Women who initiated breastfeeding tended to have higher adult attachment coherence scores (more secure attachment) than those who did not initiate breastfeeding (median score of 6.00 vs 4.00). An interaction was observed between negative infant affect and beliefs about crying related to spoiling, such that earlier cessation of breastfeeding was observed among mothers who reported high levels of negative infant affect and strongly endorsed the belief that responding to cries spoils infants (hazard ratio = 1.71, P &lt; .01).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although these psychosocial variables predicted relatively little variation in breastfeeding over and above covariates, the results suggest some novel approaches to promote breastfeeding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0890334414537707","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,18]],"date-time":"2014-06-18T04:49:49Z","timestamp":1403066989000},"page":"480-487","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Psychosocial Predictors of Primiparous Breastfeeding Initiation and Duration"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Meagan E.","family":"Mathews","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Esther M.","family":"Leerkes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cheryl A.","family":"Lovelady","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey D.","family":"Labban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0890334414537707","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Health and Human Services.
