Serbia is a country with one of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world: 51% of women initiate breastfeeding and only 13% exclusively breastfeed for 6 months. Since Serbian social and health policies are rather favourable, the focus should be placed on psychosocial and cultural factors and attitudes as factors in breastfeeding decisions. Public breastfeeding is one of the most controversial issues. Lack of support for public breastfeeding could, by discouraging women from breastfeeding more openly, significantly contribute to low rates of breastfeeding and its short duration. The aim of this study was to determine to what extent mothers, fathers, and non-parents were supportive of public breastfeeding, independently and compared to their other attitudes about breastfeeding. A survey of 1884 Serbian adults – mostly highly engaged mothers – was conducted online. The average support for uncovered breastfeeding in public was 6.3 on a 10-point scale. There was a statistically significant variation in support for public breastfeeding by breastfeeding intensity (among mothers), parenting status and gender. There were no significant differences in support by age and education. Support for public breastfeeding was lower than support for breastfeeding in general. Even highly engaged and informed mothers, who are very supportive of breastfeeding in general, are not very supportive of public breastfeeding. The same tendency was found in the general public represented by non-parents in our sample. A widespread disapproval of public breastfeeding could present practical obstacles to breastfeeding. These findings indicate that attitudes toward breastfeeding should be taken into account in future policies aimed at supporting breastfeeding.

This is a report about Breastfeeding, specifically the Federal Legislation about it.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations International Children'sEmergency Fund (UNICEF) have recommended exclusive breastfeeding, but there arestill mothers who do not provide exclusive breastfeeding. In 2018, its number was only37.3%, while the government's target of exclusive breastfeeding coverage of 80%. Oneeffort to support exclusive breastfeeding mothers is giving certificates. This study aimsto determine the correlation between granting exclusive breastfeeding certificates andmaternal motivation for exclusive breastfeeding. It was a correlational study with across-sectional design. The independent variable was granting exclusive breastfeedingcertificates, while the dependent variable was maternal motivation for exclusivebreastfeeding. The population was breastfeeding mothers for more than six months inBedingin Village, Sugio District, Lamongan Regency. The samples were 40 respondentswith simple random sampling. We interviewed respondents with a questionnaire as aresearch instrument. Then, data analysis used the Chi-Square test with α = 0.05. 87.9%of mothers who received exclusive breastfeeding certificates had good motivation forexclusive breastfeeding. In addition, the Chi-Square test obtained p=0.000 (α˂0.05).Thus, there was a significant correlation between granting exclusive breastfeedingcertificates and maternal motivation for exclusive breastfeeding. In conclusion,awarding exclusive breastfeeding certificates increase maternal motivation for exclusivebreastfeeding. Further, it could improve coverage of exclusive breastfeeding inIndonesia. The local government should make policies in issuing exclusivebreastfeeding certificates.

Objective: Breastfeeding laws are expected to positively effect social and physical environments by creating opportunities and supportive environments for mothers to breastfeed, increasing access to available lactation resources, and expanding breastfeeding rights, to name but a few pathways. Positive effects of breastfeeding laws can improve breastfeeding outcomes, including those of neonates. This study examined whether state breastfeeding policies influenced breastfeeding initiation and duration among U.S. women with a live birth from 2004 to 2016. Methodology: The quasi-experimental study was based on data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System and the National Conference of State Legislatures. The difference-in-differences model was used to estimate effects of breastfeeding laws comparing differences in breastfeeding prevalence before and after laws went into effect in states compared to those without relevant legislative changes during the study period. The overall adjusted effects of each type of law on breastfeeding outcomes and potential interaction effects of each type of law with maternal race and ethnicity, age, education, marital status, and WIC participation were examined using logistic regression analyses with post-estimated predicted probabilities and marginal effects. Findings: Between 2004 and 2016, 85% of women initiated breastfeeding, and less than 60% continued breastfeeding for at least 8 weeks. There was no overall statistically significant difference in prevalence of breastfeeding initiation and continuation between states with and without workplace laws, supplementary workplace laws, or childcare laws in the unadjusted and adjusted analyses. However, several interaction effects were observed, particularly among mothers who typically have the lowest breastfeeding prevalence. Mothers with only 12 years of education residing in states with supplementary workplace laws had higher adjusted odds of breastfeeding initiation than those with fewer years of education. Hispanic and non-Hispanic black women residing in states with breastfeeding childcare laws had higher adjusted odds of breastfeeding initiation than their non-Hispanic white counterparts. Conclusions: State breastfeeding laws tend to have differential effects by subpopulation groups. The implementation of comprehensive workplace and public breastfeeding policies has the potential to improve breastfeeding prevalence by reducing the gap in breastfeeding disparity.

Theory means a system of ideas intended to explain something. Explaining the facts which are absolutely right. This theory intends to explain regarding different concepts lies behind successful breastfeeding. If one wants to make the breastfeeding successful activity then she/he must focus on the concepts which are hidden but important to make success. Conceptualization is related to the process of getting an idea, or plans to perform certain activity or action. In this theory conceptualization implies the intended actions taken by the mother or the actions needs to be adopted by the mother in order to achieve successful breastfeeding.Theory means a system of ideas intended to explain something.

The achievement of exclusive breastfeeding is still below the national target; this is a sign that the awareness of mothers in breastfeeding still needs to be improved. Based on the data of the Riskesdas year of 2018, the proportion of breastfeeding in infant ages 0-6 months in Indonesia are 37,3% and exclusive breastfeeding 9,3%. The government is targeting exclusive breastfeeding coverage of 80%. The coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Jambi City is still below the government's target. Exclusive breastfeeding has a significant contribution to the development of optimally and endurance of children. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the practice of exclusive breastfeeding in Desa Suka Maju, Mestong District, Muaro Jambi Regency. This research is a quantitative analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study was all mothers who had babies totalling 112 mothers. Those who met the inclusion criteria were a purposive sampling technique. The data obtained were processed statistically using the chi-square test. The results showed that 30 people (26.8%) mothers gave exclusive breastfeeding, 15 people (18.81%) out of 80 mothers with low education provided exclusive breastfeeding and 15 out of 32 mothers with higher education provided exclusive breastfeeding. 11 people (15.5%) mothers with insufficient knowledge gave exclusive breastfeeding, and 19 people (46.7%) gave exclusive breastfeeding, but there were still 22 people (53,%) mothers with high knowledge who did not provide exclusive breastfeeding. And based on parity 22 people (32.4%) mothers with low risk gave exclusive breastfeeding, eight people (18.2%) mothers with high risk gave exclusive breastfeeding, and based on the results of statistical tests, education and knowledge had an effect on exclusive breastfeeding with a value P value 0.05. Education and knowledge affect exclusive breastfeeding, while parity does not guarantee that a mother is better at giving lactation. Researchers recommend that further research should use other variables such as knowledge and support from family members who are most influential in decision making and forms of husband support in the practice of exclusive breastfeeding.
