How Does Socioeconomic Status Affect Breastfeeding Practices?
Socioeconomic status (SES) plays a crucial role in breastfeeding practices. Higher SES is generally associated with higher rates of breastfeeding initiation and longer duration. Factors such as maternal education, income level, and access to healthcare services can influence a mother's ability to initiate and sustain breastfeeding. Addressing these disparities through public health interventions is essential for promoting equitable breastfeeding practices.
