Abstract:
Background: Breastfeeding is one of the most important determinants of child survival, birth spacing, and prevention of childhood infections. The beneficial effects of breastfeeding depend on breastfeeding initiation, its duration, and the age at which the breast-fed child is weaned. Data from NFHS-4 suggest that in India, in Gujarat where only 56% of infants are exclusively breastfed and 50% of infants are initiated with breastfeeding within one hour of birth. This study was planned to identify the gaps in breastfeeding practices so that necessary interventions can be designed and thereby implemented. The objective is to study the breastfeeding practices of mothers having children below 2 years of age in the field practice areas of the medical college and to associate the findings of these practices with the socio-demographic characteristics of the population.Methods: The study conducted was a community based cross-sectional one in the six villages of RHTC of PIMSR. The study was conducted by surveying a total of 204 mothers to study their breastfeeding practices which were categorized into ‘good’ and “not so good’ practices. From this the total score was calculated and associated with socio-demographic variables.Results: Majority of the mothers were in the age group 18-22 and educated up to ‘primary’ and most of them were from social class IV and V. Only 23% of the mothers had adequate knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding. About 70% practiced both early initiation of breastfeeding and feeding colostrum whereas nearly 80% practiced exclusive breastfeeding.Conclusions: It is concluded from the study that even though the practice of breastfeeding was found quite good, the gaps in the knowledge and practice must be addressed through health education and support through peer and health groups. Documenting the success stories will go a long way for community education and behavioral change in communication at the community level for adequate breastfeeding practices.

Abstract:
Background and Objectives: Breastfeeding (BF) is a socially constructed and controlled practice. Although breastfeeding is a common practice in Nepal, proper breastfeeding is on the decline due to several factors. The impact of knowledge and attitude about breastfeeding practice, i.e., duration of breastfeeding, proper techniques, proper time of weaning is poorly understood. So, this study is designed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of mothers in breastfeeding.
 Material and Methods: This is an observational descriptive cross sectional study carried out among 220 mothers of under 2 years old children attending the pediatric out-patient department (OPD) at Janaki Medical College teaching hospital (JMCTH), Janakpur, Nepal. Mothers were interviewed using pre-designed questionnaire constructed after proper literature review.
 Results: All mothers have idea that they have to breast feed their babies, but they did not have adequate knowledge on the appropriate way of breastfeeding. Only, 12.27% knew that they have to initiate breast feeding within 1 hour of birth, 15% had idea on pre-lacteal feed, 5% had idea on importance of colostrum, 10% knew the meaning of exclusive breast feeding, and 0% of the mothers had idea on importance of night feeding. Only 7.27% have knowledge on method on maintaining aseptic precaution during breastfeeding. Only 20.90% were practicing exclusive breast feeding, 70% mothers were practicing night feeds, 15% mothers practiced feeding one side at a time and 15% mothers were practicing appropriate attachment and positioning during BF. None of the mothers got any advice regarding breast feeding during antenatal care (ANC) visits. Only 15% mothers got proper method of breastfeeding advice after birth. 30% practiced burping after breastfeeding. 30% underwent practice of proper food to increase breast milk secretion.
 Conclusion: Undesirable cultural practices such as late initiation of breastfeeding after birth, giving pre-lacteal feeds, delay in introduction of weaning foods, not exercising exclusive breastfeeding practice are still prevalent. The maternal knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) in breastfeeding is still inadequate with a big gap between actual and desired practices and there is urgent need of mother educational program in this society.

Abstract:
The main aim of this study was to compare breastfeeding knowledge, attitude, and practice and infants nutritional status between rural and urban areas. In this cross-sectional study, Desa Jayabakti, Kabupaten Sukabumi represents rural area, while Kelurahan Kedung Jaya, Kota Bogor represents urban area. Samples were 31 mothers-infants in each area who were selected by simple cluster sampling method. The differences between two areas were analyzed with the independent t-test, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. The correlation between variables was analyzed with rank Spearman. The result of this study showed that mother's knowledge and attitude of nutrition, especially about exclusive breastfeeding, was higher in urban than in rural area. There were differences in mothers' knowledge and attitude between rural and urban areas (p<0.05). Exclusive breastfeeding in rural area practiced by 41.9%, which is higher than in urban area (25.8%). Nevertheless, there was no statistical difference in exclusive breastfeeding practice between rural and urban areas (p>0.05). The aspects of breastfeeding practices which statistically difference in rural and urban areas were the introduction of colostrums status and breastfeeding time (p<0.05). Early initiation of breastfeeding was associated with exclusive breastfeeding practice in urban area (p<0.05), but none of the variables were associated with exclusive breastfeeding practice in rural area (p>0.05). Furthermore, exclusive breastfeeding practice was not associated with 4-12 months infants nutritional status (p>0.05). Mothers' family should be targeted as target of audience in breastfeeding promotion. Keywords: breastfeeding practice, exclusive breastfeeding, knowledge, attitude, infant nutritional status, rural and urban areas.

