Özet
TRACT Objective: Mothers returning to work can be an obstacle to breastfeeding. In this study, the socio-demographic characteristics of the mothers and families who returned to work in the first year after birth were investigated and it was aimed to determine the effect of the timing of mothers' re-employment on breastfeeding. Material and Methods: The study is a cross-sectional study, with retrospective cohort features for evaluation of some data. It was conducted at Bakirkoÿ Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training Hospital, Well-Child Clinic. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the mothers who started to work in the first year after birth and those who did not in terms of breastfeeding. Mothers who started to work before sixth months have higher rates of cessation of breastfeeding in the first year than mothers who started to work after 6th month. The ratio of breastfeeding up to 1 year of age in the second child was found to be higher than that of the first child. Mothers working in public sector were found to have higher rates of return to work in the first year after birth compared to those working in the private sector. Conclusion: It has been demonstrated that mothers returning to work in the first year after birth have similar breastfeeding continuity as non-working mothers. Mothers who returned to work within the first 6 months after birth were found to have shorter breastfeeding period. Early starting to work in the first 6 months after birth seems to be serious risk on lengthy breastfeeding.
