Observational Study
The Influence of Maternal Personality and Risk Factors for Impaired Mother-Infant Bonding on Breastfeeding Duration.
Throughout the world, in delivery departments having the accreditation "Baby-Friendly Hospital," breastfeeding is encouraged upon delivery. Numerous studies have been carried out to assess the relationship between breastfeeding and socioeconomic, psychosocial, and perinatal factors. ⋯ It is important to conduct further studies to explore whether the early identification of at-risk mothers, and the availability of psychological support in the immediate postpartum period, would allow them to benefit from these interventions and, thus, address breastfeeding duration.