Abstract:
Background: Promotion of breastfeeding has been identified as one of the effective evidence based interventions to improve health of infants and young children. Various factors play an important role in breastfeeding practices which are not sufficiently explored in communities like Chepang in Nepal. The objectives of the study were to identify the knowledge and practices of Chepang mothers on breastfeeding and its associated factors. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out in which 203 Chepang mothers with child under one year of age were randomly selected and interviewed. Quantitative method was applied for data collection. Analysis of association was done using logistic regression. Results: Practice of mothers on breastfeeding was found better than knowledge. About one fourth (23%) of them knew the appropriate time for early initiation of breastfeeding, however, 36% had practiced it. Exclusive breastfeeding practice under 6 months was 88%, although 60% knew about the recommended duration. Literate mothers were more likely to initiate breastfeeding at appropriate time [AOR: 4.24 (95% CI: 2.20-8.19)] than illiterate. Conclusions: Breastfeeding practices like colostrum feeding and exclusive breastfeeding were found better in Chepang communities than national average, however, early initiation of breastfeeding needs to be improved which could be improved through counseling during antenatal and postnatal visits.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Breastfeeding is essential for infant health, yet various factors influence mothers’ decisions to initiate and sustain this practice. Understanding the insights into mothers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards breastfeeding is critical, particularly in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among mothers in the hospital, assessing their knowledge of breastfeeding, attitudes towards breastfeeding practices, and actual breastfeeding behaviors. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, from 334 mothers attending King Abdulaziz University Hospital between December 2022 and December 2023. Participants included mothers who gave birth within the past 1-5 years. Statistical analysis was conducted using JMP software, along with thematic analysis for qualitative data. Result: The study analyzed data from 334 mothers, revealing that 88% initiated breastfeeding, but only 39% practiced exclusive breastfeeding for six months. Working mothers exhibited greater knowledge and earlier initiation compared to non-working mothers. Barriers included lack of private breastfeeding spaces and feelings of inadequate milk supply, highlighting challenges that could affect breastfeeding duration and practice. Conclusion: This research underscored the importance of improving maternal knowledge and addressing common barriers to breastfeeding. By developing targeted strategies and policy recommendations based on the findings, the study aimed to enhance breastfeeding practices among mothers at King Abdulaziz University Hospital. Ultimately, these efforts contributed to promoting breastfeeding as a crucial public health initiative in Saudi Arabia, positively influencing the health and well-being of mothers and infants.

