artificial (34%) y para iniciar la lactancia parcial (39%). CONCLUSIONES:La dificultad para combinar la LM con la actividad laboral, dar el pecho en lugares públicos, los despertares nocturnos y la menor ganancia de peso del lactante fueron los inconvenientes más referidos. La incorporación laboral fue el principal motivo para elegir la lactancia artificial y para iniciar la lactancia parcial.
