Background. Prelacteal feeding is defined as administration of any substances other than breast milk to newborn babies during the first 3 days after birth. Despite its negative health outcomes, it is commonly practiced in developing countries. Therefore, this study aimed at assessing the prevalence of pre-lacteal feeding practices and associated factors among mothers of children aged less than 2 years of age in Kersa district, Eastern Ethiopia. Method. A community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 465 mothers having children aged less than 2 years in Kersa district. A multistage sampling technique was used to select study participants. Binary logistic regression analysis was fitted to identify factors associated with prelacteal feeding practices. Variables with a P-value <.05 were identified as statistically significant factors. Results. The prevalence of pre-lacteal feeding in Kersa district was 46.4% (95% CI; 42.0%, 51.5%). Initiating breastfeeding after 1 hour of delivery (AOR = 10.80, 95% CI: (5.79, 20.17)), giving birth at home (AOR = 2.77, 95% CI: (1.41, 5.46)), not knowing risks associated with pre-lacteal feeding (AOR = 3.25, 95% CI: (1.72, 6.15)) and perceiving pre-lacteal feeding as beneficial (AOR = 9.56, 95% CI: (4.45, 20.52)) were factors significantly associated with practice pre-lacteal feeding practices. Conclusion. Significant proportions of mothers were practicing pre-lacteal feeding in the study area. Late initiation of breastfeeding, home delivery, not knowing risks of prelacteal feeding, and perceiving pre-lacteal feeding as beneficial were contributing factors for practicing of pre-lacteal feeding. Therefore, promoting institutional delivery and timely initiation of breastfeeding would reduce prelacteal feeding in Kersa district.

Abstract BackgroundEthiopian government implemented baby-friendly hospital initiative and community integrated management of childhood illnesses program. Despite early initiation of breastfeeding taken as a key tool for tackling neonatal mortality, EIBF is still low and most of the neonatal mortalities were existed due to delayed initiation of breastfeeding in Ethiopia in general and the practice is not well documented in South West Ethiopia in particular. Therefore, this study aimed to assess early initiation of breastfeeding practice and associated factors among mothers of children aged less than six months of old in Mizan-Aman town, southwest Ethiopia.MethodsA community-based cross-sectional study was employed from April 15 to May 15, 2018. A total of 487 recently delivered mothers were included. The data was collected through face to face interview by using a pre-tested and structured questionnaire. Binary and multivariable logistic regression analysis were employed and p-value < 0.05 was identified as statistically significant factors, and the quality of the data were assured, checked, coded, cleaned and entered in Epi-Info version 3.5.3 and exported to SPSS version 25 for the analysis. ResultThe prevalence of timely initiation of breast feeding was 296(64.50%) in Mizan- Aman Town. Mothers who had < 24 months birth spacing history 1.85(AOR: 95% CI: 1.22, 2.81), mothers’ income level between 1001-1500 Ethiopian Birr 2.21 (AOR: 95% CI: 1.12, 4.37), Primipara mothers 2.00 (AOR: 95% CI: 1.24, 3.23) and home delivery 2.76(AOR: 95% CI: 1.24, 6.14) were important positive predictors for timely initiation of breast feeding. Furthermore, Government employee and merchant mother by occupation was found to be protective factors.Conclusion and recommendationThe practice of early initiation of breast feeding was suboptimal and still below the national average. Intervention at the community and facility level should paid special attention.

Objective: To assess the magnitude and associated factors of timely initiation of breastfeeding among cesarean section delivered mothers. Methods: A health facility-based cross-sectional study was employed among 421 systematically selected mothers from February to June, 2017. Data were collected by a structured questionnaire. Data entry and analysis was done using Epi Data and SPSS version 24. Binary logistic regression was computed to identify factors. Adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to declare statistical significance. Result: The magnitude of timely initiation of breast feeding (among mothers who gave birth by cesarean section was 57%. Counseling during antenatal care (AOR = 3.32; 95% CI: 1.80, 6.13), facility where cesarean section (CS) was performed (AOR = 2.55; 95% CI: 1.57, 4.14), and post-CS counseling (AOR = 6.93; 95% CI: 3.99, 12.02) were factors that contributed for the practice of timely initiation among cesarean section delivered mothers. Conclusions: The magnitude of TIBF was good. Counseling during ANC, the facility where CS was performed and post-natal advice were factors associated with TIBF. Implementation of baby-friendly hospital initiatives should be strengthened in order to promote timely initiation of breast feeding.

Abstract Background: Prelacteal feeding is administration of any food or fluid other than breast milk before initiation of breast feeding. Optimal breastfeeding including discouraging prelacteal feeding could save 823,000 lives per year among children ages five years old and younger. Despite of this mothers give prelacteal feeding to their child in different part of Ethiopia; However, there is a paucity of information on prevalence of prelacteal feeding and associated factors in the study area. Thus, the current study aimed at determining of the prevalence of prelacteal feeding and associated factors among mothers of children aged less than six months in Gozamen district, East Gojjam zone, North West Ethiopia, 2019-2020Methods: A community -based cross-sectional study was conducted among 741 mothers of children aged less than six months in Gozamen district from August 2019 to Feb 2020. Stratified cluster sampling technique was used to select study participants. Data were collected by face to face interviewer-administered, pretested and semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive analysis, bi-variable and multivariable logistic regression model were employed. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to identify factors associated with prelacteal feeding.Results: In this study the prevalence of prelacteal feeding was found to be 17.1%with 95%CI [14.3, 20]. Mothers who had no ANC follow up [AOR: 7.53, CI; 3.32, 17.05], those mothers who did not discard colostrum [AOR: 0.12, CI; 0.07, 0.12] time of breast feeding initiation [AOR: 3.53, CI; 2.05, 6.11] and mothers who had single ANC visit [AOR: 2.98, CI; 1.52, 5.85] were significant independent factors associated with prelacteal feeding.Conclusion: This study concluded that prelacteal feeding was high in the study area .Therefore, in order to tackle this problem strengthening antenatal follow up, timely initiation of breastfeeding, health education and awarenes creation of the communities are recommended interventions.