Abstract:
Despite active promotion, Uganda reports that 36% of children under 6 months are not exclusively breastfed, impacting infant health. This study focuses on 428 interviews within the Kampala district's informal sector, aiming to understand exclusive breastfeeding practices among mothers with infants aged 0–5 months. Results indicated a 41.1% prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding. Factors linked to this practice included attending antenatal care at least four times, intending to breastfeed exclusively for six months or more, adopting proper breastfeeding techniques, and the age of the infant. Notably, working in lower positions was associated with a lower likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding. Recommendations emphasize the importance of antenatal care in educating mothers about exclusive breastfeeding's advantages, enabling informed decisions. Additionally, enforcing maternity leave benefits outlined in Uganda's Employment Act within the informal sector can support women in practicing exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract:
Introduction. Globally, over 90% of HIV infections among children are due to mother-to-child transmission and breastfeeding accounts for 5–20% of the burden. Avoidance of inappropriate feeding practices and practicing exclusive breastfeeding is recommended to reduce mother-to-child HIV transmission, but it is hardly practiced. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding practice and associated factors among HIV-positive mothers attending governmental PMTCT clinics in Southern Ethiopia. Methods. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April to May 2019. The participants of the study were 209 HIV-positive mothers at the selected PMTCT sites. The study subjects were drawn from 10 health institutions located at 6 towns in Southern Ethiopia which constituted six hospitals and four health centers. Quantitative data were collected using the pretested structured questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between the predictors and outcome variable. Results. Among the 209 participants, 81.6% (95% CI: 75.8–86.5) practiced exclusive breastfeeding and 18.4% (95% CI: 13.5–23.7) practiced mixed feeding. Mothers who had attended the recommended four antenatal visits [AOR: 3.01, 95% CI (1.1–8.28)], who had disclosed their serostatus [AOR: 3.17, 95% CI (1.12–8.99)], who had sufficient knowledge about infant feeding practice [AOR: 3.32, 95% CI (1.15–9.55)], and favorable attitude towards infant feeding practice [AOR: 5.39, 95% CI (1.65–17.6)] were more likely to practice exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion. Exclusive breastfeeding was predominantly practiced. But mixed feeding was also being practice considerably. Improving maternal knowledge and attitude towards appropriate infant feeding practice through appropriate counseling on ANC visits could significantly improve EBF practice. It was also evident that promoting disclose of serostatus could empower the mothers to make an informed decision on how to appropriately feed their newborn.

Abstract:
Background: Breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to ensure child health and survival. It is an unequalled way of providing ideal food for a healthy growth and development of infants. Objective: To assess the breastfeeding practices of mothers and caregivers in Sokoto, North-western Nigeria. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of consenting mothers/caregivers selected through multistage random sampling. Data was collected by using an interviewer-administered questionnaire containing questions adapted from a WHO document on indicators for assessing infant and young child feeding practices, and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Results: A total of 353 respondents were interviewed. Their ages ranged from 18-50 years, with a mean (±SD) age of 28.8 ±6.1 years. Most 330(93.5%) were married with parity of ?3 (77.9%). More than half (50.7%) of the respondents had no formal education and (80.5%) were petty traders. Majority 180(51.0%) were of low socioeconomic status. All 353(100.0%) respondents practiced breastfeeding at some point in time. Breastfeeding was initiated immediately by 252(71.4%). A majority 287(81.3%) of them did not practice exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). Most 160(47.0%) of the respondents that had stopped breastfeeding did so between 19-24 months of age. Parity ? 3 (p=0.032), and social class (p=0.036) were significantly associated with the practice of EBF. Sociodemographic and obstetric factors were not associated with the timing of initiation of breastfeeding or weaning. Conclusion: Breastfeeding was practiced by all respondents. However, the practice of EBF was low and associated with parity and socio-economic status.

Abstract:
Evidence demonstrates the health benefits of early breastfeeding for mothers as well as infants. The World Health Organization states, "Breast milk should be given within the first hour of life." This purpose of this project was to develop a breastfeeding educational toolkit to promote breastfeeding in the hospital environment. The question that guided this project was, "Will the development of a breastfeeding education toolkit, designed to serve as a learning tool to support the breastfeeding mothers, be found to be useful and valid by professional staff and lay end-users?" The goals of the project were to provide an educational toolkit aimed at supporting new mothers, and to validate the toolkit with stakeholders from the Mother/Baby unit. The benefits of breastfeeding and breastfeeding research were established through an evidence-based search of peer-reviewed journals. The developed toolkit was reviewed by10 stakeholders from the Mother/Baby unit: 1 physician, 3- lactation consultants, 5 nursing professionals, and 1 layperson of childbearing age. To assess the quality of the guidelines, the Logic Model and the 4 domains of the AGREE II Instrument were used. The descriptive data analysis from the AGREE II instrument led to the recommendations for the toolkit. All reviewers acknowledged the need for the toolkit as a support for the mothers and their babies. The stakeholders provided their support for the developed toolkit. The breastfeeding education toolkit has the potential to support positive social change by improving the health of the mothers and babies through improved breast-feeding knowledge.

