Rivera Salvador Villalpando Teresa Shamah Eric A. Monterrubio Salud breast Mexico feeding exclusive breast feeding duration Objective. To assess breast-feeding (BF) practices and determinantsof exclusive BF (EBF) <4 and <6 months (mo)among women and infants <23 mo in the NNS-1999. Materialand Methods. BF practices from the day and nightbefore the interview were ascertained, and median durationestimated. Determinants of EBF<4 and <6 mo wereanalysed by logistic regression models for complex surveys.Results. Prevalence of EBF<4 mo was 25.7%, and of <6 mo20.3%. The overall rate of continued BF (second year) was30.9%, median duration of BF 9 mo, and the national proportionof children ever breast-fed 92.3%. The probability(p) of EBF<4 mo was determined by infant age and sex, bymaternal socio-economic level (SEL) and ethnicity, and bythe interaction between infant sex and SEL. The pEBF<6 mowas determined by infant age and length, by maternal ethnicity,and employment. Conclusions. EBF rates and durationare low in Mexico and have improved only slightly inthe last 20 y. Infant and maternal characteristics determinethe pEBF. If improvements in infant health are a nationalpriority, aggressive interventions to promote and protectBF are urgently needed in Mexico, as well as formal evaluationof current initiatives.
