Abstract
In France, 53% of women choose to breast-feed. But only a few data concerning breastfeeding duration and the reasons of ending it exist. Therefore, the authors of the study followed 126 primaparas during six months after birth. The aim of this study was to assess the breastfeeding rate on the day of birth, after three months and six months, and to examine why women had to stop nursing before six months as recommended by World Health Organization and United Nations Children's Fund. Results show that a good part of primiparas choose to breast-feed, and that difficulties related to breastfeeding are mostly responsible for interruption before three months, while, after three months, women stop breastfeeding to go back to work. A better postnatal accompaniment appears to be a priority.
