Abstract:

<p> Breastfeeding has been identified as the perfect source of infant nutrition. Improving the rates and duration of breastfeeding is a global public health concern. Even though facilitators and barriers to successful breastfeeding have been identified in the literature, rates of breastfeeding fall below desired targets. Maternal characteristics such as body image and eating attitudes have been examined with respect to pregnancy and birth outcomes, yet have been less studied with respect to infant feeding choice. Based on existing literature it is possible that poor body image and /or disorder

Two-thirds of UK mothers begin breastfeeding, but many soon stop. Although breastfeeding benefits health, infant feeding is influenced by social and attitudinal factors.

Manual social class and considering bottle feeding did so for primiparae. Perceived insufficient milk was the commonest reason for stopping.

Background: Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and their babies are at a high risk for developing health conditions that can be reduced if they breastfeed on discharge from hospital.

The thesis explores how women are involved in meaning-making and knowledge production on breastfeeding, through specific forms of social media participation and embodied activism (lactivism).

Background: Breastfeeding confers health and social benefits on both mother and baby and is thus a key global public health priority, with exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months recommended. A variety of factors can influence a woman’s decision to initiate breastfeeding but a short duration of breastfeeding appears to be common in developed countries. In the UK, promotion of breastfeeding has been government policy since 1974 and gradually the incidence has increased. In Scotland in 2010 the incidence was 74% but by one week 17% of women had given up. A minority of women find that th

This thesis addresses some key methodological problems in statistical modelling of breastfeeding data. Meta-analysis techniques were used to analyse aggregated breastfeeding data. Generalised linear mixed model and an extended Cox model were used with time-varying exposures to analyse longitudinal and time-to-event breastfeeding data, respectively. Shared frailty models were applied to correlated breastfeeding duration data controlling for heterogeneity. A novel two-part mixed-effects model was proposed for modelling clustered time-to-event breastfeeding data with clumping at zero.

To the mother, it is suggested to reduce type 2 diabetes, breast cancer, as well as ovarian cancer.

Despite substantial evidence that breastfeeding is the optimal way to feed the healthy, full-term infant, data show that, although most mothers in the United States start out breastfeeding their infants, there are often barriers to continued breastfeeding beyond the first few weeks or months.
