目标。我们的目标是确定为什么女性在婴儿出生第一年的不同时间停止母乳喂养。方法：我们分析了1323名母亲的自我报告数据，这些母亲参与了婴儿喂养实践研究II。我们向出生后2、3、4、5、6、7、9、10 1/2和12个月的母亲发送了邮寄问卷，要求她们评估决定停止母乳喂养的32个原因的重要性。我们应用探索性因素分析来提取母亲对这32个原因的反应的有意义的结构。然后，我们比较了不同断奶年龄的母亲中表示每个原因对她们决定停止母乳喂养具有重要意义的母亲的百分比，并使用多元Logistic回归模型检验了最常被引用的停止母乳喂养原因的社会人口学差异。结果：在母亲决定停止母乳喂养的前三个原因中，仅靠母乳不满意的感觉一直被引用为母亲的前三个原因之一(43.5%-55.6%)，在西班牙裔母亲和家庭年收入为
OBJECTIVES. Our goal was to determine why women stop breastfeeding at various times during their infant's first year.METHODS. We analyzed self-reported data from 1323 mothers who participated in the Infant Feeding Practice Study II. Mail questionnaires were sent to mothers similar to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 1/2, and 12 months after their child's birth, in which they were asked to rate the importance of 32 reasons for their decision to stop breastfeeding. We applied exploratory factorial analysis to extract meaningful constructs of mothers' responses to the 32 reasons. We then compared the percentages of mothers who indicated that each reason was important in their decision to stop breastfeeding among various weaning ages and used multiple logistic regression models to examine sociodemographic differences in the most frequently cited reasons for stopping breastfeeding.RESULTS. The perception that their infant was not satisfied by breast milk alone was cited consistently as 1 of the top 3 reasons in the mothers' decision to stop breastfeeding regardless of weaning age (43.5%-55.6%) and was even more frequent among Hispanic mothers and mothers with annual household incomes of
