Among patients with PPROM, tobacco use may be associated with non-initiation of BF prior to discharge, while age <20 years and multiparity were associated with cessation by 6 weeks postpartum. Longer pregnancy latency >14 days was associated with BF initiation prior to discharge. Private insurance was associated with increased rates of BF initiation and continuation postpartum. BF education and support should be offered to all patients admitted for PPROM.
