A new study published in Maternal & Child Nutrition aimed to determine whether breastfeeding rates differ between immigrant and non-immigrant women. This was a systematic review and meta-analysis that searched Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Google Scholar databases from 1950 through 2016. Peer-reviewed, cross-sectional, and cohort studies of women aged ≥ 16 years that assessed and compared breastfeeding rates in immigrant and non-immigrant women were selected. Overall, 29 studies representing 1,539,659 women from 14 countries were included in the analysis. The findings suggested that immigrant women were more likely than non-immigrants to initiate any (exclusive or partial) breastfeeding; exclusive breastfeeding initiation was higher, but borderline significant. Immigrant women were more likely than non-immigrants to continue any breastfeeding between 12 and 24 weeks postpartum and > 24 weeks, but not exclusive breastfeeding. Hence, it was concluded that immigrant women were more likely than non-immigrants to initiate and maintain any breastfeeding; however, exclusive breastfeeding remains a challenge for both immigrants and non-immigrants. It was stated that social and cultural factors need to be considered to understand the extent to which immigrant status is an independent predictor of positive breastfeeding practices.
