Significant others, situations and their influences on infant feeding. Secondary analysis of data from: A prospective study exploring the early infant feeding experiences of parents and their significant others during the first 6 months of life: what would make a difference?

Research Output

This study examines the range of influences on infant feeding behaviour from late pregnancy until six months after birth, which lead parents to introduce formula or solids, or to stop breastfeeding prior to the recommended six months. It reveals that a complex and dynamic combination of people, situations and personal experiences affect feeding behaviour initiation and maintenance and precipitate or prevent change.
