Un estudio de correlación prospectiva se hizo para examinar la influencia de las actitudes y confianza de las madres adolescentes en la iniciación y duración de la lactancia materna. Se tomó una muestra de conveniencia de 100 adolescentes embarazadas que completaron la forma corta del cuestionario de escala de auto-eficiencia de la lactancia materna (BSS-SF) y el Cuestionario de Actitudes de Lactancia (BAQ). El BSS-SF se re-administró durante la primera semana postparto a aquellas adolescentes que iniciaron la lactancia materna (n = 84). Las adolescentes que practicaron la lactancia en el contacto inicial se les hizo seguimiento y se contactaron a las 4 semanas postparto. Se hicieron comparaciones entre aquellas madres adolescentes que iniciaron la lactancia materna (n = 84) y aquellas que no lo hicieron (n = 16). Significativamente más madres con puntajes altos en actitudes durante el prenatal iniciaron la lactancia materna. Las madres con puntajes más altos en actitudes sobre lactancia durante el prenatal y puntajes más altos de confianza en el prenatal y postnatal continuaron la lactancia materna con mayor probabilidad a las 4 semanas postparto. Los profesionales de la salud deben desarrollar estrategias para estimular las actitudes sobre lactancia materna y la confianza a las madres adolescentes.
