“…NFHS 3 survey on exclusive breastfeeding in India documented that 46% of babies are exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life [16]. Since 1990, the global rates on exclusive breastfeeding have remained stagnant with only 37% of children younger than 6 months being exclusively breastfed despite repeated emphasis on this aspect [17]. Also, there is little sign of improvement globally with early initiation of breastfeeding at 43% and continued breastfeeding from 20 to 23 months at just 55% [18].…”

Background. Breastfeeding is the optimal method for achieving a normal growth and development of the baby. This study aimed to study mothers' perceptions and practices regarding breastfeeding in Mangalore, India. Methodology. A cross-sectional study of 188 mothers was conducted using a structured proforma. Results. Importance of breast feeding was known to most mothers. While initiation of breast feeding within one hour of birth was done by majority of mothers, few had discarded colostrum and adopted prelacteal feeding. Mothers opined that breast feeding is healthy for their babies (96.3%) and easier than infant feeding (79.8%), does not affect marital relationship (51%), and decreases family expenditure (61.1%). However, there were poor perceptions regarding the advantages of breast milk with respect to nutritive value, immune effect, and disease protection. Few respondents reported discontinuation of breastfeeding in previous child if the baby had fever/cold (6%) or diarrhea (18%) and vomiting (26%). There was a statistically significant association between mother's educational level and perceived importance of breastfeeding and also between the mode of delivery and initiation of breast feeding (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Importance of breast feeding was known to most mothers. Few perceptions related to breast milk and feeding along with myths and disbeliefs should be rectified by health education.

Penyebab rendahnya pemberian ASI di Indonesia adalah kurangnya pengetahuan ibu hamil, keluarga dan masyarakat akan pentingnya ASI, meningkatnya pemberian MPASI sebelum waktunya dan kurangnya dukungan dari masyarakat, termasuk institusi tempat perempuan bekerja yang belum memberikan kesempatan dan ruang khusus untuk menyusui. Penelitian ini merupakan deskriptif analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah tenaga kesehatan perempuan di Kota Bandar Lampung yang memiliki bayi usia 7-24 bulan. Sampel penelitian ini diambil dari tujuh Puskesmas Kecamatan di Kota Bandar Lampung sebesar 113 responden. Data penelitian menunjukkan persentase pemberian ASI eksklusif pada tenaga kesehatan perempuan yaitu (57. 4%). Variabel yang berhubungan dengan pemberian ASI eksklusif adalah, pengetahuan sebesar 72. 8%, dan sikap positif sebesar 72. 1% (faktor predisposisi). Variabel yang berhubungan dengan pemberian ASI ekslusif pada (faktor penguat) dukungan keluarga sebesar 75, 7%, dukungan atasan 65, 9% dan dukungan teman kerja sebesar 68, 8%. Tidak terdapat korelasi antara ketersediaan fasilitas dan pelatihan manajemen laktasi (faktor pendorong) terhadap pemberian ASI. Faktor yang paling dominan berhubungan dengan pemberian ASI eksklusif adalah pengetahuan. Ibu dengan pengetahuan yang baik memiliki peluang untuk bisa memberikan ASI eksklusif sebesar 13 kali lebih besar dibandingkan ibu yang memiliki pengetahuan kurang.

“…8 Out of the 70 infants of the 4-5 months age group enrolled in our study, 51 (72.9%) infants were exclusively breastfed which was found to be statistically very significant (p-<0.0001) ( Table 2) Lack of exclusive breastfeeding during first 6 months accounts for 77% deaths and 85% disability-adjusted life years. 11 Our hospital being a 'Baby Friendly Hospital,' having trained staff nurses and 'Mother Support Group'(MSG) counsellors for antenatal and postnatal counselling along with medical personnel may be one of the factors contributing to relatively higher rates of early initiation of breastfeeding within one hour as well as of exclusive breastfeeding in infants at 4-5 months of age as compared to various studies in literature.…”

Background: Poor child feeding practices and sub-optimal breastfeeding have a detrimental effect on health of children less than 2 years of age. We studied the breastfeeding as well as the complementary feeding practices in the children <2 years of age in our tertiary institute with the help of the WHO2008 document, Indicators for assessing infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in asymptomatic children (< 2 years), in a tertiary care hospital using a pre-designed, validated WHO questionnaire for information regarding feeding practices.Results: The mean age in hours, for initiation of breastfeeding after birth was 3.92. Amongst the age group of 4-5 months, 72.9% (51/70) babies were exclusively breastfed and 86% (43/50) of infants aged 6–8 months received appropriate solid, semi-solid or soft food. Breastfeeding was continued in majority of the children in 90% in the age group of 12-15 months. Only 13 (7.5%) of 177 breastfed babies and only 4 (8.5%) out of 47 non-breastfed were receiving Minimal Acceptable Diet in the 6-23 months group.Conclusions: Although the results for the breastfeeding and weaning indicators were fairly good, there still exists a lack of knowledge about complimentary feeding practices which need to be drastically improved by appropriate health education and dietary advice.
