A total of 251 women participated in the parent study. After excluding women with missing data, the sample was reduced to 182-249 participants depending on the variables of interest. Although 79.1% (of 249 participants) reported at the baseline (prepartum) visit that they intended to breast feed, only 40.2% (of 199 participants) reported any breast feeding at 8 weeks postpartum. Chi-square analyses indicated that intervention group was not significant ly associate with breast-feeding status at 8 weeks postpartum. Notably, 20.0% (of 199 participants; nearly half of breast-feeding women) reported that they had relapsed to smoking and were still breast feeding at 8 weeks postpartum reported that they had discontinued breast feeding after an average of 3.94 (SD=2.87) weeks. Characteristics associated with any breast feeding at 8 weeks postpartum included Caucasian race/ethnicity, greater education, higher annual household income, and being married or living with a significant other. See Table 1 for participants characteristics overall and by breast-feeding status at 8 weeks postpartum
