Background: Breast milk is the most valuable source of food for infants, no food is comparable. However in many countries around the world including Vietnam, the breastfeeding prevalence has been declining. A report of the Ministry of Health showed that only 19.6% of infants in Vietnam were exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months. The study was conducted in Hoi An with the aim at describing the situation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of the mothers in Hoi An city, Quang Nam province and; identifying some factors affecting exclusive breast feeding for the first 6 months in the study area. Methods: A crosssectional descriptive study was conducted in Hoi An city in December 2014. 516 mothers of infants aged from 6 to 12 months were directly interviewed on the basis of a structured questionnaire. Information about general characteristics of mothers and their infants, their knowledge and attitude of breastfeeding and the feeding types of their baby for the first 6 months was collected. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify factors affecting exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months. Results: The exclusive breastfeeding prevalence for the first 6 months is 22.3%. Knowledge in breastfeeding and attitude toward exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months are factors that significantly related to exclusive breastfeeding prevalence for the first 6 months (OR = 3.3; p=0.001 and OR=10.4; p<0.001, respectively). Conclusion: The exclusive breastfeeding rate for the first 6 months in Hoi An city is low. The promoting antenatal education in exclusive breastfeeding is necessary solution to improve exclusive breastfeeding rate for the first 6 months.

Background Breast milk contains many essential nutrition factorsbest for babies. The 1997 Indonesian Health Demography foundthat the proportion of exclusive breastfeeding was still low (52%)and increased to 55.1% in 2002. Due to increasing number ofworking mothers, promoting breast feeding among them should beperformed properly. There are no data on exclusive breastfeedingrate and pattern among working mothers in Indonesia.Objective To describe exclusive breastfeeding rate and patternamong working mothers in several areas in Jakarta and the influ-encing factors.Methods A descriptive study using a questionnaire was conductedfrom October 2005 to February 2006. Subjects were workingmothers who had 6 to 12 month old baby and breastfed and thebaby had no congenital or chronic disease.Results Among 290 mothers interviewed, 40% worked at banksor insurance business, 34% were private employees, 25% medicalstaffs, and 2% were teachers. Almost 80% have exclusivelybreastfed for less than 4 months, 17% for 4 months, and only 4%for 6 months. Maternal leave, family support, mothers’ knowl-edge, facilities at workplace, media influences, and working hoursseemed to have no relations to breastfeeding rate. There were122 (42%) mothers who had good knowledge about physiologyof lactation, 155 of them (53%) had fair knowledge, and only45% of them had poor knowledge.Conclusions The proportion of working mothers in several areasin Jakarta who have exclusively breastfed for 4 months is 17%, andonly 4% of subjects do exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months. Mostsubjects have a good to fair knowledge about the physiology oflactation but it does not seem to influence the decision to exclu-sively breastfed their babies.

Breast Milk (ASI) is indispensable during infant growth and development. WHO has recommended for exclusive breastfeeding for up to 6 months without providing complementary foods and continued for up to 2 years accompanied by complementary foods. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of exclusive breast feeding and maternal education on infant development. This study is quantitative analytic observational with cross sectional design with a large sample of 83 people. The sampling method used is proportional sampling. Data analysis was done unvaried and bivariate. Univariate analysis showed that most of the infants received exclusive breastfeeding as much as 46 people (55.4 percent), low education as many as 56 people (67.5 percent) and most normal development of 47 people (56.6 percent). The result of bivariate analysis of exclusive breastfeeding on infant development with chi square test obtained value of P value less than 0,000 means there is relation between exclusive breast feeding to infant development and bivariate analysis of mother education on infant development with chi square test obtained value of P value 0,012 meaning there is a relationship between maternal education on infant development.

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding has been defined by WHO as “When an infant has been given only breast milk from his/her mother or a wet nurse or expressed breast milk during first six month of life and no other liquids/solids except necessary medicine and nutrional supplements in form of drops or syrup”. Aim was to Assess the prevalence and factors associated for faulty feeding on exclusive breast feeding practices of children less than six Months.Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional survey was conducted from May 2020 to October 2020 at Narayan medical college, Jamuhar, Rohtas, South Bihar. All mothers who visited for immunization and/or postnatal care services were considered as the study population. Lactating mothers who had under six-month infants were included. We observe the breastfeeding process for five minutes and record as per the WHO B-R-E-A-S-T feed observation form. The observation was done by asking the mother to put her infant to the breast.  Results: In this present study 58.5% study subjects were given exclusive breast feeding, 36.25% study subjects were given exclusive breast feeding only for some period and rest 5.25% had not given exclusive breast feeding since birth. In this study 46% study subjects had bottle feeding habit, whereas rest 54% do not had Bottle feeding habit.  Conclusions: The Exclusive Breast Feeding was satisfactory (58.5%). Some basic reason for faulty feeding were mothers’ belief that no milk, insufficient milk, baby is sick, mother is working/studying.