Abstract:
This paper explores the most current research on the identified gap in breastfeeding initiation and duration rates among low-income mothers when compared with the general population. Women that fall into the “low-income” bracket and who participate in the WIC program are nearly 12% less likely to initiate breastfeeding than the general population, and less likely to continue for a year (Hedberg, 2013). The articles examined discuss the barriers and supportive measures that contribute to or hinder breastfeeding success among low-income prenatal and postpartum mothers. The articles focus on providers knowledge and attitudes toward breastfeeding in relation to the promotion of breastfeeding among low-income women, interventions to extend the duration of breastfeeding once initiated, strategies to encourage best-practice uptake among nursing staff, ways to motivate low-income women to breastfeeding over formula feed, and the benefits of Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Food and Nutrition Service involvement. These articles further discuss the impact women’s confidence regarding breastfeeding has on its success, as well as low-income mother’s experience and perceptions of both professional and peer breastfeeding support. Beyond the review of current literature, this paper will identify best-practice recommendations, a proposed implementation plan, and a proposed evaluation of the implementation process.

Abstract:
The aim of these studies was to increase knowledge about hospital feeding routines in high-risk neonates. A retrospective medical chart review procedure was used to study routines at the neonatal units of two Swedish hospitals. In Papers I and II, the sample (Uppsala n=21 and Umeå n=21) comprised of small for gestational age (SGA) infants, in Papers III (Uppsala n=64 and Umeå n=59) and IV (n=127), the samples comprised of appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants. Paper I indicated large enteral/oral milk volumes rendered i.v. administration of glucose unnecessary, reduced weight loss and helped SGA infants regain birth weight earlier. More rapid postnatal growth did not remain up to 18 months with corrected age in any growth variable (Paper II). In Paper III, effects were compared whether the infants’ volume of breast milk intake in hospital was estimated by “clinical indices” or determined by test-weighing. Infants treated in hospitals where test-weighing was practised attained exclusive breastfeeding at an earlier postmenstrual age (PMA), and they were discharged at an earlier PMA. However, the two study units were similar regarding the proportion of infants attaining exclusive breastfeeding. Paper IV revealed preterm AGA infants with higher standard deviation scores (SDS) at birth had more negative changes from birth to discharge for all growth variables. Conclusions: Papers I and II indicated that early initiation of enteral/oral feeding with proactive increases in milk volume was beneficial short term. No evidence was found for a proactive nutrition regimen with initial large volumes of milk resulting in a different pattern of growth up to the corrected age of 18 months. Test-weighing before and after breastfeeding might help infants to attain exclusive breastfeeding at an earlier PMA (study III). Finally, preterm AGA infants with higher SDS at birth are at higher risk of inadequate growth during their hospital stay (study IV).

Abstract:
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the differential effects of breastfeeding practice and having an intention to breastfeed (during pregnancy) on a mother’s maternal responsiveness to her infant after birth. Methods: Using longitudinal data from a subsample of 962 mother-infant dyads from a UK cohort study (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children), we investigated the influence of intention to breastfeed at 3 months pregnancy and breastfeeding practice and on mother-infant interactions at 12 months after birth. Breastfeeding intent and practice were assessed by questionnaires administered to the mothers. Intention to breastfeed in the first 3 months postpartum was measured at 32 weeks into the pregnancy, while breastfeeding practice (over first 12 months postpartum) was measured retrospectively at 15 months post partum. Results: Using logistic regression analyses, we found that intending to breastfeed at 32 weeks gestation significantly predicted maternal responsiveness, namely that an intention to breastfeed increased the odds of positive maternal responsiveness, independently of breastfeeding practice. However, we found the practice of breastfeeding was not an independent predictor of positive maternal responsiveness once intention to breastfeed was accounted for. Using a life course epidemiology approach we further demonstrated that maternal responsiveness is most positive when both the intention to breastfeed and breastfeeding practice are present. Conclusions: To our knowledge this is the first study to report that having the intention to breastfeed an infant is more strongly associated with positive maternal responsiveness than the act of breastfeeding itself. This may suggest that more responsive mothers choose to breastfeed rather than breastfeeding practice directly causing enhanced responsiveness. Further research will be needed to understand the nature of this intention and its relationships with maternal responsiveness. However, the results may also highlight the potential importance of parenting intentions/ preparations during pregnancy for a mothers developing abilities to be responsive to her infant after birth.

