Abstract Background:Considering the potential inappropriateness of the 2009 Institute-of-Medicine criteria to Chinese women, we investigated the associations between pre-pregnancy body-mass-index (BMI), gestational-weight-gain (GWG) and breastfeeding-duration among Chinese women.Methods:This birth-cohort study included 225 mother-child pairs in Shanghai from 2010 to 2012. Mothers were interviewed during mid-to-late pregnancy and at 24-36 months postpartum. Information on pre-pregnancy BMI/GWG and breastfeeding-duration was collected during pregnancy and at 24-36 months postpartum, respectively. Using a data-driven approach based on spline-smoothing-fitting of the data, two-piecewise linear regression models were used to assess the relations between pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG and breastfeeding-duration. Results:Mothers being younger, longer daily working hours, and less time living with children per week were associated with shorter duration (P<0.05). The "inverted-U"-shaped and "flat-then-declining"-shaped associations between pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG and breastfeeding-duration were observed, respectively. Adjusting for related confounders, the increases in pre-pregnancy BMI below and above 22.5 kg/m2 were associated with an increase (P=0.044) and a marginal decrease (P=0.077) in breastfeeding-duration, respectively. One-kilogram increase in GWG was associated with 0.4-month decrease (95% CI: -0.7, -0.1) in breastfeeding-duration when GWG ≥ 17.5 kilograms, however, with nonsignificant changes when GWG <17.5 kilograms. Conclusion:Appropriate pre-pregnancy BMI (around 22.5 kg/m2) and GWG (< 17.5 kilograms) were favorable to sustained breastfeeding.

ABSTRACT Background: Reproduction has been related to long-term maternal weight gain, and changes in fat mass, with gestational weight gain, have been identified as an important contributor. However, the influence of weight changes during the whole reproductive cycle and the modifying effect of breastfeeding are unknown. Objective: The objective was to examine how prepregnancy weight, gestational weight gain, postpartum weight changes, and breastfeeding influence maternal weight and body mass index–adjusted waist circumference (WCBMI) 7 y after delivery. Design: This was a prospective cohort study of 23,701 women participating in the Danish National Birth Cohort with singleton births and no births during follow-up. Path analysis was used to assess the total, direct, and indirect effects; the latter was mediated through weight changes on the pathways. Results: Postpartum weight retention at 6 mo and weight gain from 6 to 18 mo postpartum were highly positively associated with both outcomes. A 1-kg increase in weight retention at 6 mo postpartum corresponded to an average increase of 0.5 kg at 7 y. Gestational weight gain was not associated with WCBMI but was positively associated with weight at 7 y; 87% of this effect was mediated through later weight changes. For both outcomes, a small inverse association was observed for breastfeeding duration. This was strongest for WCBMI, for which 97% of the effect was direct, ie, not mediated through postpartum weight. Conclusions: These findings show that postpartum weight retention at 6 mo and weight gain from 6 to 18 mo postpartum contribute equally to adverse maternal anthropometric measures 7 y after delivery. Breastfeeding duration may have a beneficial effect.
