Core Tip	This was a prospective study investigating the factors which are associated with breastfeeding duration (BD) in a sample of mothers living in Greece. Maternal smoking during lactation, the respective psychological status, and the introduction of a pacifier, were inversely associated, while higher maternal education and maternal immigrant status positively associated with BD. Public health interventions should focus on campaigns against smoking during lactation, target women of lower educational status, and endorse the delayed introduction of pacifiers.