Abstract Background: The rates of exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months in China are relatively low. The purpose of our study was to investigate the rate and influencing factors of exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months in Nanjing, China.Methods: A total of 1261 mothers from six community healthcare centres in the main urban and suburban districts of Nanjing were enrolled from January 2019 to June 2019. A multivariate logistic regression analysis and chi-squared test were used to explore the factors related to exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months.Results: The rate of exclusive breast-feeding for the first 6 months was 29.4% in our study. A high education level, caesarean delivery, gestational age <37 weeks, having babysitters care for their babies, taking medicine during lactation and using a bottle to feed breast milk were shown to be associated with non-exclusive breast-feeding. The reasons for providing milk formula to babies were different among different stages in the first 6 months. A common reason for giving up exclusive breast-feeding was a perceived insufficiency of breast milk.Conclusion: Investigating the reasons and then implementing the corresponding measures would improve exclusive breast-feeding in the future.

Back ground : Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) means that the infant receives only breast milk for the first six months of life after birth. In Bangladesh, 55% of children less than 6 months of age are exclusively breastfed according to BDHS 2014. Objectives : To assess the exclusive breast feeding practice and associated factors among children in an urban area ofBangladesh. Method : This cross-sectional study was conducted in Popular Medical College, Dhanmondi, Dhaka, among 80 mothers having infants aged 7-12 months, attending the outpatient department were selected purposively for the study during the period of 1st August 2017 to 31st December 2017. Sample were selected purpasively for the study and predesigned questionnaire were used for data collection. Data analysis was done by using SPSS software version 22. Result : It was found that only 30(37.5%) mother went for regular antenatal checkup and remaining 50 (62.5%) had irregular antenatal check up. But none of them got breastfeeding advice during antenatal visit. Breastfeeding was initiated with in 1 hour of birth in 36(40%) cases and 44 (60%) cases after 1hour of birth. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF)was found in 40 (50%) children. Among them 30 (75%) were children of housewife mothers. Mixed feeding (breast milk plus formula/ cow’s milk) was given to 30 children among them18 (60%) were the children of housewife mothers.Only formula milk was given to 10 children of them 8(80%) were the children of housewife mothers.Exclusive breast milk was not given by 18(45%) mothers due to job or other occupation whereas 22 (55%) mother did not give EBF due to insufficient breast milk. Conclusion : In the study rate of exclusive breast feeding was 50%. This study also showed that frequency of exclusive breast feeding practice was lower in working mothers than housewife mothers. This study also showed that the speculation of not getting sufficient milk was one of the main reasons for not giving exclusive breastfeeding.

Objectives : There is gradual reduction of exclusive breast feeding practice as age advances from birth to 6 months. The aim of the study was to see the status of exclusive breast feeding up to 6 month of age, among the babies of working mothers and housewife mothers and also to see different contributing factors among the working mothers for the initiation of breast milk substitute within this period.Material and Methods : This is a descriptive type of study conducted in Ad- Din Hospital at OPD from 1st January 2008 to 31st December 2009.Total 400 babies were selected, among them 200 were the babies of the working mothers, considered as cases and 200 were the babies the of housewives considered as control. Sampling was done purposively. Then babies of working mothers were divided in to 2 groups according to their age- (Group-I –babies of 3 months±15 days and Group-II 6 months±15 days). Also babies of the housewife mothers were also divided in to 2 groups (Group-I II–babies of 3 months±15 days and Group-IV 6 months±15 days). Each group includes 100 babies. Mothers or caregivers of their babies were interviewed only once for the study with a set questionnaire.Results : Seventy eight percent (78%) working mothers were continued exclusive breast feeding up to 3 months±15 days but at the age of 6 months±15 days only 21% babies were continued exclusive breast feeding . On the other hand at the age of 3 months ±15days 66% and at 6 months ±15days of age 45% babies of housewife mothers were continued exclusive breast feeding. Highly significant reduction of exclusive breastfeeding among babies of working mothers (p value< 0.001) and also that of the housewife mothers (p value<0.05). Significant number of mothers (more than 80%)of both the groups had no or inadequate knowledge about expression and preservation of breast milk (p value <0.001 ). Maternity leave was less than 6 months, 4 months in government organization (GO) and even 45 days for in some non government organization (NGO) were observed.Conclusion : Exclusive breast feeding up to 6 months of age less among the babies of working mothers even with a good start. Lack of knowledge about expressed breast milk, policy adopted by the employers and maternity leave less than 6 months are the main contributing factors for reduction of exclusive feeding.Northern International Medical College Journal Vol.5(2) 2014: 339-341

Exclusive Breast Feeding

IntroductionBreast feeding has been considered important due to its short-term and long-term benefits on infant and maternal health. Regarding the long-term benefits, the influence of exclusive breastfeeding on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) during childhood and adolescence has been studied, although with controversial conclusions. This study protocol aims to provide a clear and standardised procedure for systematically reviewing the relationship between breast feeding, in terms of duration and exclusivity, and CRF in children and adolescents.Methods and analysisThis systematic review and meta-analysis protocol is reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols. A literature search will be conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library. Observational studies regarding the association between breast feeding and CRF in children and adolescents written in English or Spanish will be included. A Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross Sectional Studies and The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale for longitudinal studies will be used for quality assessment of included studies. Standardised mean differences of CRF by exclusive breastfeeding categories will be calculated as the primary outcome. Subgroup analyses and meta-regression will be performed based on the sources of heterogeneity.Ethics and disseminationThis evidence-based systematic review will summarise the relevant information on the association of exclusive breast feeding and CRF in children and adolescents. The results will be disseminated by publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Given that the data used for this systematic review will be exclusively extracted from published studies, ethical approval will not be required.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42018082642.

