The World Health Organization (2001, 2017) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months and breastfeeding for up to 2 years with complementary food. Efforts are underway in Hong Kong to increase exclusive breastfeeding rates and sustain breastfeeding practices among mothers, but when mothers return to work after maternity leave, many discontinue the practice. Research has shown work-family role conflict to be one reason why breastfeeding working mothers have difficulty sustaining breastfeeding and that workplace support is a possible way to ease these conflicts. Work-family role conflict, workplace support, and the duration of breastfeeding for Hong Kong working mothers in a breastfeeding community were examined in the present study. A total of 95 breastfeeding working mothers completed the Work-Family Role Conflict Scale (adapted to Breastfeeding Mother Role; WFRC-BMR), Employee Perceptions of Breastfeeding Questionnaire (EPBS-Q), and gave demographic information, including work background and personal breastfeeding experience. Pearson's correlation analyses showed marginal but nonsignificant negative correlations between the duration of breastfeeding and overall work-family role conflict and between the duration of breastfeeding and time-based conflict. There were no statistically significant relationships between workplace support and the duration of breastfeeding. A hierarchical multiple regression was also employed. Results showed that after controlling for the effects of background and demographic variables, including education, child's check-up location, mother's health issues, obtaining breastfeeding information at child's check-up location, and time-based conflict, the WFRC-BMR itself did not predict the duration of breastfeeding and also did not predict the duration of breastfeeding over and above the effects of other background and demographic variables. These findings may be due to the small sample size, and as well as the characteristics of the current sample. Many of the participants were recruited through a nonprofit organization, the Hong Kong Breastfeeding Mothers' Association, which advocates for breastfeeding practices in Hong Kong. It is possible that these participants might have been so keen on breastfeeding due to the support and advocacy of this organization that they continued to breastfeed despite facing obstacles and conflicts in doing so. As such, these findings depict a unique group of women whose breastfeeding practices meet international professional recommendations for healthy breastfeeding, and surpass local practices, which tends towards low rates of breastfeeding. Further studies on workplace support, work-family role conflict, and duration of breastfeeding with a larger, more representative sample are recommended.
