Abstract

Exclusive breast feeding (EBF) plays a very vital role in maintaining the appropriate health and development of infants, as it helps in decreasing the risk for Otitis Media, Respiratory tract infection, Diarrhea, Early Childhood Obesity and many other metabolic diseases. There is a vicious cycle between exclusive breast feeding and prelacteal feeding. In Indian setup the practice of exclusive breast feeding is being followed but the initiation of breast feeding is still sub optimal as the Colostrum is generally being discarded due to superstitions, and various social and cultural beliefs The present study is a cross sectional study conducted amongst 400 women who were admitted at health Centers in three blocks of rural area of Lucknow district. SPSS 20 version was used to analyze the data and results were presented in the form of frequency and percentages. The Initiation of breastfeeding within one hour was significantly associated with the type of family (p=0.04), education of beneficiaries (0.009) and education of husband (0.002). The practice of Colostrum given was significantly associated only with education (p=0.04) of husband. The practice of pre-lacteal feed was significantly (p=0.008) associated with the caste of the beneficiaries. Keywords: Exclusive breast feeding, Pre lacteal feeding, colostrums
