ABSTRACT

This study is a cross-sectional study that analyzed the factors that affect Korean woman’s breastfeeding experience in Korea. The study used the results of the first and second years of the sixth and seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey including 1,258 toddlers aged between 12 months and 48 months (2013-2018). The data was analyzed using R version 3.6.1 program. Results show that baby’s birthweight (OR=5.843, 95% CI=2.385-14.318), level of education of the parents (OR=5.751, 95% CI=1.430-23.136), and the structures of the two generations in the family (OR=2.770, 95% CI=1.084-7.079), were factors that significantly affected the women’s breast-feeding experience. In conclusion, these results provide basic data for improving Korean women breastfeeding experience and how to promote breastfeeding practices in Korea in the future.
