Abstrakt: Objectives: Diabetes may delay milk letdown, and perceiving milk production as insufficient can lead to breastfeeding cessation. We evaluated whether prepregnancy or gestational diabetes is associated with cessation of breastfeeding by 1 week postpartum.
Methods: We analyzed 2016-2018 data from 42 sites in the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, a population-based survey of women with a recent live birth. Participants were surveyed 2-6 months after childbirth. We used logistic regression models to evaluate the relationship between prepregnancy or gestational diabetes only and breastfeeding <1 week postpartum among women who had initiated breastfeeding.
Results: Among 82 050 women who initiated breastfeeding, 4.5% reported breastfeeding <1 week postpartum. Overall, 11.7% of women reported any history of diabetes in the 3 months before becoming pregnant; 3.3% reported prepregnancy diabetes, and 8.4% reported gestational diabetes only. In both unadjusted and adjusted models, the prevalence of breastfeeding <1 week postpartum did not differ significantly among women with prepregnancy diabetes or gestational diabetes only compared with women without any history of diabetes. The prevalence of breastfeeding <1 week postpartum was 4.4% among women without any history of diabetes, 5.6% among women with prepregnancy diabetes (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] = 1.15; 95% CI, 0.91-1.46), and 4.5% among women with gestational diabetes only (aPR = 1.01; 95% CI, 0.84-1.20).
Conclusions: We found no association between a history of diabetes prepregnancy or gestational diabetes only and breastfeeding <1 week postpartum in a large, population-based survey of postpartum women who initiated breastfeeding. Regardless of their diabetes status, women who want to breastfeed might benefit from interventions that support their ability to continue breastfeeding.
