“…Twenty-seven studies described advice providers for CFP, of which nine had overall WOE = H and eighteen had overall WOE = M. The commonest source of feeding advice were health-care professionals, including doctors, auxillary nurse midwives, lady health visitors and anganwadi health workers, usually at antenatal visits or during immunizations (twenty-one studies (26,35,38,45,46,50,51,(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)60,61,64,66,68,(77)(78)(79)(80) ). The next most common source of advice was a family member, usually the grandmother or mother-in-law (eleven studies (26,35,45,46,48,52,54,55,60,67,81) ), with nine further studies specifically mentioning elders (35,40,42,45,51,61,66,77,79) .

INTRODUCTIONBreastfeeding is a natural event; this performance is an accomplished practice that requires continuous effective support to make it successful. Breastmilk is the most superior feed for the infant to fulfil the nutritional need for proper growth and development of the infant. 1Breastfeeding has both short term benefits like protection from respiratory infections and diarrheaas well as long term benefits on blood sugar level, Intelligence and obesity. 2,3Breastfeeding practiceshave a positive impact on the infant mortality rate in the developing countries like India. 4As per latest Lancet Breastfeeding Series, exclusive breastfeeding can prevent 32% of all respiratory infections, 54% of all cases of diarrhea and 87% of deaths of infants less than 6 months of age. Background: Breastfeeding is the most essential, dynamic and profitable method of giving infants the perfect start in life. The Recent Rapid Survey on Children in India shows that 44.6% infants are now being breastfed within an hour of birth and 64.9 % of 0-6months old infants were exclusively breastfed. Aims and Objectives: To estimate the proportion of mothers who successfully breastfeed their children according to the WHO ten steps towards successful breastfeeding. Materials and Methods: A Cross-sectional study was conducted in Postpartum ward of JIPMER, Karaikal from 1 st August to 31 st September. Mothers aged 18-49 years; given birth to healthy, singleton baby and stayed in hospital for minimum 24 hours after delivery were included in the study. The questions about breastfeeding practices based on "WHO ten steps of successful breastfeeding" were asked. Mothers knew seven steps or more(score ≥ 7) were considered as having successful breastfeeding. Results: Out of 205 only 32 (15.60%) mothers breastfeed their child successfully.There is significant difference between multiparous and primiparous mothers in Breastfeeding initiation within one hour of delivery(p=0.04) and Prelacteal feeding Practice (p = 0.003). The successful breastfeeding rate was higher among multiparous compared to primiparous mothers which is statistically significant (p=0.032). Conclusion: There is existence offaulty practice in breastfeeding process among post-partum mothers.The role of health professionals in encouraging optimal breastfeeding are remarkably low. Compulsory Implementation of BFHI in every hospitalby a Breastfeeding Committee, can be planned to increasing the breastfeeding rate.

Maternal self‐efficacy during infancy is shaped by many factors, including maternal mental health and social support. This study examines how depression, emotional support, and childcare support relate to maternal self‐efficacy among mothers of infants in rural Pakistan. Participants included 885 mothers assessed at 3 and 6 months postpartum. At 3 months postpartum, mothers completed interview measures of depression, emotional social support, support with day‐to‐day childcare tasks (daily childcare support), and childcare support when they were unable to care for their child (childcare support when needed). At 6 months postpartum, participants reported on maternal self‐efficacy. Generalized estimating equations were used to test the associations between depression and social support at 3 months and maternal self‐efficacy at 6 months, as well as the interaction between depression and social support. Depression at 3 months was not associated with maternal self‐efficacy at 6 months when controlling for depression at 6 months. Emotional support was associated with increased self‐efficacy, but daily childcare support was not. We found weak evidence that childcare support when needed was associated with increased self‐efficacy only among mothers with depression. Results suggest that emotional support and childcare support when needed may be helpful for promoting mothers’ self‐efficacy.
