The central result was that mothers had a neutral-to-positive attitude, with higher income and willingness to exclusively breastfeed being key determinants of a more positive attitude.
Univariate analysis found significantly higher attitude scores were associated with higher income, pregnancy complications, delivery complications, prematurity, intention to breastfeed, and willingness to breastfeed exclusively. A binary logistic regression model identified that, after adjusting for other variables, the strongest determinants of a positive attitude were having the highest family income (OR = 14.77, 95%CI = 2.25–99.64) and willingness to breastfeed exclusively (OR = 3.41, 95%CI = 1.35–8.63). The study concludes that breastfeeding promotion programs in Jordan should target low-income mothers.
