摘要：ObjectiveTo assess factors associated with infant feeding practices on the first day at homeafter hospital discharge.MethodsA total of 209 women, who had a child aged four months or less and were living inItapira, Brazil, were interviewed during the National Immunization Campaign Day in1999. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test and a logisticregression model was used for verifying an association between dependent andindependent variables.ResultsWomen aged 25.5 years on average and 18.2% were teenagers. Fifty-three percent ofthe women delivered vaginally and most vaginal deliveries (78.5%) took place in thepublic hospital. The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding on the first day at homewas 78.1% and 11.6% of the infants were receiving formula at this time. The onlyfactor associated with EBF on the first day at home was being a teenaged-primiparousmother (OR=9.40; 95%CI: 1.24-71.27). This association remained statisticallysignificant even after controlling for type of delivery and hospital where the birth tookplace. Feeding formula on the first day at home was only significantly associated withthe hospital (i.e., birth at the city hospital was a protective factor (OR=0.33; 95%CI:0.13-0.86), even after controlling for vaginal delivery.ConclusionsOn the first day at home after hospital discharge, teenaged-primiparous mothers weremore likely to exclusive breastfeeding as well as those infants born in the municipalpublic hospital. Further studies are needed from a multidisciplinary approach.
