Abstract

Back ground : Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) means that the infant receives only breast milk for the first six months of life after birth. In Bangladesh, 55% of children less than 6 months of age are exclusively breastfed according to BDHS 2014. Objectives : To assess the exclusive breast feeding practice and associated factors among children in an urban area ofBangladesh. Method : This cross-sectional study was conducted in Popular Medical College, Dhanmondi, Dhaka, among 80 mothers having infants aged 7-12 months, attending the outpatient department were selected purposively for the study during the period of 1st August 2017 to 31st December 2017. Sample were selected purpasively for the study and predesigned questionnaire were used for data collection. Data analysis was done by using SPSS software version 22. Result : It was found that only 30(37.5%) mother went for regular antenatal checkup and remaining 50 (62.5%) had irregular antenatal check up. But none of them got breastfeeding advice during antenatal visit. Breastfeeding was initiated with in 1 hour of birth in 36(40%) cases and 44 (60%) cases after 1hour of birth. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF)was found in 40 (50%) children. Among them 30 (75%) were children of housewife mothers. Mixed feeding (breast milk plus formula/ cow’s milk) was given to 30 children among them18 (60%) were the children of housewife mothers.Only formula milk was given to 10 children of them 8(80%) were the children of housewife mothers.Exclusive breast milk was not given by 18(45%) mothers due to job or other occupation whereas 22 (55%) mother did not give EBF due to insufficient breast milk. Conclusion : In the study rate of exclusive breast feeding was 50%. This study also showed that frequency of exclusive breast feeding practice was lower in working mothers than housewife mothers. This study also showed that the speculation of not getting sufficient milk was one of the main reasons for not giving exclusive breastfeeding.

孟加拉国某三级医院母亲纯母乳喂养实践及相关因素研究

背景:纯母乳喂养(EBF)是指婴儿在出生后的头六个月只接受母乳。根据《2014年儿童健康调查》，在孟加拉国，55%的6个月以下儿童接受纯母乳喂养。目的:评估孟加拉国城市地区儿童的纯母乳喂养做法及其相关因素。方法:本横断面研究在达卡Dhanmondi的Popular Medical College进行，有目的地选择2017年8月1日至2017年12月31日在门诊部就诊的80名7-12个月婴儿的母亲进行研究。本研究有目的地选取样本，采用预先设计的问卷进行数据收集。采用SPSS软件22进行数据分析。结果:仅有30例(37.5%)产妇定期进行产前检查，其余50例(62.5%)产妇不定期进行产前检查。但在产前检查期间，没有人得到母乳喂养的建议。36例(40%)在出生1小时内开始母乳喂养，44例(60%)在出生1小时后开始母乳喂养。40名(50%)儿童发现纯母乳喂养(EBF)。其中30人(75%)是家庭主妇的子女。对30名儿童进行了混合喂养(母乳加配方奶/牛奶)，其中18名(60%)是家庭主妇母亲的孩子。只给10个孩子喂配方奶，其中8个(80%)是家庭主妇的孩子。18名(45%)母亲由于工作或其他职业而没有提供纯母乳，而22名(55%)母亲由于母乳不足而没有提供EBF。结论:本研究纯母乳喂养率为50%。这项研究还表明，职业母亲纯母乳喂养的频率低于家庭主妇母亲。这项研究还表明，没有得到足够的牛奶是不进行纯母乳喂养的主要原因之一。北方国际医学院学报Vol.10(1) july 2018: 343-346
