Abstract
The study was designed to investigate the cessation factors associated with the exclusive breastfeeding in the Miramichi region. It was a descriptive cross-sectional and analytical study, which took place from 2011 to 2014. A total of 294 mothers and their 294 children aged from 0 to 42 months constituted the study population.The data collection concerning the breastfeeding in infant was done by questionnaire addressed to the parents. A multivariate statistical analysis was realized to identify the determinants of the exclusive breastfeeding cessation. The adjusted Odds Ratio (ORa) and their interval were calculated. The average age of mothers and the duration of breastfeeding were respectively 26.86 ± 6.44 years and 19.22 ± 3.28 months. In multivariate analysis, the early cessation of exclusive breastfeeding is associated with the maternal age (adjusted odds ratio (ORa) = 1.2), the level of education of the mother (ORa) = 1.6), the mode of feeding (ORa) = 1.9), and the duration of breastfeeding (ORa) = 2.2); which are predictors of childhood obesity in Miramichi. We have identified modifiable factors in order to improve the practice of exclusive breastfeeding in Miramichi Factors associated with cessation of exclusive breastfeeding before six months among mothers in the Miramichi region (Canada)
