The assessment of these factors is useful for directing interventions to improve current breastfeeding experience.…”

“…The involvement of close family members (fathers and/or grandmothers) have been shown to increase optimal IYCF practices [82][83][84]. Therefore, community-based interventions that aim to improve IYCF in Ethiopia must consider the involvement of these close family members who play an important role in mothers' decisions to initiate, cease or continue breastfeeding in the early postnatal period [85,86].…”
