Notes
Despite
the
efforts
of
American
Academy
of
Pediatrics
and
other
supporting
breastfeeding
protocols
, the
reluctance
to
breastfeed
is
a
major
problem
throughout
the
world
.
Studies
have
suggested
that
breastfeeding
is
the
optimal
source
of
infant
food
because
of its
health
benefits
to the
mother
and
child
.
Many
studies
have
reported
factors
that have
shown
associations
with
breastfeeding
intentions
and
actual
practice
.
Women's
intentions
to
breastfeed
are
planned
behaviors
,
which
contribute
to
breastfeeding
. The
purpose
of this
study
is
to
determine
if
factors
such
as
attitudes
and
beliefs
,
age
, and
education
are
factors
that
influence
the
initiation
and
duration
of
breastfeeding
.
It
was
hypothesized
that
breastfeeding
is
initiated
based
on
people's
,
attitudes
, and
beliefs
.
It
is
further
hypothesized
that
age
and
education
are
factors
that
contribute
to the
initiation
and
duration
of
breastfeeding
.
One
hundred
participants
were
recruited
from the
greater
Hartford
area
in
Connecticut
.
All
participants
completed
a
demographic
and
two
breastfeeding
questionnaires
assessing
attitudes
and
beliefs
. The
results
revealed
a
relationship
between
age
and
health
beliefs
and
attitudes
.
Further
,
number
of
years
of
education
influenced
breastfeeding
attitudes
. The
results
have
implications
for
understanding
breastfeeding
behavior
.
