Objective: To explore whether there is an association between socioeconomic status and
maternal body mass index, and duration of partial breastfeeding/exclusive breastfeeding of
Norwegian infants in 2016.
Design: Cross-sectional design. Baseline data from a randomized controlled trial, collected by
a Food Frequency Questionnaire.
Setting: Recruitment was done through Facebook and child health care centres in 2016. In
total 1048 infants/parents were interested in participating in the study Early Food for Future
Health.
Subjects: A total of 715 infant/mother- dyads completed the questionnaire when the child
was between 5 and 6 months old.
Results: At 5 months of age 16.4 % of the infants were exclusively breastfed. Infants of
mothers with overweight/obesity had reduced odds of being exclusive breastfed the first 4
months of age and lower odds of being partially breastfed at 3 and 4 months, compared to
infants of mothers with normal body mass index. Infants of highly educated mothers had
higher odds of being partially breastfed at 1, 2 and 5 months, compared to infants of mothers
with less education. Infants of multiparous mothers had higher odds of being exclusively
breastfed the first 5 months of age, compared to infants of mothers with one child.
Conclusions: Our results show that duration of breastfeeding varies with socioeconomic
status and maternal body mass index in Norway. Targeting groups with low socioeconomic
status, and mothers with overweight/obesity is important as they are less likely to breastfeed
within the recommendations.