Abstract:
Breastfeeding initiation rates in the United States remain below the Healthy People 2010 goals. Research indicates patient interaction with health care providers may play an important role in womens ultimate feeding choice. This study sought to examine the impact of provider counseling regarding breastfeeding during the prenatal period on feeding outcome by evaluating: 1) if providers addressed womens concerns regarding breastfeeding; and 2) how providers responded to a womans feeding choice. We also sought to examine whether the type of counseling provided by providers regarding infant feeding is influenced by patient socio-demographics and stated feeding plans. This study is cross-sectional with convenience sampling of all English or Spanish speaking women on the postpartum floor at Yale-New Haven Hospital. A total of 130 women participated. Overall, 95.4% of women identified a concern they had about breastfeeding during the prenatal period, and one quarter of patients had their concerns about breastfeeding addressed. The majority of patients (74.6%) were asked about their feeding plans, and 50.5% were encouraged to breastfeed. Unlike the majority of studies that indicate young, African American, poorly educated, unmarried and low income women are less likely to receive counseling from providers to breastfeed, providers in our study area focused their efforts on this population. In multivariate analysis, neither having concerns addressed nor being encouraged to breastfeed were associated with increased likelihood of breastfeeding. Addressing patients concerns may be most relevant in the small subset of patients who make their feeding choice during pregnancy. Finally, women who were asked about their plans and had their concerns addressed (p=.010) or were encouraged to breastfeed (p=.040) were more likely to make their decision during pregnancy compared to before pregnancy than women whose providers did not discuss these issues. Likewise, mixed feeders were more likely to make their decision regarding infant feeding during rather than before pregnancy. This data suggests providers may be encouraging women to think more thoroughly about the possibility of breastfeeding, thus delaying their decision. In conclusion, many women are not being encouraged to breastfeed or having their concerns about breastfeeding addressed. All women would benefit from prenatal discussion of these topics; however, the effect may be most profound in women who make their decision regarding feeding during pregnancy.

Full text
Abstract:
Breastfeeding has health benefits for mothers and babies. An action research project was undertaken to improve knowledge of breastfeeding and implement evidence based practice, that of uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby at birth. The beliefs underpinning the project were informed by critical inquiry, dialectics and feminist theory. Data was collected by means of field notes, participant observation, focus groups and semi- structured interviews. Analysis during the project using critical reflection was ongoing and collaborative, feeding back into the action research cycles, so guiding the changes. Before successful change in practice can occur, practitioners need to be convinced of its value, involved in the change process and facilitated to incorporate it into practice. Hospitals tend to reinforce the power of professionals by their adherence to historical routines and institutionalised practices which lead to compliance thus hindering change. The strategic use of power by midwives was apparent, constructing people's world view, thus reinforcing the power structure. Empowerment of women and midwives was necessary to the success of the project by education, support, role modelling, strategies for remembering and the active participation of midwives. Theories of change were used to illuminate challenging issues from the project. Early contact between mother and baby at birth is an area generating a large volume of literature. Skin-to-skin contact was disrupted by technology, time limits and the social norm of separation. Interviews with women and midwives allowed a deeper insight into the experience of skin-to-skin contact, giving more value to the change. Further issues to emerge were the implications of separation, the social construction of time, embodied praxis and love. Recommendations are made for the more effective action research approach to implementing change, and personal empowerment as the basis for improving the experience of birth.

