Abstract

Objective: to describe the characteristics of mothers with children admitted in the Neonatal Medium Care Unit, and those factors associated with the maintenance of maternal breastfeeding (MBF) beyond 6 months.
Method: a descriptive study with a prospective basis, conducted at the Hospital Universitario Son Espases in Palma de Mallorca. The study population was formed by mothers of children admitted at the Neonatal Medium Care Unit who had initiated MBF. For data collection, a questionnaire was used at child admission, and another one at 6 months of age, through follow-up by telephone.
Results: the study included 218 mothers. After 6 months, only 37.6% maintained MBF. One of the main reasons for discontinuation was insufficient milk (34.9%). 61% of the mothers were over 30-year-old, 45.4% had secondary studies, and 97.2% were part of a two-parent family. The majority of labors had involved a Caesarean Section (52.8%). A 89.9% reported that they did not smoke; while 65.1% had no previous experience with MBF. A 92.9% made the decision of breastfeeding during pregnancy. It was demonstrated that there was a statistically significant association between maintenance of maternal breastfeeding and having one single child (p= 0.005), not smoking (p= 0.028) and having previous experience with MBF (p= 0.037).
Conclusions: when assigning priority to professional support resources, first-time mothers or those with a previous negative experience should be taken into account. Moreover, information / support should be provided regardless of the mothers’ age, their level of studies, type of family unit, employment status, type of labor, or gestational age.
