The aims of this study were to survey feeding methods of the primiparous women who had given birth.
The subjects of this study were 161 primiparous mothers who had visited two health centers in Sungnam to get vaccinations for their babies.
The data were collected from December 8 to 17, 1991 by means of a questionnaire.
All data were analyzed using the SPSS programs. ANOVA, Chi-square and t-tests were appropriately used respectively. P values less than 0.05 are considered to be statistically significant. Some data were analyzed by content analysis.
The results of this study were as follows;
The ages of the mothers ranged from 19 to 35 years and the mean age of the subjects was 27.29 years.
The ages of the babies ranged from 1 to 60 months and the mean age of the subjects was 12.0 months.
The majority of the mothers had hardly been given any professional advice on breastfeeding.
The commonest reason for breastfeeding was that it was "best for babies and mothers".
37 (23.0 %) of the women who started breastfeeding continued to do so for more-than 6 months. According to the data 98 (60.9%) of mothers initiated breastfeeding, and approximately 40 (40.8 %) stopped it after 1 week - 5 months.
79 women who were selected as the subjects of this study were in the period of from 1 months to 6 months after their child birth. The breast feeding group was composed of 28 (35.4 %) primiparas and the artificial feeding group of 22 (27.8%) primiparas.