Abstract:
Breastfeeding support for mothers and their babies historically was the informal work of family and community members. In the United States today, breastfeeding support is embedded in the biomedical system, and is provided by a new allied health professional: the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). This dissertation explores this professionalization of breastfeeding support and the origins of this new profession. It studies how IBCLCs working in the U.S. cultural context perceive and practice the profession and examines the relationship between the profession of lactation consulting and the medicalization of breastfeeding. Oral history interviews with 17 founders of the profession, which was established in 1985, and a content analysis of the professional journal (the Journal of Human Lactation) from 1985 to 2010, allowed me to build the story of how and why breastfeeding support became professionalized and how experiential breastfeeding knowledge entered the domain of expert knowledge. While constrained by the biomedical system in which they created the profession, the founders exhibited a both agency and creativity in their production and reproduction of professional values and practices. Interviews with 30 currently certified IBCLCs and observations of the clinical practice of 3 IBCLCs provided insight into the daily practice of IBCLCs working in different settings--hospitals, WIC clinics, pediatric offices, and private practice. The data collected from these ethnographic methods demonstrated how the medical knowledge base of IBCLCs translates into clinical practice with patients, and allowed me to understand the relationship between the profession of lactation consulting and the medicalization of breastfeeding. While IBCLCs' draw on medicalized knowledge and evidence about breastfeeding and human lactation, their interactions with clients are best described as empathetic and humanistic, and are derived from nursing and mother-to-mother breastfeeding support models rather than from a technocratic, biomedical approach to care. While the appropriation of certain biomedical values and standards helped to legitimize the professionalization efforts of the founders, in practice, lactation consultants apply their medical knowledge and clinical experience in a way that reflects the compassionate, empowering care approach of mother-to-mother breastfeeding support and that thus resists the overt medicalization of breastfeeding.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Breastfeeding peer support helps lactating women to sustain breastfed and reduce cultural barriers. This study aimed to examine the effects of maternal age, maternal education, maternal employment, type of labor, knowledge, attitude, family support, and social capital on breastfeeding practice. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted at 25 integrated health posts in Karanganyar, Central Java, from August to September 2019. A sample of 200 lactating mothers with children aged 7-12 months was selected by stratified random sampling. The dependent variable was exclusive breastfeeding. The independent variables were maternal age, maternal education, maternal employment, type of labor, knowledge, attitude, family support, and social capital. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multipe logistic regression. Results: Exclusive breastfeeding increased with maternal age 20-34 years (b= 1.96; 95% CI= 0.53 to 3.39; p= 0.007), maternal education ≥Senior high school (b= 1.47; 95% CI= 0.08 to 2.87; p= 0.038), good knowledge (b= 1.73; 95% CI= 0.33 to 3.12; p= 0.015), positive attitude (b= 1.61; 95% CI= 0.28 to 2.94; p= 0.017), strong family support (b= 1.39; 95% CI= 0.13 to 2.65; p= 0.030), and strong social capital (b= 1.34; 95% CI= 0.01 to 2.68; p= 0.049). Exclusive breastfeeding decreased with mothers working outside the house (b= -2.95; 95% CI= -4.37 to -1.53; p<0.001) and sectio cesarean labor (b= -1.57; 95% CI= -3.06 to -0.08; p= 0.039). Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding increases with maternal age 20-34 years, maternal education ≥Senior high school, good knowledge, positive attitude, strong family support, and strong social capital. Exclusive breastfeeding decreases with mothers working outside the house and sectio cesarean labor. Keywords: exclusive breastfeeding, bipsychosocial Correspondence: Lathifah ‘Arub.

Abstract:
Background: Exclusive breastfeeding can reduce child mortality. The achievement of exclusive breastfeeding has not reached the expected number due to various factors. This study aims to examine the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding practice in Madiun, East Java. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Madiun, from February to May 2020. A sample of 200 lactating mothers was selected randomly. The dependent was exclusive breastfeeding. The independent variables were health promotion program, observational learning, role model, vicarious learning, imitation, positive attitude, outcome expectation, self-regulation, self-efficacy, and reinforcing. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression run on Stata 13. Results: Exclusive breastfeeding increased with following health promotion in exclusive breastfeeding program (OR= 2.76; 95% CI= 1.05 to 7.25; p= 0.039), high observational learning (OR= 3.33; 95% CI= 1.27 to 8.71; p= 0.014), strong role model (OR= 3.43; 95% CI= 1.10 to 10.67; p= 0.033), high vicarious learning (OR= 3.83; 95% CI= 1.31 to 11.12; p= 0.014), strong imitation (OR= 2.98; 95% CI= 1.19 to 7.48; p= 0.020), positive attitude (OR= 3.14; 95% CI= 1.03 to 9.60; p= 0.044), positive outcome expectation (OR= 3.56; 95% CI= 1.30 to 9.79; p= 0.014), strong self-regulation (OR= 2.59; 95% CI= 1.10 to 6.07; p= 0.028), strong self-efficacy (OR= 4.91; 95% CI= 1.84 to 13.11; p= 0.001), and reinforcing (OR=3.42; 95% CI= 1.17 to 10.01; p= 0.024). Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding increases with following health promotion in exclusive breastfeeding program, high observational learning, strong role model, high vicarious learning, strong imitation, positive attitude, positive outcome expectation, strong self-regulation, strong self-efficacy, and reinforcing.

