Diary methodology was used to generate 27 weekly measures of breastfeeding and room-sharing during the infant\u2019s first 6\u2009months. Multilevel mixed effects models were used to examine trajectories of breastfeeding and room-sharing and to test whether mothers\u2019 own adult attachment style predicted the initiation and course of these behaviors, adjusting for covariates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Most (86%) mothers initiated breastfeeding immediately after birth and the rates of breastfeeding declined steadily over the 6\u2009months (b = \u22122.47, SE = 0.19, p &amp;lt; .001). Mothers with higher attachment avoidance showed faster decreases in breastfeeding than less avoidant mothers (b = \u22121.07, SE = 0.21, p &amp;lt; .001). Sixty-four percent of mothers engaged in room-sharing after birth which also decreased steadily over the 6\u2009months (b = \u22123.51, SE = 0.21, p &amp;lt; .001). Mothers\u2019 attachment style did not predict the initiation or course of room-sharing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Given the major implications of breastfeeding and room-sharing for infants\u2019 health, safety, and development, the pediatrics community has issued clear guidelines encouraging these behaviors. Yet many new parents do not adhere to the recommended practices.
