It is unknown whether these activities have been successful in promoting breastfeeding for at least 6 months. Many studies conducted about the predictors of breastfeeding duration examined special populations such as mothers receiving government assistance or mother in other countries (Kehler et al., 2009; Vaaler et al., 2010). It is difficult to generalize the findings of previous studies done in different types of populations to the types of patients seen at this hospital, and thus this study was generated.
