Breasifeeding and the Sexual Abuse Survivor

Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, PhD

Family Research Laboratory, University of New Hampshire; 34 Western Ave., Henniker, NH 03242 USA.

In this paper, the possible effects of child sexual abuse on a mother's breastfeeding experience are described. The long-term effects of sexual abuse are divided into seven domains that may impact breastfeeding behavior: posttraumatic stress disorder, cognitive distortions, emotional distress, impaired sense of self, avoidance, interpersonal difficulties, and health problems. In each section, the potential impact of past sexual abuse on current breastfeeding behavior and the mother-infant relationship is described. Finally, specific suggestions and strategies for lactation consultants are offered.

Key Words: child sexual abuse • breastfeeding
