Logistic regression models examined associations between work hours, demographic characteristics, physical activity, sedentary behavior, and breastfeeding status. Moderation analyses assessed whether physical activity or sedentary behavior modified the relationship between work hours and breastfeeding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants working \u226535\u00a0hours per week had significantly lower odds of breastfeeding than those not working (OR = 3.76, 95% CI [1.91, 7.40]) or working fewer than 35\u00a0hours per week (OR = 6.68, 95% CI [3.01, 14.82]). Older age, higher educational attainment, being married or partnered, and having a normal body mass index were associated with greater odds of breastfeeding, whereas increasing months postpartum was associated with lower odds. Recreational physical activity demonstrated a small moderating effect that was not significant after correction for multiple comparisons. Sedentary behavior was not associated with breastfeeding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Full-time employment was associated with reduced breastfeeding among postpartum individuals.