Background: Breastfeeding is exceptionally superior, giving mother and infants distinct and subtastial physical, mental, and developmental health advantages. Palm fruit has content of phytonutrients with antioxidant properties and galactagogues to help increase their milk supply in the early postpatum days. The lowest exclusive brest feeding rates in DIY is in the city of Yogyakarta. Exclusive breast feeding improves infant immunity so as to minimize the occurrence of diarrhea, constipation, fever that is caused by some allergic reactions. Objectifive: :This study aimed to analyze the relationship between date palm fruits on postpartum to prolactin and volume of breast milk Method: Research was conducted on maternal postpartum which is divided into two groups. They are the control group; and the treatment group which was given dates palm fruit. Breast milk volume and prolactin was measured at 3 day after labor. The analytical method used is Student T-test. Results: Date Palm fruits increased prolactin and volume of breast milk which was significantly on firstweek breastfeeding increase in the treatment group compared to the control group at p <0.05. Conclusion: Date Palm fruits is one of the alternatives that can be done to improve the success of exclusive breast feeding on postpartum.

Abstract Background China has an extremely low exclusive breastfeeding rate. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) has been shown to increase the exclusive breastfeeding rate among infants born extremely or very preterm. However, there is limited evidence surrounding intermittent KMC and exclusive breastfeeding in late preterm infants. In our study we investigated the association between the provision of intermittent KMC and breastfeeding practice for late preterm infants in four hospitals in different provinces of China. Methods Intermittent KMC was recommended to the mothers of all preterm infants admitted to the postnatal wards of participating hospitals between March 2018 and March 2019. Those who agreed to practice KMC were enrolled in the “KMC group”, those who did not were enrolled in the “No KMC group”. Basic maternal socio-demographic information was collected, feeding practice; outcome and method, were recorded daily whilst in hospital. A follow-up survey of feeding practice was conducted 42 days after discharge. Calculations for feeding practice were performed separately for both groups. Logistics regression was used to analyze the association between KMC and feeding outcome and method, adjusting for socio-demographic covariates. Results Among the 844 mothers participating in the study, 627 (74.3%) chose to perform KMC. More of the mothers who provided KMC were exclusively breast milk feeding their infants in the 24 hours before hospital discharge (54.6%) and at follow-up (57.3%), compared to mothers who did not provide KMC (34.6% at discharge and 33.2% at follow-up,). Mothers in the KMC group were more likely to be breastfeeding (method) than mothers in the No KMC group (65.3% vs. 52.1% at discharge, and 83.1% vs. 67.3% at follow up). Logistic regression indicated that compared with the No KMC group, mothers who provided KMC were twice as likely to be exclusively breast milk feeding their infants at discharge (OR=2.15 (1.53-3.02)), use breastfeeding method at discharge as opposed to other means such as bottle or cup feeding (OR=1.61 (1.15-2.25)), be exclusive breast milk feeding at follow-up (OR=2.55 (1.81-3.61)), and use breastfeeding method at follow-up (OR=2.09 (1.44-3.02)). Conclusions Intermittent KMC was associated with a nearly doubled increase in exclusive breast milk feeding (outcome) and breastfeeding (method) at both discharge and 42 days after discharge for late preterm infants. This is especially important in China where exclusive breastfeeding rates are low, intermittent KMC provides a feasible means to increase the likelihood of these vulnerable infants receiving the benefits of exclusive breastmilk.

Background: The World Health Organization and the United Nations International Children’s Fund recommend mothers to exclusively breastfeed their infants for the first six months of their life that should be initiated within the first hour after birth. Methods: This cross-sectional study included currently employed Saudi working mothers residing the Western region of Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed through email and social media. Each person meeting the inclusion criteria was provided informed consent, explaining the study aim, and ensuring the confidentiality of information. Data were obtained by filling out the designed Questionnaire. Result: This study included 692 working Saudi mothers. The frequency of exclusive breast feeding was 40.2%, which was continued by 29.8% only after returning to the work. Insufficient breast milk secretion (17.5%) and the lack or minimal support from the workplace for EBF (6.6%) were commonly stated by the mothers. There were great deficiencies in the breastfeeding friendly work policies including the absence of breast feeding or breast milk-pumping place (86.4%), absence of breastfeeding hours during work time (80.9%), and the presence of a strict full-time schedule that did not allow freely use of the nursing break. Conclusion: The present study shows low prevalence of exclusive breast feeding among working mothers in the Western region of Saudi Arabia. Multiple barriers to continuing breast feeding have been detected. Insufficient breast milk secretion and the lack of breastfeeding friendly work policies were common reasons.
