Demographic and Psychosocial Correlates of Exclusive Breastfeeding Duration in Indonesia

摘要

In Indonesia, exclusive breastfeeding practices are followed by only 46% of mothers, resulting in USD $118 million in health costs annually [2, 3]. Though previous studies have addressed demographic factors related to breastfeeding [5, 6], few studies have examined the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding duration and mother's psychosocial characteristics [5, 6, 7, 8]. Our study used the Indonesian Family Life Survey 5 Wave survey (IFLS5) from 2014–2015 to evaluate if demographic and psychosocial factors are associated with exclusive breastfeeding duration among Indonesian mothers [7, 8].
