Correlation between Infantile Colic and Maternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy, Breastfeeding Success and Breast Milk Amount.
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics 2019 August 2
AIM: The study was conducted to determine the correlation between infantile colic and maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding success and breast milk amount.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This descriptive study included 154 mothers, with infants of age between 3 weeks and 6 months who were diagnosed with infantile colic and who were admitted to the paediatric outpatient clinics of a hospital located in northern Turkey.
RESULT: A negative correlation was found between 'parent-infant interaction + problem infant' and 'immature gastrointestinal system' subscales of the Infantile Colic Scale (ICS) and the total mean scores of mothers on the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale. In addition, correlation analysis showed a statistically significant negative correlation between mean scores of mothers in breastfeeding success and subscale and total mean scores of ICS.
CONCLUSION: The breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding success is low in mothers of infants with infantile colic.
