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- 
Income Mothers

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.
