Abstract:

Objective: to identify factors associated with the continuity of breastfeeding for 12 months or more in women workers. Method: cross-sectional study conducted through interviews with 251 women workers of a hospital with biological children, aged between 12 and 36 months, non-twin, without disease affecting breastfeeding and breastfeeding when returning to work. For the association between the continuity of breastfeedingand the exposure variables it was used the multivariable Poisson regression. Results: Only one variable related to the woman’s workplace showed a significant association with the outcome. Working during the day increased in 37% the breastfeeding prevalence for 12 months or more. The factors not directly related to the woman workplace who showed positive association with the outcome: mothers with no university degree; mothers with breastfeeding experience longer than 12 months; child not receiving another milk when mother returned to work and not to make use of pacifier. On the other hand, the mother’s older age, higher gestational age, supportthe child’s caregiver and professional support in breastfeeding were negatively associated with the outcome. Conclusion: Factors not directly related to maternal work had greater participation in the continuity of breastfeeding for 12 months or more.
