“…EBF counseling to mothers, antenatal education programs, and breastfeeding support interventions were found to be significantly associated with EBF in studies conducted in India[2729] and other countries. [243043444546] Similarly, poor or inadequate knowledge about breastfeeding was found to be an important barrier to EBF in studies conducted in Sri Lanka[21] and in the state of Qatar. [23] Moreover, our study has recognized the importance of mother's role in decision-making about infant feeding.…”

Context: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in first the 6 months of life is the most effective way to satisfy nutritional and psychological needs of a baby. However, EBF rate for India remained low at 54.9% during 2015–2016. It is therefore essential to understand the reasons for such a low EBF rate in the country so that appropriate interventions can be developed and implemented. Objectives: (1) To estimate the prevalence of EBF in rural community of central Gujarat and (2) to identify barriers to EBF in this community. Materials and Methods: A community-based cross sectional study was conducted among mothers of 330 infants of age 6 months to 1 year using pretested questionnaire. Two-stage cluster sampling technique was used to select the sample. χ 2 test, t -test, and logistic regression were applied to assess the significance of associations. Results: EBF rate in the studied population was detected to be 49.7%. Early marriage of parents, less educated parents, male child, Christian religion, working mother, less number of antenatal visits, operative delivery, late initiation of breastfeeding, not feeding colostrum, lack of knowledge about EBF, and poor counseling of mother regarding EBF were identified as barriers to EBF. Conclusion: Prevalence of EBF was found to be lower than the national average in the rural community of central Gujarat. Effective strategies at local, state, and national levels should aim at addressing the barriers to EBF that are identified in this study.

“…25 The baby-friendly hospital initiative may facilitate exclusive breastfeeding practice through ten steps for successful breastfeeding, including improving the implementation of breastfeeding initiation. 26 Adherence to these measures not only had a positive impact on breastfeeding initiation and exclusive breastfeeding, but also the breastfeeding duration. 27 For that reason, mothers may still have the opportunity to breastfeed their babies exclusively regardless of the type of delivery.…”

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding plays an important role in preventing morbidity and mortality in infants and young children. However, exclusive breastfeeding coverage remains low, especially among working mothers. This study aimed to examine the relationship between early initiation of breastfeeding and prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers in Bantul District, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. The population were all women in reproductive age who worked in middle and large companies. Samples included mothers whose infants were aged six to 12 months and were selected by probability proportional to size sampling technique. Main outcome was exclusive breastfeeding, while the independent variable was the early initiation of breastfeeding. Statistical analysis were descriptive statistics test, chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression at the level of significance of 0.05. Results: Exclusive breastfeeding coverage was around 22%, whilst the early initiation of breastfeeding coverage was 10%. Early initiation of breastfeeding was associated with exclusive breastfeeding practice (adjusted OR = 2.93; 95% CI: 1.04 - 8.28). Variables that were not significantly related to exclusive breastfeeding included being a first-time mother, maternal age, maternal educational level, breastfeeding counselling during antenatal visits, and delivery methods. Conclusions: Early initiation of breastfeeding is associated with higher prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers. To increase exclusive breastfeeding coverage, particularly among employed women, it is highly recommended to enhance early initiation of breastfeeding program.

“…Galtry et al11 found that being blue collar or lower income generally implies lower skill requirements, less flexibility and even less protective working rights hence affecting the health behavior. According to data from Korea, highly educated women more frequently decide to breastfeed 12. Particularly for the breastfeeding attitude, a study from Malaysia reported that there was a strong correlation between higher education and better knowledge of breastfeeding with the positive attitude and behaviour of breastfeeding among woman workers 13.…”

Background: Working status is identified as a major risk factor of poor breastfeeding practices among workers. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and factors associated with breastfeeding practice among white-collar and blue-collar workers in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in two factories and three government offices in Jakarta from December 2015 to February 2016. Subjects were woman workers whose children were age 6 to 24 months old and actively working in the factory and/or office. The factors studied were selected socio-demographic and occupational characteristics, score on knowledge and attitude, and breastfeeding practice during working hours. Results: From a total of 192 subjects, 73% of white-collar workers had good knowledge on breastfeeding, in contrast with 55% of blue-collar workers who had not good breastfeeding knowledge (P < 0.001). Most of the subjects were conducting breast pumping during working hours, however 15% of white-collar workers and 17% of blue-collar workers never breastfeed nor breast pumped at work. Working status (P = 0.005) and knowledge (P = 0.002) were factors associated with breastfeeding practice among workers. Conclusion: White-collar workers have a better knowledge, attitude, and practice toward breastfeeding. Knowledge improvement related to breastfeeding benefits and supports to working mothers are a key priority, however advocacy to employers, managers, and supervisors in providing breastfeeding facilitation and program support were also critical to successful breastfeeding practice among workers.
