Abstract
Primigravida status adversely affects breastfeeding scores; therefore counseling and support should be focused on this group. Extra care should also be taken to ensure adequate breastfeeding by younger mothers and in those with low birth weight infants. Larger studies with long-term follow up will be able to identify other factors and dertermine the effects of focused counseling and support in the perinatal period upon long-term breastfeeding rates.
