目标。本研究采用纵向数据研究工作状态对母乳喂养开始和持续时间的影响。来自邮件小组的母亲在怀孕后期完成了问卷调查，在婴儿的第一年完成了10次问卷调查。母亲的工作状态被分类为开始时按她预期的工作时间，分娩前工作时间和持续时间按她在第3个月的工作时间。协变量为人口统计学；奇偶性;医疗、分娩和医院经验；社会支持;尴尬;和健康促进，结果与期望不工作相比，期望兼职既没有降低也没有增加母乳喂养的可能性(优势比[or] = .83和。89， p大于。50)，但期望全职工作降低了母乳喂养的可能性（OR = 0.47, P < 0.01）。产后3个月全职工作使母乳喂养时间平均减少8.6周（P < 0.05）。001)相对于不工作，但每天4小时或更少的兼职工作不会影响持续时间，每天超过4小时的兼职工作比全职工作对持续时间的影响更小。兼职工作是帮助母亲将母乳喂养与就业结合起来的有效策略。
Objectives. In this study, longitudinal data are used to examine the effect of work status on breast-feeding initiation and duration.Methods. Mothers from a mail panel completed questionnaires during late pregnancy and 10 times in the infant's first year. Mother's work status was categorized for initiation by hours she expected, before delivery to work and for duration by hours she worked at month 3. Covariates were demographics; parity; medical, delivery, and hospital experiences; social support; embarrassment; and health promotion.Results. Expecting to work part-time neither decreased nor increased the probability of breast-feeding relative to expecting not to work (odds ratios [ORs] = .83 and .89, p greater-than .50), but expecting to work full-time decreased the probability of breast-feeding (OR = .47, P less-than .01). Working full-time at 3 months postpartum decreased breast-feeding duration by an average of 8.6 weeks (P less-than .001) relative to not working, but part-time work of 4 or fewer hours per day did not affect duration and part-time work of more than 4 hours per day decreased duration less than full-time work.Conclusion. Part-time work is an effective strategy to help mothers combine breast-feeding and employment.
