Comparison of confidence between mothers who breastfed and formula fed their preterm infants
Article Abstract:
Choice of feeding method does not seem to affect confidence in parenting skills among mothers of pre-term infants. One hundred seventy-three mothers of pre-term infants who either formula-fed or breastfed their infants completed questionnaires regarding parenting confidence and skills. Questionnaires were completed at delivery, after six hours of accumulated feeding time, and one week after discharge. Confidence levels were initially similar and progressed similarly over time.
