Effect on risk
No specified but adjusted for in
backwards conditional Cox regression
model
There was no significant independent
association between risk of cessation
of breastfeeding and whether a
mother intended in the early post
partum period to have returned to
work (either part or fulltime) by 6
months post partum.
Risk of discontinuing any BF
Adj HR (95% CI)
< 6 mo 1.69 (1.28-2.34)
6-12 mo 1.50 (1.07-2.09)
Risk of discontinuing full BF
Adj HR (95% CI)
< 6 mo 1.42 (10.08-1.88)
6-12 mo 1.63 (1.18-2.25)
Return to work before 12 months was
negatively associated with the duration
of full and any breastfeeding.
