The impact of psychosocial factors on breastfeeding duration in the BaBi-Study. Analysis of a birth cohort study in Germany

  • Breastfeeding is beneficial for both mother and child. A breastfed child can benefit from improved mental developments, protection against infectious diseases and infectious disease mortality, and a decreased risk of overweight and obesity (Whalen and Cramton 2010)(Regional Office for Europe (World Health Organisation) 2019). Furthermore, there is evidence on protection against type 1 and 2 diabetes, allergic rhinitis, asthma or wheezing, atopic dermatitis, childhood leukemia, hypercholesterolemia later in life, sudden infant death syndrome (Whalen and Cramton 2010) and malocclusion (Victora et al. 2016). Breastfeeding women have a lower risk of breast and ovarian cancer, postpartum depression, and type 2 diabetes. They can, furthermore, benefit from prolonged lactational amenorrhea (Victora et al. 2016), improved postpartum sleep (Whalen and Cramton 2010) and postpartum weight loss (Kramer and Kakuma 2012).
