Breast milk is the perfect food for newborns and infants as it adapts completely to the requirements of the baby. Breastfeeding is extremely important not only for the development and health of the child, but also for the mother’s health, too. The aim of this paper is to examine whether there is a difference in the conduction and the frequency of breastfeeding in the maternity ward and after the arrival home. Additional aims were to examine: the reasons for stopping successful breastfeeding; the impact of age, marital and socioeconomic status; the lack of family support; breastfeeding overload at the request of the baby; and finally, the impact of knowledge on the benefits of breast milk on the decision about breastfeeding. The study included 354 respondents with the experiences of breastfeeding 658 children. All of them gave birth and breastfed their children in maternity wards in the Republic of Croatia. The research was conducted online via Facebook platform. The results suggest that the frequency of breastfeeding is higher after the arrival home from the maternity ward. When it comes to reasons for discontinuation of breastfeeding, the largest number of respondents did not state a specific reason, and some other reasons include poor weight gain and breast rejection. The age of the mothers, marital or socioeconomic status do not affect the decision about the termination of breastfeeding. The respondents stopped breastfeeding their first child much earlier compared to the second and all the subsequent children. The knowledge about the benefits of breast milk influences positively on the decision to breastfeed.
