Overview

Observational analysis reports exclusive breastfeeding duration in infants, indicating hospital practices significantly influence outcomes.

Key Points

  • Exclusive breastfeeding lasted less than six months for 63.5% of infants, while only 36.5% were exclusively breastfed at six months.
  • Bottle use and provision of human milk substitutes during the hospital stay were linked to shorter exclusive breastfeeding duration.
  • Cross-sectional study involving 326 mothers of infants aged 6 to 12 months collected data on feeding practices and maternal characteristics.
  • Strengthening maternity care policies supports improved adherence to breastfeeding recommendations.
