A Spanish-speaking health care provider orally administered a 24-question survey to self-identified Latina mothers in the Newborn Nursery at North Carolina Children\u2019s Hospital after delivery. A total of 152 Latina mothers, aged 17 to 43 years, were interviewed from September 2014 to September 2015. Three decisive factors resulted from multivariate analysis regarding a participant\u2019s decision to exclusively breastfeed: age (27.3 years or younger); deciding about feeding method before pregnancy; and believing that exclusively breastfeeding is best for an infant\u2019s growth and development. Overall, 95% of Latina mothers made their decision regarding their infant\u2019s nutrition before delivery. Newborn nurseries have trended toward the allocation of substantial resources to the mission of enhancing the likelihood of breastfeeding initiation and success in the newborn period. Perhaps a reallocation of some of these resources for educational interventions earlier in pregnancy should be considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0009922817692317","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,27]],"date-time":"2017-02-27T22:57:50Z","timestamp":1488236270000},"page":"168-172","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Decisions Regarding Newborn Feeding by Latina Mothers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Amy","family":"Jones","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lara","family":"Reller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Knowles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Feng-Chang","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute (NC TraCS), Chapel Hill, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacob","family":"Lohr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0009922817692317","unstructured":"Byrd TL, Balcazar H, Hummer RA.
