BackgroundWorld Health Organization (WHO) recommends timely initiation of breastfeeding after birth and only feeding breast milk to infants during the first 6 months of life. It was estimated that exclusive breastfeeding can reduce infant deaths by 13%. The practice of exclusive breastfeeding is suboptimal in many parts of Ethiopia to a varied extent. Factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding practice and the proportion of its practice was not well documented in Offa district. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months of life in Offa district, Southern Ethiopia.MethodsA community-based cross-sectional study was carried out in 396 mothers of infants younger than 6 months using random sampling. Data were collected from mothers of the infants by trained interviewers. Exclusive breastfeeding was measured by the history of infant feeding in the prior 24 h. Pretested and structured questionnaires adopted from standard questionnaires and Ethiopia linkages modules were used. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors significantly influencing exclusive breastfeeding practice.ResultsBased on findings of this study of 396 participants, the proportion of exclusive breastfeeding was 78.0% and awareness of exclusive breastfeeding and bottle feeding were 85.6 and 6.1% respectively. About 6% of infants were given prelacteal feeds. The number of infants fed cow milk was 12.9%, formula 7.8%, water 8.5%, fruits and semisolids 1.5%, over 24 h prior to the survey. The initiation of breastfeeding within one h (AOR 2.2; 95% CI 1.1, 4.27), attending formal education (AOR 4; 95% CI 2.20, 7.25), having an awareness on the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding (AOR 6; 95% CI 3.10, 11.70) and knowledge of colostrum feeding (AOR 2.1; 95% CI 1.11, 4.27) had a statistically significant association with exclusive breastfeeding in the study area.ConclusionsThe practice of exclusive breastfeeding as well as awareness was worthy in Offa district. Additionally the proportion of bottle feeding use was small. However, feeding other than breast milk was associated with the perception that breast milk alone was insufficient for their child. Strategies on promoting exclusive breastfeeding practice must focus on strengthening women’s education and awareness creation activities further.

“…Study showed that the prevalence of EBF in Brazil 4% , Bangladesh 16%, Rwanda 38%, Saudi Arabia 8.3 %, Congo 2.8 %, of infants were exclusively breastfed [14][15][16][17]. In Ethiopia the range of prevalence of EBF less than six months were 24.4 % -81.1% [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Currently, the Health Sector Transformation Plan Two (HSPII) has set a target to increase exclusive breastfeeding from 52% to 72% in Ethiopia by the end of 2020 [30].…”

Therefore the main objective of this study was to assess prevalence of exclusive breast feeding practice and associated factors among under sixmonth-old children selected Woreda South Nation Nationality of People Regional State, Ethiopia, 2016. Methods:A community-based cross sectional study was conducted in Feb 19/ 2016-march 20/2016. A total of 421 mothers were randomly selected. Semi-structured and pretested questionnaires were administered to collect data. One day training was given for data collectors and supervisors. The collected data was entered in to Epi info version7, cleaned and transported to SPSS windows version 20 then analyzed. The crude and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) together with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals was computed. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was computed to identify factors associated EBF. A P-value <0.05 were considered to declare a result as statistically significant in this study. Results:In this study, prevalence of exclusive breast feeding in the study area was 64. Conclusion:In this study, the prevalence of exclusive breast feeding practice was lower than that of the previous Ethiopian health sector development plan fourth achievement of, 70%, next five years health sector transformation plan two targeted for, 72% by the end of 2020 and WHO recommendation, 90% [10].
