Background. Undernutrition is one of the most widespread public health problems that affect both developed and developing countries. In Ethiopia, it is one of the factors leading to unacceptable high morbidity and mortality among women. However, little is documented on undernutrition among lactating women particularly in such a purely pastoral community. Therefore, this study was designed to assess prevalence of undernutrition and its associated factors among lactating women living in pastoral community of Moyale District, Borena Zone, Southern Ethiopia, 2018. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted. Data were collected from a random sampled 545 lactating women using structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. Height and weight measurements of the study participants were also taken to compute body mass index. Data were entered in to Epi info version 7 and then exported to SPSS version 21 software for analysis. Descriptive statistics like frequency, mean, and percentage were computed to describe characteristics of the sample. Multivariable analysis was carried out, association between independent and dependent variables were measured using adjusted odds ratios, and its 95% confidence interval and P value below 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results. This study showed that prevalence of undernutrition among lactating women was 17.7%. Dietary diversity (AOR = 2.49, 95% CI: 1.43–4.36), monthly income (AOR = 5.22, 95% CI: 1.40–19.40), extra meal taking (AOR = 2.76, 95% CI: 1.43–5.29, delivery place (AOR = 2.65, 95% CI: 1.24–5.65), and household food insecurity (AOR = 6.57, 95% CI: 3.50–12.34) were independent variables showing statistically significant association with undernutrition of lactating women. Conclusion and recommendations. The study revealed that magnitude of undernutrition among lactating women was high. Dietary diversity, monthly income, extra meal, delivery place, and household food insecurity were found to be predictor of undernutrition. Finally, we recommend that governmental and nongovernmental organizations should organize timely interventions targeting lactating women.

Background: Intra natal care means care taken during delivery. This consists of taking care of not only the mother but also the newborn at the time of child-birth. Appropriate delivery care is crucial for both maternal and perinatal health. Increasing skilled attendance at birth is a central goal of the safe motherhood and child survival mission. Postpartum care aimed at complication-free puerperium and a healthy baby. There is a high risk of mortality for both the mother and her baby in the immediate period around birth. High quality intranatal and postnatal care is the important way to reduce the maternal morbidity and mortality. Utilization of intranatal and postnatal services is poor in the rural areas, which ultimately lead to increased maternal & child morbidity and mortality.Methods: The study was carried out among married women of reproductive age group. Pre-designed and pretested Performa was used to obtain the information from participants. It was community based cross - sectional study. All the collected data were analysed by applying appropriate statistical tests. The data were analysed by statistical package for social sciences (SPSS).Results: A total of 353 women were included in the study. Majority (86.97%) of women utilized health facility either government or private for their deliveries. Significant difference was observed between literacy status as well as socio economic class and utilization of institutional facility for the place of delivery. More than half women i.e. nearly 56% had not availed postnatal care services.Conclusions: Percentage of institutional deliveries as well as deliveries attended by skilled birth attendant was quite better. The most common reason for not availing the intra natal and postnatal services was found to be lack of knowledge regarding importance of these services on the outcome of delivery.
