ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
While the rate of breast-feeding has been rising recently in many countries, it has been gradually falling in Korea. Accordingly, we took a survey in Jeon-ju to discover the actual state of breast-feeding and find a solution.METHODS:
Eight hundred and sixty-four questionnaires of filled out by mothers who visited the seven local pediatric clinics and the clinic of pediatric department in the Presbyterian Medical Center(PMC) in Jeon-ju from January 1998 to June 1998 were analysed by ANOVA, cross analysis, frequency analysis and correlation analysis using SPSS program.RESULTS:
In the case of six-months-old babies, the breast-feeding rate was 35.6%. The breast-feeding rate was higher when it came to a normal delivery, and was also related to the inperiority of infant birth order and lack of maternal academic background(P<0.05). The main reasons to switch from successful breast-feeding to formula-feeding before 6 months of age were insufficient breast-milk(49.3%). The survey shows the best thing for a infant's health is breast milk (86.0%).CONCLUSION:
In order to increase the rate of breast-feeding, it's essential to educate people in school and it is necessary to create a hospital environment in which mothers can easily begin breast-feeding as soon as possible after delivery.
