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. Key words: breast milk, exclusive breastfeeding, Hoi An

The purpose of the present study was: a) to describe the theme of verbalizations about breastfeeding in mothers' pre-term (M-PT) and full-term (M-FT) infants; b) to examine the association between these themes and mother's anxiety and depression indicators and socio-demographic characteristics and, neonatal characteristics of the infants. The sample consisted of 50 M-PT and 25 M-FT. The mothers were assessed through State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory and were interviewed using a Guide focusing breastfeeding issues. The M-PT group had significantly more mothers with clinical symptom of anxiety than the M-FT group. The M-PT reported more uncertainties and worries about breastfeeding and figured out more obstacles for the successful breastfeeding than the M-FT. These reports were associated positively with the infants' risk neonatal status; lower birth-weight, higher neonatal clinical risk, and more length time stay in NICU were associated with more mothers' worries and seeing obstacles for breastfeeding. In conclusion, the strategies to enhance the breastfeeding rate in the preterm population have to take into account the mothers' psychological status and their ideas in addition to offering information about the advantages of breastfeeding for child development.

Purpose This study aimed to determine the effect of the implementation of the antenatal class toward exclusive breastfeeding.Methods The research was a case-control study with a quantitative approach. This research was also supported by a qualitative approach which aimed to complement and reinforce the results obtained from the quantitative data. Sample cases were 135 exclusive breastfeeding infants aged 6-12 months, and the control sample were 135 not exclusive breastfeeding infants aged 6-12 month. Data analysis used the McNemar and conditional logistic regression tests with significance level of p = <0.05 and 95% confidence interval.Results Bivariate analysis showed that antenatal class affected exclusive breastfeeding p = 0.026 and OR = 1.80 (95% CI: 1.03 to 3.24). In the results of multivariate analysis after controlling by including support of her husband and the ANC p = 0.03 and OR = 1.86 (95% CI: 1.05 to 3.30). Mothers who attended antenatal class have exclusive breastfeeding rate 1.86 times higher compared to mothers who did not attend the antenatal class.Conclusion The antenatal class can directly affect exclusive breastfeeding, in spite of controlling the support of her husband and the ANC.

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.

Abstrak: Data Riskesdas tahun 2018 menyatakan bahwa pada bayi umur 0-5 bulan di Indonesia, proporsi pola pemberian ASI sebanyak 37,3% ASI ekslusif, sedangkan pada ASI parsial dan ASI predominan masing-masing sebesar 9,3%, dan 3,3%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa angka ASI eksklusif kita masih tergolong rendah. Perawatan payudara adalah faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap keberhasilan proses menyusui pada ibu nifas, selain faktor lainnya. Penelitian sebelumnya mengungkapkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara perawatan payudara dengan keberhasilan proses menyusui dengan p-value sebesar 0,007. Tujuan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah memberi edukasi kepada masyarakat khususnya ibu nifas untuk dapat melakukan perawatan payudara pada masa nifasnya sehingga bisa mendukung program ASI eksklusif. Metode pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan melalui ceramah dan simulasi perawatan payudara. Pendidikan kesehatan dilakukan oleh dosen dan mahasiswa STIKes Widya Dharma Husada Tangerang. Kegiatan bertempat di Posyandu Dewi Sri Pamulang Kota tangerang Selatan. Pelaksanaannya pada saat kegiatan posyandu lalu disertakan pendidikan kesehatan dengan tema perawatan payudara pada ibu nifas. Peserta kegiatan sebanyak 15 orang ibu nifas. Terdapat antusiasme warga saat kegiatan berlangsung. Dampak kegiatan ini peserta mengetahui cara melakukan perawatan pada payudara sehingga sangat bermanfaat dalam proses menyusuinya. Harapan selanjutnya adalah kader posyandu juga dapat terus memberikan pendidikan kesehatan mengenai perawatan payudara pada ibu nifas yang belum memahami bagaimana merawat payudara selama proses menyusui.Abstract: Riskesdas data for 2018 states that in infants aged 0-5 months in Indonesia, the proportion of breastfeeding patterns is 37,3% exclusive breastfeeding, while partial breastfeeding and predominant breastfeedings are 9,3% and 3,3%, respectively. This shows that our exclusive breastfeeding rate is still low. Breast care is one of the factors that influence the success of the breastfeeding process in postpartum mothers and other factors. Previous research revealed a significant relationship between breast care and the success of the breastfeeding process with a p-value = 0,007. This community service aims to provide education to the community, especially postpartum mothers, to carry out breast care during the puerperium so that they can support the exclusive breastfeeding programs. Community service methods are carried out through lectures and simulations of breast care. Health education is carried out by lecturers and students of STIKes Widya Dharma Husada Tangerang. The activity took place at Posyandu Dewi Sri Pamulang, South Tangerang City. It was implemented during the posyandu activities and then included health education with breast care for postpartum mothers. Participants in the activity were about 15 mothers. There was enthusiasm from the residents when the activity took place. The impact of this activity, participants know how to do a treatment on the breast, so it is very beneficial in breastfeeding. The next hope is that posyandu cadres can also continue to provide health education on breast care to mothers who do not understand how to care for the breast during the breastfeeding process.

