ABSTRACT
Aims
Exclusive breastfeeding plays an important role in the growth and promotion of children's health in the first six months of their life. The exclusive breastfeeding has been decreasing in Iran in recent years. The objective of this study was to investigate the factors associated with the exclusive breastfeeding in Isfahan province, Iran.
Materials & Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on women with infants less than 6 months of age who referred to the urban and rural health centers of Golpayegan, Isfahan and Falavarjan counties (561 people) of Isfahan province between 2007 and 2008. The data were collected using a questionnaire and interview. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 15 software and logistic regression model.
Findings Most of the infants (85.6%) fed colostrum. The exclusive breastfeeding levels in the urban and rural regions were found as 25.9% and 32.4%, respectively. Delayed onset of lactation (p<0.05) and cesarean section (p<0.05) were associated with reduction in exclusive breastfeeding, while having a female gender (p<0.01) and receiving postpartum lactation training (p<0.001) showed a positive association with exclusive breastfeeding.
Conclusion Delayed onset of lactation and cesarean section reduce the level of exclusive breastfeeding in infants less than 6 months of age in urban and rural communities of Isfahan. However, having a female gender and receiving postpartum lactation training increase the level of exclusive breastfeeding.
