determinants of suboptimal Breastfeeding Practice in debre berhan town ethiopia a cross sectional study
International Breastfeeding Journal, 2016Co-Authors: Teklemariam Gultie, Girum SebsibieAbstract:Background Optimal Breastfeeding is inextricably linked to the achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, reducing child mortality and improving maternal health. Breastfeeding is safe, promotes sensory and cognitive development and contains antibodies that protect infants from common childhood illnesses. The objective of this study was to assess suboptimal Breastfeeding and its determinants factors among mothers who have children below 23 months old in Debre Berhan, Ethiopia.

level of exclusive Breastfeeding Practice in remote and pastoralist community aysaita woreda afar ethiopia
International Breastfeeding Journal, 2019Co-Authors: Medhin Tsegaye, Dessaleg Ajema, Solomon Shiferaw, Robel YirguAbstract:In Afar, a pastoralist and remote area of Ethiopia, one in five children suffers from acute malnutrition. Investigation of the prevalence and associated factors of exclusive Breastfeeding may provide insight into the current burden and nature of the problem, and offer help on how to direct prevention strategies. The aim of this study was to measure the prevalence and identify associated factors of exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF) Practice in Afar, Ethiopia. A community based cross-sectional study was conducted with qualitative inquiry from March to April 2015. Quantitative data were collected from 631 mother-infant pairs residing in Aysaita woreda with a pretested structured questionnaire using the modified expanded program on immunization cluster sampling procedure. Seven clusters were selected using probability proportional to size. The qualitative data were generated through two focus group discussions among purposely selected discussants: one group of eight health professionals and another group of mothers, fathers and traditional birth attendants (n = 10). Bivariate and multivariable analysis was done using binary logistic regression model while thematic framework analysis was employed for the qualitative data. The prevalence of EBF under six months of age was 340/618 (55%). Infants whose mothers resided in an urban area [Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) 5.7; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 3.5, 9.2), were knowledgeable about Breastfeeding (AOR: 2.3; 95% CI 1.6, 3.5) and delivered at health facilities (AOR: 1.7; 95% CI 1.1, 2.7), were more likely to be exclusively breastfed than the referent group. In addition, mothers had a poor understanding of what constitutes exclusive Breastfeeding. Traditional beliefs, myths and misconceptions about EBF and lack of support from husband and family were found to be barriers for proper EBF Practice. The prevalence of EBF did not meet the World Health Organization recommendations. Factors related to infrastructure, service delivery, health education packages and traditional beliefs were associated with EBF Practice.

exclusive Breastfeeding Practice in ethiopia and its association with antenatal care and institutional delivery a systematic review and meta analysis
International Breastfeeding Journal, 2018Co-Authors: Animut Alebel, Cheru Tesma, Belisty Temesgen, Aster Ferede, Getiye Dejenu KibretAbstract:Despite the World Health Organization recommendation of exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF) for the first six months of life, the rate remains low both in developed and developing countries. In Ethiopia, findings regarding the prevalence of EBF have been highly variable. Antenatal care and institutional delivery are the most important factors contributing to the Practice of EBF however; their effect has not been investigated in Ethiopia. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, international databases were systematically searched. All observational studies reporting the prevalence of EBF and its association with antenatal care and institutional delivery in Ethiopia were considered. Two authors independently extracted all necessary data using a standardized data extraction format. A random effects meta-analysis model was computed to estimate the pooled prevalence of exclusive Breastfeeding. Moreover, the association of antenatal care and institutional delivery with EBF was determined. After reviewing 619 studies, 32 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of EBF in Ethiopia was 59.3% (95% Confidence Interval [CI] 53.8, 64.8). The subgroup analysis indicated that the highest prevalence was observed in Afar region (65.6%), followed by SNNP (63.8%), and then by Oromia (61.8%). Additionally, mothers who attended antenatal visits were 2.1 times more likely to Practice EBF compared to their counterparts (Odds Ratio [OR] 2.1; 95% CI 1.5, 2.8). Moreover, mothers who gave birth at a health institution were 2.2 times more likely to Practice EBF compared to mothers who gave birth at home (OR 2.2; 95% CI 1.3, 3.5). Exclusive Breastfeeding in Ethiopia was significantly lower than the global recommendations. There was evidence that mothers who attended antenatal visits and who gave birth at health institutions had better EBF Practices. Based on our findings, we strongly recommended that the utilization of antenatal care and institutional delivery should be improved through health extension workers.