Abstract Background Breast milk is the ideal food to meet all nutrients needs for a baby’s healthy growth and development. The status of breastfeeding supportive services in Baby-Friendly Hospitals and their role in influencing mothers’ breastfeeding practice in Shanghai, China is less understood. The aim of this study was to explore the association between breastfeeding supportive services provided by Baby-Friendly Hospitals around childbirth and exclusive breastfeeding rate at discharge. Methods This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study, conducted in eight Baby-Friendly Hospitals in Shanghai between October 2015 and January 2017. The breastfeeding supportive services during hospitalization were assessed using a 12-question questionnaire based on the evaluation criteria of Baby-Friendly Hospitals. In total 707 mothers completed the survey. Results The overall exclusive breastfeeding rate among participants was 34.4% at discharge. Mothers who received more breastfeeding supportive services during hospitalization were more likely to practice exclusive breastfeeding at discharge compared with mothers who received less services (aOR: 3.00; 95% CI: 2.08, 4.35; p < 0.001). Conclusion Better breastfeeding supportive services during hospitalization was significantly associated with higher rate of exclusive breastfeeding at discharge. More effective measures should be adopted to improve the breastfeeding supportive services in line with the Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative’s Ten Steps to promote and support exclusive breastfeeding and better maternal and child health.

Background: Inadequate nutrition and poor feeding practices of newborn and infants has turn out to be a major public health concern that has negatively affected the lives of many children and as led to the cause of various forms of deficiencies, also the leading cause of death of most children between 1-5years of age. This study determined the effect of peer counselling on exclusive breastfeeding among mothers attending child welfare clinic in two selected general hospitals in Lagos State, Nigeria.Methods: This study adopted a two group pre-test post-test quasi experimental design. Total enumeration was used to select one hundred and seventy-four (174) participants that participated in the study. Data was collected using a self-developed questionnaire while four research questions were tested using descriptive statistics.Results: Findings indicated that the pre-intervention knowledge mean score of participants on the knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding in the control group was 15.43±4.98 (48.2%) and 14.69±5.16 (45.9%) in the experimental group with a mean difference of 0.74. The post-intervention knowledge mean score of participants on the exclusive breastfeeding in the control group was 15.58±4.83 (48.7%) and 28.97±8.31 (90.5%) in the experimental group with a mean difference of 13.39. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated a significant improvement in the exclusive breastfeeding rate among mothers due to peer counselling exposure, and the interventions have been effective in increasing knowledge and practice of breastfeeding among mothers. It was recommended that knowledge of peer counselling will influence knowledge, practice and behaviours on exclusive breastfeeding rate among mothers.
