Overview

Cross-sectional survey highlights challenges in exclusive breastfeeding rates among Romanian mothers, suggesting need for support.

Key Points

  • Exclusive breastfeeding reported at only 56.1%, despite 87.2% intention to breastfeed, indicating a significant gap.
  • Maternal age ≥ 30 and Cesarean delivery linked to higher odds of not breastfeeding exclusively, impacting infant health.
  • Cross-sectional online survey collected data from 874 Romanian mothers on feeding practices and influencing factors.
  • Targeted support and education needed for new mothers, especially in maternity hospitals, to improve breastfeeding rates.
