“…10 Choudhary R study found that there was significantly early initiation of Breastfeeding in intervention group (those who received Breastfeeding counselling admitted for delivery) than control group (p = 0.0001). 14 Similar results on timing of initiation of Breastfeeding were seen by others. 15,16 Studies reported that early initiation of Breastfeeding had powerful influence over the duration of EBF up to 6 months.…”

Background: Breastfeeding is fundamental to the health and development of children and important for the health of their mothers. Correct information, timely initiation and duration of Breastfeeding, family support and weaning practices are important aspects. Health care professionals play a critical role in influencing decisions about feeding practices among mothers and families. Methodology: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in rural area of Haryana over a period of 12 months commencing from March 2019. Multistage sampling technique was used to enroll 200 infants aged 6-11 completed months and their mothers who were willing to participate in the study. Appropriate statistical tests were used in form of percentages, chi square and logistic regression. Result: Mothers receiving 3, 4 and > 4 antenatal check-ups were 1.6, 2.7 and 2.1 times more likely to get ANC counselling in comparison to women with single antenatal check-up done. Women’s literacy played a significant role in receiving antenatal counselling (p=0.035). Infant feeding practices like giving colostrum, starting feeding within 1 hour of delivery, burping after feed, exclusive breastfeeding for 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months etc were followed more among educated mothers and those given antenatal breastfeeding counselling but the association was statistically non-significant. Conclusion: This study concludes that antenatal breastfeeding counseling is very useful for exclusive Breastfeeding and for improving infant breastfeeding practices.

Introduction: Evaluation of the effectof educational intervention on early initiation of breast feeding in full term normally delivered baby 1 & 6 months andfactors affectingbreast feeding. Methods: interventional study with subjects as mothers with vaginal delivered newborns excluding preterm, VLBW/ LBW /IUGR babies, newborn with medical or surgical problems and whose child didn't survive Cases were pregnant women attending antenatal clinic of KRH (n=124) and controls were mothersdelivered at government hospital except KRH. (n=120). Mothers counseled antenatally and helped for initiation of breast feeding immediately after birth and again counseled individually at discharge, on follow up at end of1 st and 6months. In control group breast feeding practices were recorded at 1 and 6 months after birth without any counseling. Results: There were 76.8% (n=80) mothers who had early initiation of breast feedingin interventional groupcompared to 10.56% (n=12) in non-interventional group with odds ratio of 32. 93 and 83% mothers in interventional group were practicing EBF (p = 0.01) against only 63%, and 49% mothersat 1 and 6 months respectively in non-interventional group. Effect of counseling in cases for EBF was more in primiparous (70.83% and 91.30%) than in multiparous (29.16% and 60.41%) at 1 and 6 months respectively (p = 0.01and 0.04). Conclusion: counseling antenatally and at regular intervals significantly increase early initiation and sustainedexclusive breast feeding. This influence primiparous mothers more.

“…The calculated sample size was 188 (94 for each group) and after using a design effect of 1·5 and adding 10 % lost to follow-up, the final sample size was 310 (155 for each group). For the second specific objective, taking 85·5 and 64 % prevalence of exclusive breast-feeding in the intervention group and in the control group, respectively, from a study done in India ( 31 ) . The calculated sample size was 120 (60 for each group) and after using a design effect of 1·5 and adding 10 % lost to follow-up, the final sample size was 198 (99 for each group).…”

Introduction: Optimal breast-feeding practices make a major contribution to the promotion of healthy growth and development through much prevention of diarrheal and respiratory diseases which majorly cause morbidity and mortality in under-five children. However, breast-feeding practices remain suboptimality in Ethiopia. Objective: The study objective was to determine the effect of maternal nutrition education on early initiation and exclusive breast-feeding practice in the Hawela Tulla sub-city. Methods: A cluster randomised, parallel-group, single-blinded trial was used. About 310 pregnant women (155 for the intervention group and 155 for the control group) were included. Result: An early initiation of breast-feeding was significantly higher among women who received breast-feeding education than those who did not receive (104(72·7 %) v. 85(59·9 %), P = 0·022) and exclusive breast-feeding practice was also significantly higher among women who received breast-feeding education than those who did not receive (106(74·1 %) v. 86(60·6 %), P = 0·015). Breast-feeding education [AORs 1·55, 95 % CI (1·02, 2·36)], institutional delivery [AOR 2·29, 95 % CI (1·21, 4·35)], vaginal delivery [AOR 2·85, 95 % CI (1·61, 5·41)] and pre-lacteal feeding [AOR 0·47, 95 % CI (0·25, 0·85)] were predictors of early initiation of breast-feeding. Breast-feeding education [AOR 1·72, 95 % CI (1·12, 2·64)] and institutional delivery [AOR 2·36, 95 % CI (1·28, 4·33)] were also determinants of exclusive breast-feeding practices. Conclusion: Breast-feeding education improved early initiation of breast-feeding and exclusive breast-feeding practices. Providing sustained education to women regarding early initiation and exclusive breast-feeding practice should be strengthened.
