Exclusive breastfeeding is very important for babies to maintain their immune system, brain intelligence, emotion stability and to protect babies from various diseases that are causes of death. Breastfeeding will also benefit the mother, which will reduce blood loss during menstruation, restore maternal weight as before pregnancy, reduce the risk of breast cancer, and uterine cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the influences of antenatal care, postnatal care and early initiation of breastfeeding on an exclusive breastfeeding pattern. The samples used in this study were mothers who had babies aged 7-12 months in June to August 2018 as many as 48 respondents in the working area of Manukan Kulon Health Center in Surabaya. This study used the descriptive and bivariate analyses. The obtained results were antenatal care (p = 0.001), postnatal care (p = 0.002) and early initiation of breastfeeding (p = 0,000). During pregnancy the majority of mothers make complete antenatal care visits with a frequency of 10 times, antenatal care is very important for mothers, especially the pattern of breastfeeding. In addition to the importance of antenatal care visits, mothers who have given birth and are entering the postnatal care phase are required to make postnatal care visits. Socialization from health workers and the support of closest people are required in order to achieve the exclusive breastfeeding.

Background. The survival of children to grow and develop and get good care is needed to achieve a healthy generation. The success of exclusive breastfeeding in infants 0-6 months in Indonesia still does not meet expectations due to a poor knowledge of the importance Exclusive Breastfeeding and their perception of infant formula is better than breast milk. The low achievement of breastfeeding (ASI) exclusively due to several factors, namely low knowledge of the mother of the importance of breastfeeding, the sex of the baby, birth weight or premature birth, culture that does not support, families that do not support, and social change that happening in the community.Objective. This study aimed to examine predictive factors toward the success of exclusive breastfeeding among breastfeeding mothers in Child’s Poly DKT Gubeng Pojok Hospital, Surabaya.Methods.

Background. Exclusive breastfeeding tops the table of life-saving interventions for newborns. A child who is exclusively breastfed is 14 times less likely to die in the first six months compared to its counterpart. Approximately 18,000 children globally still die every day and if current trend continues, some 60 million children under age 5 will die between 2017 and 2030, and half of them will be newborns. Five countries, including Ethiopia, accounted for half of all newborn deaths in the world. Objective. To assess the prevalence and associated factors of exclusive breastfeeding practice among mothers who have infants 6-12 months of age in Boditi Town, Wolaita Zone, Southern Ethiopia, 2018. Methods. Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 412 randomly selected mothers having 6 to 12 month infants from April 1 to 14, 2018. A pretested interviewer administered questionnaire was used for data collection. The data were entered using Epi Data version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive statistics was made. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was also carried out to see the effect of each independent variable on the dependent variable. Results. Of 412 mother-infant pairs sampled, 403 were participated, which made a response rate of 97.8%. Prevalence of EBF computed using since birth dietary recall method was 64.8% (95% C.I= 60.0, 69.0). From multivariable analysis, child birth attended by health care provider (AOR = 5.303, 95% C.I = 1.613, 17.436), postnatal care utilization (AOR = 1.91, C.I = 1.083, 3.370), and mothers who did not report any breast related problem for the first six months after child birth (AOR = 1.864, C.I = 1.090, 3.189) were factors positively associated with exclusive breastfeeding practice. Conclusion. Although the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding practice in this study was relatively high, more effort to meet World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations is still necessary to benefit from its intervention. There is a need to promote child births to be attended by health care providers and postnatal care utilization. Further, women should be educated on what to do and where to seek care if breast problem occurs after child birth.

Introduction: Breastfeeding is the unique source of nutrition which plays a significant role in the growth, development and survival of infants. Breastfeeding is promoted internationally as the preferred method to feed infants up to 6 months and has continued up to 2 years with the addition of home-cooked foods. Objectives: To assess the Knowledge, Attitude and Practices of lactating mothers regarding breast feeding. To correlate the exclusive feeding practices with maternal employment and gender of the child. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the urban field practice area of UHTC, Dholabhata, Ajmer. Out of 8 Anganwadi centers 4 were randomly selected. 219 lactating mothers have been recorded at some Anganwadi sites. Subsequent to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 200 samples were collected for the study. A semistructured questionnaire was used for this study. Important findings: Out of 200 lactating mothers, 74.6% had a knowledge of the benefits of breastfeeding that the child remains healthy. 71.5% agreed that it fosters a close bond between the mother and child. 56.7% of mothers breastfed to six months. Conclusion: Both governmental and non-governmental organizations are already involved in promoting breastfeeding. But more promotional activities should be done just not for health workers in the antenatal and post-natal/child unit but also other staff should be encouraged to participate in such programs.

