Prelacteal feeding and associated factors among mothers having children less than 24 months of age, in Mettu district, Southwest Ethiopia: a community based cross-sectional study

Abstract: ObjectiveDespite prelacteal feeding contravenes with exclusive breastfeeding, it is a prevailing problem in Ethiopia. However, its burden and factors were not investigated in Mettu district. Therefore, the objective of our study was to conduct the burden of prelacteal feeding and its associated factors. Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 730 mother–child pairs. Stratified cluster sampling was used. Data were collected by face- to- face interview.

“…Prevalence of prelacteal feeding in this study was relatively comparable with studies in Wolayta sodo (20.6%), Tigray (24.7%) and Dabat district (26.8%) [16,20,21]. However, the gure we have obtained are far higher than those found in other studies in Sidama (5.5%), in Mettu (14.2%) and in Debrebirhan (14.2%) [22,23,24]. The observed variance may be due to variations in culture, health service access and population character.…”

“…The odds of practicing prelacteal feeding among mothers who gave birth at home were 7 times higher than mothers who gave birth at a health facility (AOR = 7.52; 95% CI: 3.44,16.45). This finding is similar to a study conducted in Raya Kobo district [13], Mettu district [16], Harari Region [17], Debre…”

“…Sidama [14], Wolaita zone [15], Mettu district [16], Harari Region [17], Motta Town [18], Bahir Dar City [19], Debre Berhan district [20], Debre Markos town [21], Ethiopia [22] be due to the discrepancies in socio-demographic and economic status, health service availability and utilization. Similarly, this finding is higher than findings from studies conducted in the same regional state (Afar) but the urban area which includes Dubati town 16.8% [23] and Semera city 62.5% [24].…”

“…Accordingly, the prevalence of prelacteal feeding was found to be 17.1% with 95% CI [14.3, 20]. This nding is in line with study done in Indian16.9% (24) and Mettu district 14.2% (5). This similarity might be due to similar study design and study setting.…”

“…United Nation Child Emergency Fund (UNICEF) discourages this practice and recommends to continue breast feeding up to 2 years and beyond (3,4). Despite of this recommendations, in many parts of the globe including Ethiopian mothers give prelacteal foods to their child (5)(6)(7)(8).…”
