Quantifying the Association between Pump Use and Breastfeeding Duration.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To quantify the extent to which pump use is associated with breastfeeding duration.

Study design

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of weighted data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System from Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, and Utah between 2016 and 2021. Included respondents had a live-born infant at survey completion, initiated breastfeeding, and had nonmissing data for reported pump use and breastfeeding duration. Using Cox proportional hazard regression, we quantified the hazard of breastfeeding cessation and median duration (weeks) of breastfeeding by pump use. Pump use was suspected to be differentially impacted by race and ethnicity; an interaction was tested in our regression model.
