Abstract
To identify the prevalence and determinants of continued breastfeeding in Haitian children aged 12–23 months.
Three cross-sectional surveys were conducted yearly during the summers of 2017 to 2019 as part of a 4-year (2016–2020) multisectoral maternal and infant health initiative in the regions of Les Cayes, Jérémie, and Anse d’Hainault in Haiti. A total of 455 children 12–23 months of age and their mothers participated in the study. A child was considered to be continuing breastfeeding if the mother reported giving breast milk in the 24-hour dietary recall. Unadjusted and adjusted prevalence ratios were estimated, and associations were assessed between continued breastfeeding and explanatory factors related to sociodemographic characteristics, household food security, maternal nutrition, and breastfeeding knowledge and practices.
The prevalence of continued breastfeeding was 45.8%. Continued breastfeeding was significantly more prevalent among younger children, children who did not have a younger sibling, children whose mother was not pregnant, those living in the Jérémie region, children who had been exclusively breastfed for less than 1 month, and children whose mother knew the World Health Organization’s recommendation for continued breastfeeding up to 2 years or beyond.
The study results highlight the need for geographically equitable access to tailored and adequate health services and education that support breastfeeding in a way that is compatible with the local context.
