Overview

This study examined the prevalence and correlates of early breastfeeding and prelacteal feeding in twelve districts of Sindh, Pakistan. The prevalence of early breastfeeding initiation was 68% and prelacteal feeding was 32%. The odds of early breastfeeding initiation were higher in mothers who received proper guidance or had skin-to-skin contact at birth. Prelacteal feeding was less likely in mothers who received adequate treatment or had postpartum health checks. The study concludes that early breastfeeding initiation is crucial and that communities must be educated against the use of prelacteal feeding.
