Abstract:
Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding is feeding a child with only breast milk. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines prelacteal feeding as any fluid given to a child before breastfeeding starts. It affects exclusive breastfeeding, exposes infants to infections, and contributes to infant mortality. WHO recommended that Mothers should be discouraged from giving any food or fluids other than breast milk, unless medically indicated. This study aimed to identify determinants of prelacteal feeding in Maternal and Child Health Clinic. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted

Abstract:
Early breastfeeding (ASI) in the first days of birth provides many benefits where there is colostrum which is proven to be very rich in antibodies which can increase the baby's immunity. Prelacteal food is given to babies in the first days after birth on the grounds that breast milk (ASI) has not been released so that the first days after birth are a vulnerable period for babies to receive prelacteal food/drinks. Prelacteal foods are dangerous because they can replace colostrum as the baby's earliest food. The impact of prelacteal feeding is that babies may get diarrhea, septicemia (bacterial

Exclusive breastfeeding (breastfeeding only for babies until they are six months old) is an activity that is very beneficial for both mother and baby. The low achievement of exclusive breastfeeding often begins with giving prelacteal intake in the first days of the baby's life because of the low understanding of the baby's mother about the importance of breastfeeding.

The practices of colostrum avoidance and prelacteal feeding, which are common in many developing countries, including Ethiopia, are firmly rooted in ancient traditions. The main objective of this work is to identify the prevalence of colostrum avoidance and study its associated factors among mothers of children aged less than 2 years old in the Oromia region of Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study on the practice of colostrum avoidance/prelacteal feeding was conducted in a rural community with 114 mothers of children under 2 years old. Our results reflected that colostrum avoidance and prelacteal

Abstract:
Background Early initiation of breastfeeding within one hour of birth (EIBF) and no prelacteal feeding are WHO recommended practices for improving maternal and newborn health outcomes. Globally, EIBF can avert around 22% of newborn death. In recent years, Bangladesh has experienced increasing facility delivery coverage and cesarean section rates. However, the impact of these changes on early breastfeeding initiation in hard to reach areas (HtR) of the country is still poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the independent associations between childbirth locations and mode of

Abstract:
Introduction: Early initiation of breastfeeding within one hour of birth decreases infant morbidity and mortality, and it helps promote exclusive breastfeeding. Despite the benefits of early initiation of breastfeeding, the practice is far from adequate. We aim to identify the barriers to the early initiation of breastfeeding among postnatal mothers.
 Method: A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out among the postnatal ward of Manipal Teaching Hospital from 1 June to 30 August 2017. Consecutive sampling was used. Ethical permission was obtained. Data was collected through face-t

Good nutrition in early life is key to building the body’s immunity and good health in later years. For children aged 0-6 months, exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is widely advocated as the optimum practice. In Kenya, exclusive breastfeeding rates are still low. The purpose of this study was to determine the maternal factors, feeding practices and morbidity among children aged 0 to 6 months attending well baby clinic at Kwanza Hospital, Trans-Nzoia, Kenya. A cross-sectional analytical design was utilized and systematic sampling used to attain the sample size of 151 children. Questionnaires, focus
