Perceived inadequate milk supply (PIMS) is a factor that hinders successful breastfeeding. The aim of our study was to determine the predictors of PIMS and to evaluate the effect of PIMS on the duration of lactation. More than 5000 mothers with children who had been breastfeeding for some time participated in our study. Analysis was performed using multivariate regression logistic and ROC statistical analyses. Eight predictors increasing the risk of PIMS were identified.
