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).

Study Population

Fathers participate in choosing the feeding method for their newborns. However they traditionally have not been included in most breast-feeding education programs. To examine expectant fathers' attitudes and knowledge regarding breast-feeding, we surveyed 268 men during the first session of their Childbirth education classes at five private hospitals in Houston, Texas. The study population was 81% white, 8% black, and 6% hispanic. Ninety-seven percent (n = 259) of the total were married. Fifty-eight percent (n = 156) reported that their spouses planned to breast-feed exclusively; several signficant differences existed between these men and those who reported plans for exclusive formula feeding. The breast-feeding group was more likely to believe breast-feeding is better for the baby (96% vs 62%; P &lt; .0001), helps with infant bonding (92% vs 53%; P &lt; .0001), and protects the infant from disease (79% vs 47% P &lt; .001). The breast-feeding group was also more likely to want their partner to breast-feed (90% vs 13%; P &lt; .0001) and to have respect for breast-feeding women (57% vs 16%; P &lt; .0001). Conversely, those in the formula feeding group were more likely to think breast-feeding is bad for breasts (52% vs 22%; P &lt; .01), makes breasts ugly (44% vs 23%; P &lt; .05), and interferes with sex (72% vs 24%; P &lt; .0001). The majority of both groups indicated breast-feeding was not acceptable in public (breast-feeding = 71%, formula feeding = 78%, P &lt; .05). These data demonstrate misperceptions and a lack of education regarding breast-feeding in the formula feeding group and a lack of public acceptance in both groups. We conclude that fathers must be included in breast-feeding education programs. Confrontation of myths and misperceptions prenatally may help to overcome obstacles to the initiation of breast-feeding and to provide greater familial support for nursing mothers.

A nonprofit voluntary community hospital, the Hunterdon Medical Center, has made a commitment to encourage breast-feeding among employees. In support of this commitment, arrangements were made for time off during the work day for nursing mothers to pump their breasts. An electric breast pump in a suitably accessible location and supportive professional advice were offered. Among those who chose to nurse their babies, it was found that mothers nursed for longer times and were more likely to continue nursing after return to employment when this program was available.

Objectives: This study was aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude of primipara mothers regarding breast feeding. Methodology: quantitative non experimental - descriptive research design was adopted. The study was conducted in MES medical college hospital with the sample size of 50 primipara mothers by using non probability- purposive sampling technique. Results: The knowledge score of primipara mothers regarding breast feeding were 4 (8.0%) had inadequate knowledge, 35 (70%) had average knowledge, 11 (22%) had adequate knowledge. The attitude score of the primipara mothers regarding breast feeding reveals that 2 (4.0%) had neutral attitude, 48 (96%) had positive attitude towards breast feeding. Correlation of knowledge and attitude of primipara mothers regarding breast feeding represents that mean knowledge and attitude score of primipara mothers regarding breast feeding was 14.3 and 48.74 respectively. Correlation coefficient(r) value is 0.041, which indicates statistically non significant. find the association between the knowledge and attitude with selected demographic data illutrates that there is a significant association of knowledge score with their type of family (p <0.05) and there is no significant association of knowledge score with the age, education, occupation, religion, residence, age at marriage, sex of the baby, previous knowledge on breast feeding ( p > 0.05). there is no significant association of attitude score with the with demographic data ( p >0.10). conclusion: This study was identified that 70% of the primipara mothers had average knowledge and 96% had positive attitude towards breast feeding. It implies that majority of the primipara mothers was received previous information regarding breast feeding in this study had a major role to enhance the knowledge and attitude of primipara mothers regarding breast feeeding.

Newborn Child

Many mothers in low-income countries, particularly in rural areas, nurse their children for 1–2 years on the average. The main purpose of this practice is, of course, to provide the newborn child with the nutrition necessary for its survival. Prolonged breast-feeding, however, also has a birth-spacing effect and postpones the next pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and by delaying resumption of the menstrual cycle. Suckling of the infant is important for this suppression of the menstrual cycle because it leads to the release of prolactin, which not only plays an important role in milk production but also inhibits the release of gonadotrophins which initiate resumption of the menstrual cycle. For further details about these endocrinological aspects of lactation see, for example, Rolland et al. (1975); Thomson, Hytten & Black (1975) and Buchanan (1975).

Enterotoxin B

SummaryMilk samples from 251 nursing mothers were screened for enterotoxigenic staphylococci. The incidence of staphylococci in milk samples was 71·3%. Two hundred and sixteen strains were isolated from 179 mothers. Eighty-six (39·8%) of the 216 strains were found to be toxigenic. Enterotoxin type A (SEA) predominated, with 41 strains (19·0%) elaborating it. Twenty-one strains (9·7%) produced enterotoxin B (SEB) while only eight (3·7%) produced enterotoxin C (SEC). Ten strains (4·6 %) produced all three types. Enterotoxigenic strains usually produced coagulase, thermonuclease and alpha haemolysin.In this series breast-feeding alone was more common than combined breast and bottle feeding, especially among mothers less than 30 years old. The incidence of reported infantile diarrhoea decreased with increasing age of the mother. Of 16 babies with diarrhoea, 10 (62·5%) had mothers whose milk yielded staphylococci. Six of these were toxigenic. Although no direct relationship between enterotoxigenic staphylococci in the milk of nursing mothers and infantile diarrhoea could be demonstrated, these findings reveal a potential health risk to these infants.

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.
