I know Anne McKechnie, the author of the article in the new Sage
Publications journal, although slightly. She is a PhD student in
Nursing at University of Wisconsin - Madison. She is a former La
Leche League leader (in Minnesota) and VERY supportive of
breastfeeding. She has come to our local Breastfeeding Promotion
Network meetings, and has tried to promote breastfeeding within the
School of Nursing here.
Sage Publications also publishes the ILCA journal, "The Journal of
Human Lactation."
Here is the abstract of the article:
Maternal Variables Influencing Duration of Breastfeeding Among Low-

This study used a retrospective comparison of 2 naturally occurring
groups, first to examine how exclusive versus partial breastfeeding
relates to duration of breastfeeding and, second, to determine if
factors such as age and body mass index are associated with exclusive
versus partial breastfeeding duration. These factors were
hypothesized to influence the amount of breastfeeding in a sample of
42 low-income mothers enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Program
for Women, Infants, and Children of a predominately rural, Midwestern
county. This study examined de-identified data from a state database
spanning a calendar year. Breastfeeding behavior, age, and body mass
index measurements for mothers giving birth within the first 6 months
of that year were analyzed. Exclusive breastfeeding mothers breastfed
longer, were of older age, and had lower body mass indexes than
partial breastfeeding mothers. These findings further describe
characteristics of low-income breastfeeding women. Understanding how
factors associated with exclusive versus partial breastfeeding affect
breastfeeding duration may inform clinicians and researchers of areas
for future interventions.
Key Words: exclusive breastfeeding • partial breastfeeding • low
income • WIC • BMI
I did not know how to access the whole article without paying $25, so
I 've just read the abstract.
