abstract: 'Background: Breastfeeding is known to be the best source of nutrition
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for infants. The World Health Organization recommends to exclusively
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
breastfeed up to the sixth month of life and to breastfeed with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
complementary foods until the age of 2. It is reported that maternity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
leave (ML) is one of the most important interventions for an extended
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
breastfeeding duration. The aim of this review is to synthesize the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
available data worldwide on the association of ML and breastfeeding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
duration. We also intend to provide an overview of whether this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
association is differential by socioeconomic status. Materials and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods: Relevant primary studies relating ML and breastfeeding were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
included by searching several databases, including PubMed, SCielo,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Health Systems Evidence, Health Evidence, Cochrane Reviews, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Epistemonikos. Articles were included up to May 2018. Results: A total
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of 239 relevant articles were identified, of them 21 were included in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the review based on exposure, outcome, and study design. These studies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reported that an extended ML might be related to breastfeeding duration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, studies reporting data on work type, race, and education
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
showed that black women, women in less privileged position, and women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with less education have less breastfeeding duration. Conclusions: This
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
review showed a positive relationship between ML length and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
breastfeeding duration. These results have a homogeneous trend; however,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this was different when studies reported results on ML and breastfeeding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stratified by socioeconomic status. Public health policies should ensure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that all women, especially the most vulnerable, have equal access to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
benefits that ML provides.'
