Risk factors that influence early cessation of breastfeeding

Authors

Keywords:

Early cessation, Risk factors, Breastfeeding

Abstract

Introduction: Breastfeeding provides infants with the nutrients necessary for their healthy growth and development. The reasons why mothers chose to start artificial or mixed breastfeeding are the mother's occupation (work, student), low milk production, and to a lesser extent, mastalgia and cracked nipples.

Objective: to describe the risk factors that influence the mother to abandon breastfeeding early.

Methods: a bibliographic review was carried out by consulting original articles, case reports and open access systematic reviews in peer-reviewed academic publications from the last 5 years. The databases of ScieELO, Regmed, Dialnet, Mayoclinic, among others, were reviewed. The search terms included care; risk factors; breastfeeding; Sars-Cov-2; as well as its translation into English.

Development: Early cessation of breastfeeding is conditioned by a series of factors, generally of maternal origin and under the influence of certain economic, psychological and cultural conditions.

Conclusions: The factors that influence mothers to stop breastfeeding early are early motherhood, low educational level, socio-cultural taboos, marital stability, maternal occupation and the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
