Results revealed that the breastfeeding initiation rate was 93.75%, but exclusive
breastfeeding rates at 4 months and 6 months had reduced to 34.19% and 3.31%, respectively.
There were significant positive relationships between exclusive breastfeeding at 4 months
and breastfeeding knowledge, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived breastfeeding control.
A negative relationship was found between exclusive breastfeeding at 4 months and working
status. A logistic regression analysis indicated that all of five breastfeeding factors could
significantly predict exclusive breastfeeding at 4 months. The implication of this study
to nursing practice lies in that nurses should provide enough breastfeeding knowledge,
encourage new mothers’ positive breastfeeding attitude, change their significant others,
and strengthen their breastfeeding control
