Thank you for a very interesting article.
On page e579, the paragraph under the heading "Mothers' Preexisting
Concerns and Breastfeeding Duration", affirms that NO association was
found between preexisting concerns and breasfeeding duration and then
states the opposite in the following sentence (that preexisting concerns
WERE associated with breastfeeding duration - more concerns, shorter
breast feeding duration). Can the authors please clarify if there was in
fact an association, and if so, if it was modified by any other factors
(maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, maternal education)?
