Breastfeeding rates in Pakistan are the lowest in South
Asia. Multiparous working women in Rawalpindi-
Islamabad often think if cessation of breastfeeding will
affect their and their baby's health. A descriptive cross
sectional survey was conducted on 200 multiparous
working women to evaluate the association between
cessation of breastfeeding and health-related quality of
life in multiparous working women and to determine the
common reasons of breastfeeding cessation. A modified
SF-36 QOL questionnaire was used. The mothers who
breastfed their babies for less than or up to six months
reported their general health worse at the time of study
than one year ago, which accounts for 34(68%) of the
entire data, 42(21%) women ceased to breastfeed their
babies due to less milk production and 31 (15.5%) women
due to the nature of their job. Chi-Square test showed
that there is a significant association (i.e. p-value < 0.001)
between health-related quality of life and early
breastfeeding cessation.
Keywords: Breast feeding cessation, Health-related
quality of life, Working multiparous women.
