Objective To explore the level of breastfeeding and identify the associated factors in China. Methods We used a random sampling method to choose fields since from five cities which stand for five regions in China, collected from urban, towns and rural in the cities. 17094 infants who were born from Jan 1, 2006 to Dec 31, 2008 and their parents were enrolled in our survey. We Surveyed face to face by designed questionnaires. The contents of investigation are including; general condition of infants and their parents, health condition in pregnancy in mother, abortion and artificial labor in mother. Associations between the factors studied and exclusive breastfeeding were analyzed with Logistic regression. Results The rate of fetal exclusive breastfeeding was 62. 56%. Multivariate Logistic regression showed that the associated factors of exclusive breastfeeding included; ethnic Han ( OR = 1.388,P<0. 01), urban infants (OR = 1.748,P <0. 01) , premature infants(OR = 1. 693 ,P <0. 01) , low birth weight ( OR = 1. 439, P < 0. 01 ) , pregnancy disease ( OR = 1. 340, P < 0. 01 ) , mother childbearing age ≥30( OR = 1. 155 , P. < 0. 01) , history of abortion( OR = 1. 409,P < 0. 01) , induced labor history ( OR = 1. 872, P< 0.01) , mum' s higher education level (OR = 1. 590 - 2.148, P <0. 01), which may decreased the probability of breastfeeding and increased the probability of exclusive breastfeeding. Baby girl ( OR = 0. 928 , P < 0. 05 ) , parity 2 or more ( OR = 0. 882, P < 0. 05 ) may increase the probability of breastfeeding. Conclusion The rate of exclusive breastfeeding was 62.56% , ethnic Han, urban infants, premature infants, low birth weight, pregnancy disease, mother childbearing age≥30, History of abortion, induced labor history, mum' s higher education level may decrease the probability of breastfeeding.
