Breastfeeding Among Low-Income Women With and Without Peer Support

Pages 163-178
Published online: 07 Jun 2010
 

This research examined the effect of peer support on breastfeeding duration and exclusivity (breastfeeding without supplements) in a population of low-income women during the first 3 months postpartum. Participants in the peer counselor group (n = 18) exhibited higher rates of exclusive breastfeeding across time than those without a counselor (n = 18), and more exclusive breastfeeding was associated with longer duration overall.
