Key Points

  • The study highlights that 77% of mothers practice exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 0-6 months, indicating a strong adherence to breastfeeding guidelines.
  • Nutritional patterns for children aged 6 months to 2 years were similarly high, with 76.6% of mothers reported using complementary feeding correctly.
  • Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, 201 mothers participated, providing data through a validated questionnaire, analyzed with SPSS software.
  • These findings support the need for continued education and promotion of breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices among mothers.
