| مستخلص: | The purpose of this study was to compare reasons for choosing to breastfeed, timing of the infant feeding decision, and intended duration of breastfeeding between adolescent and adult mothers. The study population consisted of primiparous teens and adults who were matched by ethnicity, and interviewed within 48 hours postpartum at the University of California, San Diego Medical Center from August to December, 1989. Of the 48 women in each age group, there were 40 Hispanics, 5 non-Hispanic whites, 2 blacks, and 1 Southeast Asian. Results showed that the teens differed from their adult counterparts in that they cited naturalness or convenience less often as a reason for breastfeeding. The adolescent mothers were also less likely than the adults to make the decision to breastfeed before the pregnancy, than during pregnancy or after birth. There was no difference in intended duration of breastfeeding between these two groups: the majority of women planned to breastfeed for less than 26 weeks. Early introduction of infant feeding education may serve to increase the adolescent's knowledge base from which to make the decision to breastfeed. Even though the adolescents intended to breastfeed for as long as the adults, they may benefit from increased exposure to prenatal care and childbirth classes as well as from a supportive school or work environment in order to achieve success in breastfeeding. |

This trend is particularly pronounced among adolescent mothers. The authors interviewed primiparous teens and adults matched by ethnicity to compare their reasons for choosing to breastfeed, the timing of the infant feeding decision, and the intended duration of breastfeeding. One group of mothers was of mean age 17.1 years in the range of 14-18 years, while the other group was of mean age 27.9 years in the range of 23-33 years. There were 48 women in each age group; forty Hispanics, five non-Hispanic Whites, two Blacks, and one southeast Asian. The participants were interviewed within 48 hours postpartum at the University of California, San Diego Medical Center during August-December 1989. Adolescent mothers cited naturalness or convenience less often than the older women as reasons for breastfeeding. The younger mothers were also less likely than the adults to make the decision to breastfeed before the pregnancy than during pregnancy or after birth. There was no difference in intended duration of breastfeeding between the two groups, with the majority of women planning to breastfeed for less than 26 weeks. The authors suggest that increased exposure to prenatal care and childbirth classes as well as supportive school and work environments may help younger mothers to successfully breastfeed. |
