The Beliefs About Breastfeeding Questionnaire (BAB-Q): A psychometric validation study.

The eight-item questionnaire showed good model fit with acceptable loadings, and good reliability for all subscales. The utility of the BAB-Q at predicting breastfeeding behaviour remains unclear and unsupported by empirical evidence. Further assessments of the predictive validity of the questionnaire in longitudinal studies with diverse beliefs and infant feeding practices are required.