Papua Province data for 2014-2015 shows that the success of exclusive breastfeeding for babies aged 2 months is only 64%. This percentage decreases markedly in infants aged 2 to 3 months to 45% and in infants aged 4 to 5 months only reaches 14%. The success of exclusive breastfeeding of 15,983 babies aged 6 months, only 3,302 of them were breastfed, about 20.6% of them were exclusively breastfed. Objective: To analyze the factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding for infants in the working area of the Hamadi Public Health Center, Jayapura City. Methods: This type of research is quantitative analytic with a cross-sectional approach. This research was conducted in September 2020-January 2021. The total population was 412 people and a sample of 100 people using simple random sampling technique. The data was obtained using a questionnaire, and analyzed using chi square and binary logistic regression with a significant level of 5%. Results: Factors related to the exclusive breastfeeding are attitude (p-value = 0.009, RP = 3.563, 95% CI = 1.336-9.502) , family support (p-value = 0.005, RP = 3.467, 95% CI = 1.429-8.408) and health personnel support (p-value = 0.001, RP = 4.206, 95% CI = 1.764-10.025), while the factors that are not associated with exclusive breastfeeding, namely knowledge (p-value = 0.050, RP = 2.563, 95% CI = 0.986-6.662), age (p-value = 0.157), education (p-value = 0.186), and occupation (p-value = 0.571).

Background: Breast feeding is the best documented feed for the infant during the initial six months of life. It is essential for child's optimal growth and development and also reduces the incidence of diarrhoea and pneumonia among infants. All around the world, breast feeding is associated with myths, superstitions and various cultural, religious and traditional practices, especially in poor developing countries. Poor feeding during early life increases risk of morbidity and mortality in later years and affects cognitive functioning as well. Methodology: A community based cross sectional study was conducted from June 2016 to December 2016 in which a total of 200 mothers who had given birth within last one year were selected by systematic sampling method. The mothers were interviewed regarding breast feeding practices of their infants using structured pre tested questionnaire. Data regarding socio-demographic profile, birth history of the child and breast feeding practices was also collected. Results: In the study, mean age of the participants was 28.66 years, 75% were illiterate, 73% belonged to joint families and 29% of the infants belonged to the age group of 3-6 months. The prevalence of exclusively breast fed infants was 38.5% and the most common reason for such a low percentage of exclusively breastfed infants was usage of pre-lacteal feed (94.3%). Conclusion: The prevalence of exclusively breast fed infants was low in the study area which could be attributed to the use of prelacteal feed soon after the birth of the child. The reason for the use of prelacteal feed at the time of the birth of the child is because of the prevalent socio religious factors in the area.

Background Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) is one of the most important predictors for the survival of a child, spacing between two children, and prevention from childhood infections. Breastfeeding plays an important role in reducing child mortality and morbidity but the practice of EIBF globally is way behind the required time for initiation of breastfeeding after delivery. So, we planned to evaluate the early time of initiation of breastfeeding among the postnatal mothers and to determine the predictors of early initiation of breastfeeding in a tertiary hospital setting. Methodology A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the postnatal ward of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi, Jharkhand for a period of three months (March-May 2017). Our study included 200 postnatal mothers who delivered normal and healthy babies. Mother-infant dyads enrolled in our study were interviewed personally during six hours of the postpartum period. Irrespective of the mode of delivery, all babies born during the study period whose mothers consented to be a part of the study were included. Data collected were entered in MS Excel and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 20.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. Results A total of 200 postnatal mothers fulfilling the study criteria were enrolled during the study. Of them, the majority 98 (49%) belonged to the age group 18-25 years. A hundred and twenty-six (63%) of them resided in rural areas, 182 (91%) were housewives, and only 86 (43%) of them had completed secondary education & above. Early initiation of breastfeeding was found to be only 43 (21.5%) among postnatal mothers. Predictors found to be statistically significant with EIBF were mother's residential status [odds ratio (OR): 2.98; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.25-7.13], educational status of mother (OR: 3.18; 95% CI: 1.12-9.01) mode of delivery of the baby (OR: 8.93; 95% CI: 2.66-30.06) and antenatal care (ANC) visits (OR: 0.441; 95% CI: 0.311-0.651). Women's age, religion, ethnicity, occupation, type of family, and socioeconomic status displayed no statistically significant relationship with EIBF. Conclusions It is concluded that nearly one-fifth of mothers in the study initiated breastfeeding within one hour of postdelivery. Maternal education, frequent ANC visits, place of residence, and mode of delivery were also associated with EIBF in India. Nursing staff, as well as clinicians, should reinforce the importance of early initiation of breastfeeding by providing proper health education to post-natal beneficiaries.
