Background: Optimum postnatal care, exclusive breast feeding and vaccination are the most essential factors for the adequate growth and development of a child. Interventions to improve these can result in reduction in infant morbidity and mortality. The study was done to assess the knowledge level and attitude of antenatal mothers on postnatal care and immunisation.Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study done in a private medical college in Kerala conducted during September 1 to 31st 2018. All pregnant ladies attending the medical college hospital for antenatal check-up during the study period and willing to participate were included. Data collection was done by interviewing the participants using pretested and edited questionnaire and analysed by applying proportions.Results: The awareness about postnatal care and breast feeding was good among participants while lacking in a few aspects. Majority of them had the right knowledge about pre-lacteal feeds, colostrum and timing of initiation of breast feeding. But there was a gap between the knowledge they possessed and what they practised when it comes to vaccination.Conclusions: There is a need to educate antenatal mothers about various aspects of vaccination and postnatal care.

Feeding Profile

Background: Country wide data from National Family Health Survey-III (2005-2006) documented that only 24.5% mothers initiated breastfeeding within desired one hour after the birth and almost 45 percent did not start breastfeeding within one day of birth. As many as 57% women practiced prelacteal feeding, proportion of exclusively breastfed infants at 6 months of age was 46.4%. Methods: The proposed study included cross sectional study of socio-demographic features and breast feeding profile of mothers attending Urban Health Training Centre. 400 mothers of infants aged 6-12 months were interviewed using pretested semi-structured questionnaire. Details about the socio-demographic characteristics and breast feeding practices and knowledge about breast feeding were obtained. Then results were analyzed at the end of data collection. Results: In the present study, out of 400 mothers, 41.25% mothers practice exclusive breast feeding. The knowledge of mothers about the breast feeding, among this knowledge regarding time of initiation of breast feeding after normal delivery and caesarean section was maximum i.e. 93.25%, followed by 57.25% mothers having knowledge regarding duration of exclusive breast feeding. The mothers having minimum knowledge was regarding continuation of breast feeding i.e. 40.25%. Conclusions: This study throws light on the mothers knowledge about breast feeding and what they actually practice. Breastfeeding practices like exclusive breast feeding, prelacteal feeding was less than the national average.
