During intake history a rural sample of 1312 women admitted for singleton birth were asked “How do you deal with stress?” Stress coping answers were categorized into 18 stress coping strategies, which were explored as predictors of infant feeding method choice, dichotomized into any breastfeeding or exclusive bottle feeding. Coping with stress through Prayer/Religion (p = .002), taking a Bath/Shower (p = .001), Exercise (p = .001), and Reading/Writing (p = .001) predicted breastfeeding. Smoking (p = .003), Resting (p = .03), and “Not Well” (p = .035) predicted that women would not breastfeed