Background: People working in tea gardens of Tripura differ from other people in terms of ethnicity, culture, food habit, literacy etc. and limited information is available regarding infant feeding practices and its association if any, with nutritional status of under-five children of this community. Methods: This community based cross-sectional study was conducted during 1st July to 31st August 2016, using a validated interview schedule, among 170 women working in different tea estates of West Tripura district, having children aged 6 months to 2 yr, chosen by multistage sampling. Descriptive statistics and χ2 test were used to present data. P value ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Breastfeeding initiation rate within one hr of birth was 50.59%, colostrums was fed to 82.35%, prelacteal feeding was given to 30.59%, 65.88% were exclusively breast fed and overall feeding practice was proper in 51.76% of the study children. Khichdi (34.1%) was the commonest complimentary feed and katori and spoon (64.7%) were the commonest feeding utensils. Prevalence of underweight, stunting and wasting was 9.0%, 12.9% and 7.3% respectively and these were found to be more frequent among children who received prelacteal feeding, late initiation of breastfeeding and early complimentary feeding, though statistically these were not significant. Conclusions: Overall infant feeding practice was better among educated mothers and institutional births; hence improvement in literacy and promoting institutional deliveries will further improve feeding practice in this community. Though underweight, stunting and wasting was prevalent but these had no significant association with feeding practices. Hence further studies are required to investigate the causes of malnutrition among children of this community.

Abstract Background: Postpartum family planning is an important intervention for reducing high risk fertility behavior and spacing birth intervals; which ultimately helpful for the health of mothers and their babies. Hence, this study aimed to determine the magnitude of timely initiation of postpartum contraceptive and associated factors among extended postpartum women in Pawe district, Northwest Ethiopia.Methods: Community based cross-sectional study design was employed from February to March 2019 in Pawe district. A stratified multistage sampling technique was used to select a total of 820 women in the extended postpartum period. Data were collected using a pretested interviewer administered questionnaire. A bivariable and multivariable logistic regression model was fitted to identify determinants of timely initiation of postpartum contraceptive among extended postpartum women. Adjusted Odds ratio (AOR) with 95% CI was computed to assess the strength and presence of an association. Variable with less than 0.05 p-value considered as a significant determinant of contraceptive initiation.Results: Out of the total participants about 37.2% [95% CI (34.0, 40.5)] initiated postpartum contraceptive. Time return of menses [AOR=18.32, 95% CI(11.66,28.80)], postnatal care [AOR=7.8, 95%bCI(3.98,15.44)], knowledge level regarding modern contraceptive methods [AOR=3.0, 95% CI(1.40,6.59)], time of resumption of sexual intercourse [AOR=2.1, 95% CI(1.327,3.21), husband approval to use contraceptive [AOR=2.45,95%CI(1.42,4.22), antenatal care [AOR=2.1,95% CI(1.13,3.76), place of delivery at institution [AOR=2.0, 95% CI(1.22,3.39)], and got family planning counseling at delivery [AOR=2.34, 95% CI(1.22,4.49)] were factors associated with timely initiation of postpartum contraceptive. Conclusion and recommendation: The magnitude of timely initiation of postpartum contraceptive was low. This suggests strengthening the integration of postpartum contraceptive use with other basic maternal health services and improving knowledge of women in practicing timely initiation of postpartum contraceptive before engagement to risk activities of unintended pregnancy is important.

Introduction: Breastfeeding benefits both the mother and infant. It contains all the essential nutrients in an adequate amount that fulfils the infant first six month’s needs. Early initiation of breastfeeding is necessary to ensure consumption of colostrum having multiple protective factors. Aim and Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of early initiation of breast feeding and to determine its associated factors among 0- 23 months children. Methodology: A community-based cross- sectional study was carried out among 339 children aged 0-23 months in field practice areas of Rural & Urban Health Training Centres (RHTC & UHTC), Department of Community Medicine, Govt. Medical College, Haldwani, District Nainital for a period of 6 months using simple random sampling. Questions related to Early initiation of breast feeding and its associated factors were asked through Epicollect software. Wald’s statistics, Chi- square test, Fisher’s exact test were applied. P value of less than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: The prevalence of Early Initiation of Breastfeeding was 45.1% (95% CI= 39.9%-50.5%) which was significantly associated with place of delivery, mode of delivery, mother’s education & ANC care. Conclusion: Early Initiation of Breastfeeding practice was found in almost half of children which were significantly associated with various factors highlighting the importance of addressing these factors to improve Early Initiation of Breastfeeding practices.
