Overview

Mixed-methods study reveals unique factors affecting exclusive breastfeeding in mothers, suggesting policy improvements.

Key Points

  • Most mothers had high prenatal care adherence, yet inadequate breastfeeding counseling persisted, hindering success.
  • Higher maternal education linked to improved breastfeeding practices, while early formula use within 48 hours was a key barrier.
  • Qualitative analysis emphasized the importance of health team support during hospitalization in promoting exclusive breastfeeding.
  • Exclusive breastfeeding maintenance relied on sociodemographic factors, mode of delivery, and early skin-to-skin contact.