Abstract:
Abstract: This research investigated maternal and infant care in Lesotho, with an emphasis on exclusive breastfeeding practices during the first year of life. A quantitative, descriptive survey included 97 mothers attending healthcare facilities. The findings highlighted a prevalent preference for exclusive breastfeeding in the initial three months, which decreases during the following 3 months. Yet around 7% introduced complementary foods or fluids early on and many did not breastfeed exclusively until the 6-month recommended period. The majority began breastfeeding within the recommended one-hour post-delivery window. Distinct decision-making dynamics emerged: nearly half of the mothers made autonomous feeding decisions, around a quarter collaborated with the child’s father or partner, and 11.3% involved extended family in these choices. Colostrum's recognized value as a newborn's first nutrient source aligned with global health recommendations. However, the early introduction of other foods indicates a need to explore mothers’ beliefs and knowledge about feeding practices further. Common breastfeeding challenges encompassed issues like sore nipples and perceived milk insufficiency, underlining the importance of educational support. Healthcare professionals, especially nurses, played a key role in offering guidance and support on breastfeeding. The frequent practice of immediate skin-to-skin contact post-birth emphasized the trend toward promoting early bonding and breastfeeding initiation. Furthermore, the community’s positive reception to public breastfeeding signaled societal acceptance. In conclusion, this study illuminates the nuances of breastfeeding practices and decision-making in Lesotho, providing insights into interventions and policies to enhance maternal and child health in the country.

Abstract:
The practice of complementary feeding (introducing solid foods alongside breastfeeding) is an important aspect of infant nutrition. However, the timing of introducing complementary feeding is crucial for optimal growth and development. This study aims to investigate the factors associated with early complementary feeding among breastfeeding mothers with infants aged 0-6 months in Kapkatet County Hospital, located in Kericho County. A cross-sectional analytical study design was employed, involving 246 breastfeeding mothers attending Kapkatet County Hospital. Data on demographic characteristics, individual characteristics, cultural practices, and knowledge regarding complementary feeding were collected through structured questionnaires and key informant interviews. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study found that a significant proportion of infants (70.7%) in Kapkatet County Hospital were introduced to complementary feeding before the recommended age of 6 months. Reasons for early introduction included concerns about the negative impact of exclusive breastfeeding on body shape and breast size, pressures from the mother-in-law, infant hunger, maternal responsibilities, slow weight gain in infants, breastfeeding-related pain, and cultural practices, such as the use of herbal remedies. The findings of this study highlight the need for targeted interventions to address the factors associated with early complementary feeding. To promote appropriate feeding practices, it is recommended to create mother-friendly work environments and implement information education and communication (IEC) strategies, coupled with behavioural change communication (BCC) approaches using mass media platforms. These measures will help raise awareness among breastfeeding mothers regarding the importance of adhering to recommended guidelines for complementary feeding.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: The breastfeeding practice of primiparous mothers in developed and developing countries is influenced by various factors. The breastfeeding factor for primiparous mothers is closely related to their initial experience of giving breast milk to success and failure in achieving exclusive breastfeeding. The purpose of this study was to explore the factors that influence primiparous mothers in giving exclusive breastfeeding. Subjects and Methods: This scoping review uses an electronic bibliographic database method. Articles were obtained from 5 databases, namely Science Direct, PubMed, EBSCO, Wiley and ProQuest conducted systematically from 2009 to 2019. Articles used in this scoping review were described in the Prefered Reporting System of Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) flowchart. Results: Based on 8 articles from 421 articles obtained showed that internal factors come from the mother herself and external factors that come from outside the mother were related in giving exclusive breastfeeding. Internal factors include the initial response of primiparous mothers in exclusive breastfeeding, maternal psychology when giving exclusive breastfeeding, coping with primiparous mothers during the process of giving exclusive breastfeeding, commitment of primiparous mothers to exclusive breastfeeding. Maternal external factors include social support for primiparous mothers in providing exclusive breastfeeding and socio-culture to primiparous mothers in providing exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: The most influential internal factor is the primiparous mother’s psychological factor. The most influential external factor is socio-culture. There are still many countries that adhere to socio-culture which can hinder the process of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract:
This toolkit is the main output of the UK-wide Action for Breastfeeding (A4B) study1which was funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The aim of this toolkit is to provide guidance and recommendations for those looking to implement and evaluate breastfeeding support interventions in NHS settings. The recommendations outlined in this toolkit are based on key findings from systematic reviews of global evidence undertaken as part of the A4B study. They were also co-developed through workshops across the UK, and other engagement activities, with the study’s Stakeholder and Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) groups. The first section describes evidence-based intervention components for breastfeeding support services; we call this the A4B programme. This section also includes clinical examples and recommendations to meet the needs of breastfeeding women living with long-term conditions. The second section focuses on supporting the implementation of the A4B programme at organisational and team levels. The final section sets out recommendations for the delivery and evaluation of the A4B programme. This section provides guidance and suggestions for supporting materials to consider when implementing each component of the A4B programme. The second part of this section provides practical considerations and suggested outcomes to evaluate the A4B programme and breastfeeding support interventions more generally, including evaluation approaches in practice. The A4B toolkit is complementary to UNICEF UK BFI standards. The BFI programme provides minimum standards to support all families with infant feeding and develop close loving relationships with their baby. The A4B toolkit provides evidence-based components and guidance to enhance breastfeeding support.

