Social climate (Rxy = +0,5, p = 0,01)
Family members      (Rxy = +0,5, p = 0,01)
Children from poor families (Rxy = +0,2, p = 0,01):
Breast-feeding duration strong, direct correlation (Rxy = +0,75, p = 0,01):
Delivery sequence number of medium intensity, is directly proportional (Rxy = +0,6, p = 0,01):

15. “ Ability to stay alone parameter affected by the following factors
Body weight (Rxy = 0,3, p = 0,05),
