Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the factors that affect the breastfeeding of late preterm infants (gestation age 34??~36??) in South Korea.

Method: A cross-sectional and questionnaire-based survey was conducted on 178 mothers of 209 late preterm infants discharged from a university hospital. We collected data on participants¡¯ demographics, breastfeeding-related characteristics and current status of breastfeeding and analyzed them using SPSS.

Results: Breastfeeding duration varied significantly according to the number of babies born (t=3.691, p<.001), birth order (F=6.416, p=.002), type of feeding planned (F=8.691, p<.001), planned breastfeeding period(F=24.779, p<.001), previous baby¡¯s breastfeeding type(F= 8.510, p<.001), previous baby¡¯s breastfeeding duration(F=10.589, p<.001). The mothers with incomes of 3-5 million won a month were less likely to continue breastfeeding than those with incomes over 5 million won (CI: 0.049-0.086: p=0.035).

Conclusion: Our results are meaningful in that we revealed that mother¡¯s monthly income influenced breastfeeding continuation, first-time mothers and mothers of multiples were at risk of breastfeeding difficulties. Interventions for helping late preterm infants¡¯ mothers establish breastfeeding and maintain an adequate milk supply are vital.
