| Abstract |
Successful breastfeeding often starts with prenatally established intention. Yet, few mothers with the intention to exclusively breastfeed achieve their intended breastfeeding duration goal. This study examined the degree to which having a strong value of exclusive breastfeeding is associated with exclusive breastfeeding duration for at least 3 and 6 months postpartum among women who reported prenatal intention to exclusively breastfeed. Data were from the Infant Feeding Practices Study II, a longitudinal US national survey that followed maternal-infant dyads from pregnancy to 1 year postpartum. Bivariate and multivariate regression examined the degree to which strong maternal value of exclusive breastfeeding predicted exclusive breastfeeding duration. Of the 1799 women who prenatally intended to exclusively breastfeed within the first few weeks postpartum, 34 and 9 % exclusively breastfed for at least 3 months and 6 months, respectively. Thirty-six percent of women reported strongly valuing exclusive breastfeeding out of which 46 % exclusively breastfeed to three months. In adjusted results, women who reported that they strongly value exclusive breastfeeding had more than twice the odds of exclusive breastfeeding for at least 3 months (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] 2.29; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.84, 2.85) and for 6 months (AOR 2.49; 95 % CI 1.76, 3.53) compared to those who did not strongly value exclusive breastfeeding. Valuing the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding during pregnancy is a strong independent predictor of actual exclusive breastfeeding duration. A minority of pregnant women strongly value exclusive breastfeeding and are able to exclusively breastfeed to 3 months even among women with established prenatal intention to exclusively breastfeed. Prenatal maternal education and environmental lactation support that extends into the postnatal period can promote longer duration of exclusive breastfeeding. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 April 2016.
All research outputs
#2,341,395
of 22,862,742 outputs
Outputs from International Breastfeeding Journal
#104
of 539 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,196
of 300,876 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Breastfeeding Journal
#1
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,862,742 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 539 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 300,876 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