Abstract:
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides healthy foods and services to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, as well as to infants and children up to age 5. In 2009, revisions were made to the WIC program to further improve the nutrition and health of infants by providing benefits to promote and support breastfeeding among those who are able and to improve infant feeding practices. This study compared breastfeeding initiation for rural and urban WIC participants, as well as changes in breastfeeding and infant feeding practices before and after the WIC Food Packages (WIC-FPs) revisions. Secondary data from the National Food and Nutrition Survey were used consisting of data from 58 WIC programs representing 38 states, two U.S. districts and territories, and 10 Indian/tribal organizations. Our results revealed breastfeeding for WIC participants continues to move in a positive direction with evidence showing a significant increase in fully breastfeeding post WIC-FP revisions in both rural and urban participants. Our findings for infant feeding revealed an improvement in feeding practices post WIC-FP revisions, such as a delay in the introduction of solid food. Rural participants, however, were still lagging behind their urban counterparts.

Infant feeding counseling within Kenyan and Zambian PMTCT services: How well does it promote good feeding practices? Population Council, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/hiv2003.1007.

Full text
Abstract:
Infant feeding counseling is an important intervention for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV. More than one-third of HIV transmission to infants occurs through breastfeeding, and up to 20 percent of infants born to HIV-infected mothers acquire the virus from breast milk in countries where extended breastfeeding of children is the norm. The World Health Organization advises that HIV-positive mothers should be offered nondirective counseling on various infant feeding options that are feasible, affordable, safe, sustainable, and effective in the local context. The Horizons Program collaborated with NARESA in Kenya, the MTCT Working Group in Zambia, and UNICEF to examine the implementation of infant feeding counseling as part of a comprehensive study in each country to document the acceptability, operational barriers, cost, and impact of pilot PMTCT services. This brief presents key findings from the Kenya and Zambia studies on the content of counseling, provider attitudes about infant feeding options, and the extent to which actual infant feeding practice by mothers is consistent with recommended practice.

Programme recommendations for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV: A practical guide for managers. Population Council, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/hiv2003.1009.

Full text
Abstract:
UNAIDS estimates that 800,000 children were infected with HIV in 2001, almost all through transmission of the virus from their mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Of these, seven of each eight live in sub-Saharan Africa and most of the rest live in South and Southeast Asia. To combat mother-to-child transmission of HIV (MTCT), in 1999 the UNAIDS Secretariat, UNFPA, UNICEF, and WHO launched the Inter Agency Task Team on Prevention of HIV Transmission in Pregnant Women, Mothers, and Their Children (IATT), which provides guidance for prevention of MTCT (PMTCT). In the view of the IATT, PMTCT is part of broader strategies to prevent the transmission of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, to care for HIV-positive women and their families, and to promote maternal-child health. The IATT has proposed a four-pronged approach for the prevention of HIV transmission to pregnant women, mothers, and their children, yet significant financial and technical challenges remain. To address these challenges, UNICEF has supported 11 pilot projects in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
