“…The current study revealed that colostrum was discarded by 8.8 % of premiparious mothers. The nding is comparable with previous studies in Ethiopia (EDHS-2016) (8%) [14], Tigray, Ethiopia (6.3% & 15%) [11,16], Indonesia (6.2%), [8], Kombolcha town, Ethiopia(11.4%) [17] and Afar regional state, Ethiopia (15.6%) [18]. However, the nding is far more lower than the ndings of previous studies conducted in Debre Birhan, Ethiopia(20%) [12], Bangladesh (37%) [30], rural northern Ethiopia (63%) [3], India (92%) [9], India(76%) [7], and (76.9%) [13] in Afar, Ethiopia.…”

“…A study conducted in Indonesia among primigavida mothers revealed 93% of the participants gave colostrum to their new born babies. However, most participants (56%) did not have su cient information about optimal breastfeeding [8]. Another, study conducted in Punjab province, Pakistan has reported more than two-third (67%) of primigavida mothers threw off colostrum and offered prelacteal foods to their new born babies [20].…”

“…Evidence from all over the world revealed that neonatal and postnatal deaths were found to be decreased among infants who fed colostrum [7]. However, colostrum avoidance which includes delayed initiation of breast-feeding; pumping and discarding colostrum, and/or wet nursing [3,6] has been reported across the globe various places such as Indonesia [8], Egypt [6], India [9,10] , Ethiopia [3,[11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Background: Breast milk is the ideal and complete form of nutrition for infants colostrum contains all the necessary nutrients for infants’ growth and development and antibodies that can protect from many childhood illnesses. Understanding the extent of and barriers to colostrum avoidance in Ethiopia is important for learning how to best improve optimal breastfeeding. No single study has been conducted on primigavida mothers in the country. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the rate of colostrum avoidance practice and associated factors among primigavida mothers Method: A community- based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to April 2016 among (n=398) randomly selected primigavida mothers in Bahir Dar city, northwest Ethiopia. Data were collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version25. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were carried out. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to measure the strength of association. Statistical significance was declared at P-value ≤0.05.Results: Out of 398 primipara mothers, 8.8% discarded colostrum. The most common reasons for discarding colostrum were; yellow and creamy (39.2%), bad for infant (35.2%), traditional/cultural reason (17.1%) and infant unable to feed (8.5%).Married mothers (OR=4.52, p<0.05), employed mothers (OR=3.46, p<0.05), mothers underwent normal delivery (OR=5.20, p<0.05) and mothers who initiated breastfeeding within 1 hr. (OR=2.79, p=0.05) were less likely to discard colostrum.Conclusion: The current study revealed that colostrum was discarded by 8.8 % of premiparious mothers. Primipara mothers who were married, unemployed, underwent normal delivery and initiated breastfeeding within one hour were less likely to discard colostrum. These results suggest that multi-sectorial and multi-disciplinary approaches are needed to increase optimal breastfeeding among premiparious mothers.

“…[ 8 ] Similarly, research finding concluded that educating breastfeeding mothers, especially after 1 week of postnatal significantly increases the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of mothers in giving exclusive breastfeeding; and the education program was performed through home visits, flipcharts, and breastfeeding diaries.

“…Prelacteal feeds are any foods or drinks other than human milk given to newborns before breastfeeding initiation or milk comes in, usually within three days postpartum (Chea and Asefa, 2018). It turned out that low or no milk production and perceived insuffi cient milk have become common reasons for pre-lacteal feeding (Nandini et al, 2017;Odom et al, 2013;Robert et al, 2014). To help overcome this problem, besides nonpharmacological interventions, natural galactagogue consumption is highly recommended (Brodribb, 2018) to improve milk production.…”

Human milk is the gold standard for infant nutrition during the first six months of life. According to Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey in 2017, about 45% of mothers in Indonesia provided pre-lacteal feeding within three days postpartum. Low or no milk production and perceived insufficient milk for the infants need were common reasons for pre-lacteal feeding. Galactagogues are believed to help augment human milk production. Therefore, galactagogue consumption is highly recommended, especially natural galactagogue, to help overcome low milk production problem. Most natural galactagogues are used as a local tradition only. Scientific studies regarding the phytochemical compounds and the mechanisms involved are still very limited. This narrative review aimed to describe selected research articles reporting the potency of torbangun, katuk, kelor, and papaya leaves as known plants acting as natural galactagogues in Indonesia. A total of 22 original research articles from Indonesia written in Indonesian or English over a 20 years period were included in this review. Studies were selected if selected natural galactagogues were evaluated at least for the proposed mechanism of action and effects. The data have shown strong evidence about the positive effect of torbangun, katuk, kelor, and papaya leaves as natural galactagogues on increasing human milk production. The five leaves contain different phytoestrogens that have an estrogen effect to stimulate prolactin production and increase milk production.
