Breast milk has many benefits for infants, but initiating breastfeeding/pumping can be difficult for mothers of preterm infants, especially those who smoke (or live with individuals who smoke). The primary aim of this study was to identify risks for breastfeeding/pumping cessation with neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) infants' mothers who smoke or live with individuals who smoke, using a novel survival-analytic approach.
