“…(12) Having more antenatal care visits was associated with lower odds of delayed initiations of breastfeeding and non-exclusive breastfeeding, indicating that health promotion efforts should focus on encouraging mothers to attend these visits. (13) Furthermore, this suggests that antenatal care visits represent an effective access point for providing breastfeeding education.…”

Why was it set up? Since the early 2000s, India has made significant strides in the health sector, as indicated by major reductions in infant mortality and maternal mortality rates. (1-4) Yet, the country struggles in addressing chronic diseases, nutritional deficiencies, newborn health outcomes, women's health issues, and sexually transmitted and blood-borne infection (STBBI) rates. A large challenge in addressing these health outcomes is the lack of access to quality healthcare among vulnerable and remote populations, such as rural and tribal communities, especially considering that the vast majority of Indians live in rural areas. (5,6) In an effort to address health disparities in rural areas, the Kisalaya ("young tender shoots") Cohort was established in 2008, providing integrated antenatal care and HIV testing in order to reduce adverse birth outcomes and pediatric HIV infections. The program used a mobile clinic model to deliver health education, antenatal care, and HIV/STI testing and management to pregnant women in 144 rural villages in Mysuru Taluk of Mysuru district (Figure 1). The mother-offspring dyads were followed-up at 15 days and 6 months post-delivery. The study team continues to stay connected to the dyads informally on a regular basis. This cohort design allows investigators to monitor how access to comprehensive prenatal and HIV services impacts postnatal health outcomes for both women and children over time. The rich data pertaining to maternal and child health will be used in our future research related to the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) of cognition and cardiometabolic risk factors among the offspring.

“…There is evidence to suggest that infants who are breastfed exclusively have 13% reduced risk of mortality compared to nonexclusively breastfed infants in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). 15,16 In LMICs, only 37% of children are breastfed exclusively for the first 6 months of life and India is no exception. 17 According to the national family and health Survey-4, on average only 56% of Indian mothers practiced EBF (exclusive breast feeding) for the full 6 months.…”

Background: Bottle feeding is one of the preventable causes of morbidity and mortality in infants and young children. Children admitted in our hospital analyzed at our center and appropriate advice and guidance for cessation of bottle feeding was given. The objective of this study was to analyses the feeding pattern and the reasons for bottle feeding in children and to help mothers to try and give up bottle feeding and initiate breast feeding.Methods: Retrospective analysis of 200 children less than 2 years admitted to Shri B M Patil hospital for various illnesses was done. Children were divided into 2 groups mainly breast-fed children and bottle-fed group. Both groups were analysed with respect incidence of infection, reason for bottle feeding, age of introduction of bottle feeding, time taken by mother to give up bottle feeing and type of compatible feeding at the time of discharge.Results: All the mothers could give up bottle feeding in less than 7 days during the hospital stay. 81 mothers were able to initiate breastfeeding of which 4 mothers were able to exclusively breastfeed at the time of discharge. 66 mothers were not able to initiate breastfeeding.71% of children received help with drip-drip method of feeding. Breast refusal was the cause of bottle feeding in 40.13% (59/147) of babies.Conclusions: Bottle fed children were more prone to infections. All the mothers gave up bottle feeding within 1 week. Drip drop method was the most effective strategy for initiation of breastfeeding.
