- Abstract
Aim: Based on the belief that women with small sized breast produce inadequate amount of milk and have short lasting breastfeeding period, we sought whether there has been any relationship between the size of breast and lasting time of breastfeeding period. Additionally we investigated the effects of maternal age and parity of patients on lasting breastfeeding period. Material and Methods: Nine hundred-forty three patients were included in this study. Two hundred-seventy five of the patients had 75 unit or less sized (29.2%), 524 had 80-85 unit sized (55.6%) and 144 had 90 unit or over sized (15.3%) breasts. 193 of the patients have been excluded from the study due to lack of the data on these patients' lasting time of breastfeeding period. Mean lasting time of breastfeeding period of remaining 750 patients was calculated as (mean±SD) months. Results: Mean lasting time of breastfeeding period of remaining 750 patients was calculated as (mean±SD) 3.8±8.4 months. When lasting time of breastfeeding period in 3 groups of patients according to unit breast size were compared, difference was not statistically significant (p=0,698). Also it was shown that maternal age and parity of patients had no statistically significant effect on lasting time of breastfeeding period (p=0,094; p=0,070). Conclusion: As a result, we demonstrated that factors such as breast size, young maternal age and primiparity have no unfavourable effect on lasting time of breastfeeding period.
