ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction:
Breastfeeding promotion is one of the most effective strategies to prevent child malnutrition; it reduces costs to families, health services and society. In Colombia, exclusive breastfeeding is practiced only by 10% of women.Objective:
To identify factors associated with the duration of exclusive breastfeeding.Methods:
A cohort of 438 primiparous women was followed during 6 months by means of 8 home interviews, in order to determine the duration of exclusive breastfeeding. Individual, family and health service factors were studied; and survival analysis was carried out.Results:
At 8 days, only a few more than half of the participants maintained exclusive breastfeeding; at month 6 of follow-up, this proportion was reduced to 1.4%. The duration of exclusive breastfeeding was determined by initiation of breastfeeding in the first 4 hours after delivery (HR= 4.07, 95% CI 0.96-16.67), self-perceived sureness for breastfeeding (HR= 1.28, 95% CI 1.04 -1.58), positive opinion of the baby's father regarding breastfeeding (HR= 1.26, 95% CI 1.01-1.57), and newborn weight (HR= 1.23, 95% CI 1.00-1.53).Conclusion:
There are factors before delivery and in the immediate puerperium that determine, partially, the duration of exclusive breastfeeding.RESUMEN
Resumen Introducción:
La promoción de la lactancia es una de las estrategias más efectivas para evitar la desnutrición infantil; reduce costos a las familias, los servicios de salud y la sociedad. En Colombia solo 10% de las mujeres practican la lactancia materna exclusiva.Objetivo:
Identificar factores asociados a la duración de la lactancia exclusiva.Métodos:
Se siguió durante 6 meses a una cohorte de 438 mujeres primíparas mediante 8 entrevistas domiciliarias para determinar la duración de lactancia exclusiva. Se estudiaron factores individuales, familiares y de servicios de salud y se realizó análisis de sobrevida.Resultados:
A los 8 días sólo un poco más de la mitad de participantes mantenía lactancia exclusiva; al mes 6 de seguimiento esta proporción se redujo a 1.4%. La duración de lactancia exclusiva estuvo determinada por inicio de lactancia en las primeras 4 horas pos-parto (HR= 4.07; IC 95% 0.96-16.67), seguridad auto-percibida para amamantar (HR= 1.28; IC 95% 1.04-1.58), opinión positiva del padre del bebé frente a lactancia (HR= 1.26; IC 95% 1.01-1.57) y peso de recién nacido (HR= 1.23; IC 95% 1.00-1.53).Conclusión:
Existen factores antes del parto y en el puerperio inmediato que determinan, parcialmente, la duración de la lactancia exclusiva.Key words
