“…This finding agreed with the findings of other researchers [24, 25] showing that malnutrition is indeed a teething public health problem among under-fives. The prevalence of underweight, wasting and stunting in this study was higher than the prevalence of underweight (25%), wasting (9.4%) and stunting (19.2%) among under-fives in a study in Bangladesh [26]. The prevalence reported in the present study was low compared to the prevalence of underweight (33.3%), wasting (26.4%) and stunting (24.6%) reported in a previous study [24].…”

Objective There have been many studies on the nutritional status of under-fives and factors responsible but very few looks at this special group of women. This study assessed the breastfeeding practices of teenage mothers and determined its association with the nutritional indices of their under-five children. The study was a descriptive cross-sectional survey. A total of 300 mother–child pair was selected using a multi-stage sampling technique from Primary Health Care centres in Ondo West Local Government Area, Ondo State, Nigeria. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression were done to identify predictors’ of poor nutritional status at p < 0.05. Results About 87% initiated breastfeeding less than 1 h after birth while 31.9% breastfed their children exclusively for 6 months. Prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight among the under-fives were 18.6%, 25.3%, and 29.5% respectively. Initiation of breastfeeding more than 1 h after birth increased the odds of stunting (OR = 9.551, CI = 1.279–16.310) and underweight (OR = 6.674, CI = 3.159–14.097) by about 10 and 7 times respectively. Whereas odds of wasting (OR = 2.346, CI = 1.228–4.480) was 2 times higher with breastfeeding duration less than 6 months. Therefore, education of teenage mothers on breastfeeding initiation and duration is vital in reducing malnutrition among under-fives.

A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted among 599 mothers who had at least one child aged 0–23-month to determine infant and young child feeding practice (IYCF) in rural areas of Bangladesh. The study was conducted between November 2019 and March 2020 in rural areas of Gazipur district. A pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Out of 599 respondents, the majority (62.93%) were in the 21-30 years age-group. Only 6.67% were illiterate and the rest of the respondents were literate with different levels of education. About one third (33.38%) of the respondents had monthly income between BDT 5001- 15000. 27% of the mothers could not give colostrum to the babies; half of them (50%) mentioned that baby could not suck well, while 43.83% mentioned being advised by the elders (not to give colostrum) and 6.17% mentioned their own illness. Pre-lacteal feeding practice was observed among 27% mothers and common pre-lacteal food was honey (61.25%), sugar water (35.63%) and animal milk (4.32%). Breastfeeding was initiated within the first hour of birth among 73.29% of mothers. 53.26% percent of mothers practice exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). Difficulties faced by mothers for EBF are insufficient secretion of breast milk (46.42%), not having knowledge about EBF (42.51%), and mother’s illness (11.07%). Most of the mothers (81.63%) gave complementary feeding in the correct time (6 months) and predominant complementary food was Khichuri (51.91%); however, most of them (60.77%) gave complementary food ≤3 times in a day. Our data suggests that the practice of IYCF was not optimum among the rural mothers. To improve this condition, it is necessary to motivate mothers through proper health education about the positive impacts of IYCF on child health. CBMJ 2024 January: vol. 13 no. 01 P: 28-34

“…Meanwhile, the use of pre-lacteal feeds rather than colostrums has been reported to higher at community level in Bangladesh especially in infants born at home1 On the contrary, another study in Bangladesh revealed regarding feeding status most 284(88.8%) of respondents got colostrums. 14 However, trend of giving colostrums reached a tremendous condition that is 96.5% (330/342) a study done in Dhaka slum in Bangladesh. 15…”

Background: Colostrums feeding status was still poor in Bangladesh due to ignorance of family members. Thereafter growth faltering is a commonly observed phenomenon in developing countries after about 3months of age. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess colostrums feeding status in selected rural area. Methods: It was a cross sectional observational study. A total of 400subjects were estimated and mothers having child aged between 0-6months of age were included in the study purposively. A pretested questionnaire was used to collect data. Results: The mean (±SD) age of the respondents was 24.4years. Majority (63%) of the mothers had given colostrums to their child and 37% refused it. About 66.1% mothers whose had first baby practiced colostrums more than being second time mother also had statistically significant association (p<0.05). Majority 69.4% of mothers took health care services from public hospital given colostrums more than the mothers taken from private hospital and 73.7% non Muslims mothers practiced colostrums. Those variables had an association with colostrums feeding (p<0.05). Conclusion: Tradition with cultural belief among mothers and elder family members has an impact on colostrums feeding as well as maintenance of optimal breastfeeding practices.
