Title

Increasing the Coverage of Breastfeeding within One Hour of Birth in Institutional Delivery – A Gap Analysis

Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding is the ideal source of nutrition for first six month of life which is globally recognised. There are various advantages of optimal breastfeeding but a still breastfeeding rate in Bihar is only 31 % within one hour of birth. This might be attributed to various social, cultural and economical factors. Since there is limited local data on the knowledge, attitudes and practices of women toward breastfeeding. Hence, we planned this study to assess knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of mothers regarding breastfeeding and influence of socio-demographic profile on them. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 350 mothers coming to the rural and urban areas of a district with infants between 0-6 months. The data was collected using a predesigned questionnaire based on KAP about breastfeeding. The data was analyzed using (SPSS) version 23.0. Results: Our study shows that regarding knowledge of breastfeeding, in rural group 41% considered Colostrum as first breast milk. In contrast in urban group, 64% were aware that it was first breast milk (p=0.001). Regarding practices, 58% of rural women had started breastfeeding within one hour while only 41% of urban women did the same (p=0.016). Regarding attitude, 79% women of urban area agreed regarding goodness of Colostrum for health followed by 47% of rural women (p≤0.00001). Most of the women agreed to the belief that a baby should burp after feeding (91% rural and 85% urban). Conclusions: The gap between KAP regarding breastfeeding exists in rural and urban setups. So, proper strategies should be planned depending on socio-demographic profile.
