BACKGROUND: Men's support improve breastfeeding practices. However, male involvement in breastfeeding practices is low, particularly in middle-and-low-income countries.
OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the perception of spousal involvement in breastfeeding among women attending infant welfare clinic in a private tertiary hospital in Ogun State, Nigeria.
METHODS: This descriptive cross-sectional research was conducted among 330 mothers. Data were collected using structured interviewer-administered questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS Version 22. Spousal involvement was assessed through the report of engagements of their husbands in 9 different activities. Those who participated in at least 5 and fewer than 5 activities were regarded as good and poor involvements respectively. Data were summarized using mean and standard deviation. Logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with perceived male involvement. P < 0.05 was statistically significant.
RESULTS: Mean age of participants was 32.3±6.5 years. Most (88.2%) of them reported that their husbands were involved in decision-making concerning breastfeeding. Women with monogamous relationships, who had tertiary education, and who were Christians were more likely to report good spousal involvement in breastfeeding.
CONCLUSION: Educated women in monogamous relationships were better supported by their spouses. There is need for women's education and general empowerment to ensure better breastfeeding practices.
