“…This result was similar to the previous studies conducted in Ghana [21] and Brazil [43]. In addition to gaps in mothers' knowledge of EBF, the results of this study indicate that most mothers also had inadequate knowledge of duration of feeding, colostrum, breastfed on-demand, benefits to mothers and babies, the danger of bottle-feeding, compared to the studies conducted in Italy [44], China [20], and India [45]. Therefore, these gaps in maternal knowledge should be taken into consideration for future interventions designed by health workers, policymakers, and health educators who should make a conscious effort to explain the benefits of breast milk, breastfeed on-demand, and colostrum initiation immediately after birth.…”

“…Mothers' good knowledge and positive attitude play key roles in the process of breastfeeding [20]. A previous study reported that mothers with higher knowledge of EBF were 5.9 times more likely to practice EBF than their counterparts (OR 5.9; 95% CI 2.6, 13.3; p < 0.001) [21] and higher scores of breastfeeding knowledge (OR 1.09; 95% CI 1.04-1.14), attitude (OR 1.04; 95% CI 1.00, 1.09), and practice control (OR 1.11; 95% CI 1.02, 1.20) were associated with a higher prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding [22].…”

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is recommended for the first six months of age by the World Health Organization. Mothers' good knowledge and positive attitude play key roles in the process of exclusive breastfeeding practices. In this study, we report on a systematic review of the literature that aimed to examine the status of mothers' knowledge, attitude, and practices related to exclusive breastfeeding in East Africa, so as to provide clues on what can be done to improve exclusive breastfeeding. Methods: A systematic review of peer-reviewed literature was performed. The search for literature was conducted utilizing six electronic databases, Pub med, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Embase, Science Direct, and Cochrane library, for studies published in English from January 2000 to June 2019 and conducted in East Africa. Studies focused on mothers' knowledge, attitudes, or practices related to exclusive breastfeeding. All papers were reviewed using a predesigned data extraction form. Results: Sixteen studies were included in the review. This review indicates that almost 96.2% of mothers had ever heard about EBF, 84.4% were aware of EBF, and 49.2% knew that the duration of EBF was the first six months only. In addition, 42.1% of mothers disagreed and 24.0% strongly disagreed that giving breast milk for a newborn immediately and within an hour is important, and 47.9% disagreed that discarding the colostrum is important. However, 42.0% of mothers preferred to feed their babies for the first six months breast milk alone. In contrast, 55.9% of them had practiced exclusive breastfeeding for at least six months. Conclusions: Exclusively breastfeeding among our sample is suboptimal, compared to the current WHO recommendations. Thus, it is important to provide antenatal and early postpartum education and periodical breastfeeding counseling, to improve maternal attitudes and knowledge toward breastfeeding practices.

“…The results of this study indicate that most mothers have adequate breastfeeding attitudes with no difference between working mothers and housewives.

Although the mother's occupation and attitude towards breastfeeding are not related, this study found another result.…”

ABSTRAKPeran ganda pada ibu yang bekerja rawan menimbulkan stress yang dapat mempengaruhi pembentukan sikap ibu terutama sikap pemberian ASI, dimana sikap merupakan salah satu faktor penting yang mendorong keberhasilan pemberian ASI. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi hubungan pekerjaan dan status paritas ibu dengan sikap pemberian ASI (Air Susu Ibu) pada bayi usia 0-6 bulan di Kecamatan Panti Kabupaten Jember. Penelitian dengan desain cross sectional dilakukan pada 273 ibu yang memiliki bayi usia 0-6 bulan dengan stratified random sampling. Kuesioner digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi karakteristik responden dan sikap ibu dalam pemberian ASI eksklusif. Chi-square test digunakan untuk menjawab tujuan penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar pekerjaan ibu adalah ibu rumah tangga (80,2%) dan sebagian besar ibu memiliki sikap pemberian ASI yang cukup (90,8%). Analisis bivariat menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara pekerjaan ibu dengan sikap pemberian ASI (χ2= 2,089; p-value= 0,352). Akan tetapi teridentifikasi bahwa status paritas ibu berhubungan dengan sikap pemberian ASI (χ2= 14,050; p-value= 0,001). Dapat disimpulkan dari penelitian ini bahwa pekerjaan ibu tidak berhubungan dengan sikap pemberian ASI, tetapi status paritas ibu berhubungan dengan sikap pemberian ASI. Program KB (Keluarga Berencana) perlu ditingkatkan dengan tujuan mendorong ibu memberikan ASI kepada anaknya sesuai usia yang ditentukan.

“…Late postpartum is sometimes less evidenced, taking into account the actions to strengthen BF in the prenatal and in the immediate postpartum. However, it is considered a vulnerable period, and research has already pointed to the need for continued breastfeeding care and counseling (17)(18) .…”

Objective: To identify the factors associated with the maintenance of exclusive breastfeeding and to verify the justification for the introduction of other liquids in the late postpartum of mothers and children attended by a breastfeeding consultant. Method: A non-comparative prospective cohort, conducted with 150 mothers and children. Data was collected at rooming-in 15 and 30 days after birth and analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate regression. Results: The reasons for introducing water, tea, and breast milk substitutes were the following: thirst, abdominal cramps, and infant crying, respectively. Vaginal delivery, not using a pacifier or bottle and seeking professional help after discharge were associated with the exclusivity of late postpartum breastfeeding. Conclusion: The introduction of a professional breastfeeding consultant is of significant importance in the rise of exclusive breastfeeding rates.
