Predictors of breastfeeding duration among women in Kuwait: results of a prospective cohort study

The purposes of this paper are to report the prevalence of breastfeeding to six months among women in Kuwait and to determine the factors that are associated with the duration of breastfeeding. A cohort of 373 women recruited from maternity wards in four hospitals in Kuwait city were followed from birth to 26 weeks postpartum. The association of any and full breastfeeding duration and predictor variables were explored using multivariate Cox’s proportional hazards models. At six months, 39% of all infants were receiving some breast milk and only 2% of infants had been fully breastfed to 26 weeks. Women born in other Arab countries were less likely to discontinue breastfeeding than women born in Kuwait. Other factors positively associated with breastfeeding duration were level of maternal education, higher parity, infant being demand fed in hospital and a preference for breastfeeding on the part of the infant’s father and maternal grandmother. The introduction of a pacifier before four weeks of age and the mother intending to return to work by six months were negatively associated with duration. These findings present a number of opportunities for prolonging breastfeeding duration in Kuwait

Social Justice as a Criterion for the Democracy of the Jordanian Constitution

In this study we discuss the issue of social justice as a basic human requirement in the rule of law and sovereignty. Despite its practical importance as a political principle in the various schools of thought, it remained merely a guiding idea for the legislator, It seeks to follow its guidance in drawing up the general policies of the state, without the state being obligated to intervene positively to enforce them; It was not a matter of constitutional priority and interest in the old constitutions, considering it a political par excellence whose purpose was to restrict and regulate absolute power and to determine and guarantee the missing freedom. Proceeding from the constitutional transformations that the Arab world is witnessing, especially the Kingdom of Jordan, following the revolutions of the Arab Spring, the general nature that these constitutions must establish is the goal of achieving social justice, which presupposes the recognition of people with a range of rights that preserve their human dignity as a matter of immediate implementation of these rights. However, addressing the idea of compulsion and normative democracy in Jordan’s constitution for social justice rights from this perspective appears to be a thorny idea due to the difficulty of setting limits, foundations, or standards for them, because these rights presuppose a positive intervention from the state, and it is an issue related to the financial and economic status of the state, unlike other rights that are generally assumed In general, a negative commitment from the state without incurring financial burdens. So, achieving social justice depends primarily on its material capabilities
