Introduction: Breast feeding has no match as a nutritional resource during the first six months for an infant, necessary for the health of both mother and infant. In past, Pakistan had worst breast feeding rates and despite efforts to promote breast feeding, situation is not satisfactory. Aims & Objectives: Our aim was to determine the frequency of mothers having exclusive breast feeding practices and finding various factors which may affect trends of exclusive breast feeding practices, in rural areas of Lahore. Place and duration of study: This study was done during May 2018 to October 2018 at Chaudhary Muhammad Akram Teaching Hospital. Material & Methods: In this cross sectional study, 254 mothers were interviewed directly and predesigned questionnaire was filled, through non probability consecutive sampling. Data was analyzed using SPSS 20. Post stratification chi square test was applied. Results: Only 34.3 percent mothers were found to practice exclusive breast feed till 6 months of infant age, 93 percent mothers were of age<35 years, mean age 26.6 years and SD±4.9. Only 3.5% initiate breast feeding within an hour of birth. Chi square test revealed association between exclusive breast feed with insufficient breast milk, initiation time of breast feed and early cessation of breast feed (p<0.05). Conclusion: Declining rates of breast feeding creates an alarming situation and suggests to make more aggressive efforts for promotion of breast feeding the infants. Key words: breast feed, insufficient feed, prlecteal feed
在婴儿的头六个月里,母乳喂养是一种无可比拟的营养来源,对母亲和婴儿的健康都是必要的。过去,巴基斯坦的母乳喂养率是最低的,尽管努力促进母乳喂养,但情况并不令人满意。目的和目的:我们的目的是确定在拉合尔农村地区采用纯母乳喂养的母亲的频率,并找到可能影响纯母乳喂养趋势的各种因素。研究地点和时间:本研究于2018年5月至2018年10月在Chaudhary Muhammad Akram教学医院完成。材料与方法:采用非概率连续抽样的方法,对254名母亲进行直接访谈并填写预先设计的问卷。数据采用SPSS 20进行分析。采用分层后卡方检验。结果:仅34.3%的母亲实行纯母乳喂养至婴儿6个月,93%的母亲年龄<35岁,平均年龄26.6岁,SD±4.9。只有3.5%的婴儿在出生一小时内开始母乳喂养。卡方检验显示纯母乳喂养与母乳不足、开始母乳喂养时间和提前停止母乳喂养之间存在相关性(p<0.05)。结论:母乳喂养率的下降令人担忧,建议采取更积极的措施促进母乳喂养。关键词:母乳喂养,喂奶不足,母乳喂养
