“…The support significantly influences the practice and success of EBF [11]. Furthermore, the social, cultural, economic, biological, psychological aspects, and health professionals' support are critical in the maintenance of EBF [12]. Therefore, there are various aspects of support necessary to ensure the maintenance of EBF.…”

Background Worldwide, only 41 % of infants are exclusively breastfed for the first six months while South Africa has an alarming figure of only 12 %. First-time mothers are inexperienced in the initiation and maintenance of exclusive breastfeeding, hence a need for support. Data on forms and quality of exclusive breastfeeding support as experienced by first-time mothers is minimal. The study explored the exclusive breastfeeding support available to first-time mothers in the Buffalo City Metro, South Africa. Methods A qualitative explorative, descriptive and contextual study, and a non-probability, purposive sampling was used with 10 first-time mothers within the first six months postpartum. The in-depth face-to-face semi-structured individual interviews for data collection and Creswell’s steps of thematic analysis were used. Results Two themes emerged; challenges, empowerment, support and resilience during initiation of exclusive breastfeeding, and diverse support and resilience during maintenance of exclusive breastfeeding. First-time mothers received practical support majorly from nurses and other mothers during the initiation; social support was from family members, friends, and community members for the maintenance of exclusive breastfeeding. Sometimes there was a disjuncture between practical support from nurses and that from family members and the community. There were instances where the support was needed but not given or not supportive of exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusions These findings illustrate that professional, practical and social support for first-time mothers is crucial in the initiation and maintenance of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months. Timing and the kind of support given to these mothers is crucial for successful exclusive breastfeeding.

It boosts immune system, controls gastrointestinal infections, pneumonia, UTI and provides proper nutrients like protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. Aim of the Study: The study aimed to find out the factors of early discontinuation of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) during the first 6 months of life of hospitalized babies. Methods: It is an observational prospective study conducted at the Bangladesh Shishu Hospital and Institute. The sample size was 191 infants and their mothers. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire prepared by the researchers and applied to the mothers of infants. The study was conducted during the period of 1 July 2020- 31 December 2020. Result: Most of the infants 111(52.3%) were aged<20 days and most of the mothers 154(80.6%) were aged more than 20 years. Majority of the mothers 107(56.1%) were housewives and 14(7.3%) infants were preterm. Most of the babies 125(65.4%) weighted more than 2500g. In this study majority of the babies 161(84.29%) were healthy cried immediately after the birth. Majority of the babies 105(55%) could suck breast milk properly after the birth. In 103(53.9%) cases, breastfeeding was initiated within an hour after the birth. Normal vaginal delivery was done in 98(51.3%) cases and caesarean section was done in 93(48.7%) cases. Majority of the mothers113 (59.2%) had misconception about quantity of milk they believed that they don’t have enough milk. Only 32(16.8%) mothers doesn’t like breastfeed the baby and 65(34%) mothers believed that formula is better than breast milk and 107(56%) mothers had lack of knowledge about advantages of breast milk.

“…The information obtained in this study does not confirm what was established in the previous literature review since it was not possible to establish an association between education and/or training in breastfeeding and its early initiation and skin-to-skin contact. However, as proposed by Catunda HLO et al (2015) 41 , whose objective was to evaluate the determining factors of adherence to exclusive breastfeeding in the first month of life and the participation of institutional actors in the promotion of this process, the results obtained from our research provide information for the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding through proper guidance during pregnancy and after delivery.…”
