“…Similarly, studies in Debre Tabor [15], Enderta [16], Motta [17], Guba [18], and Gondar town [19] showed that 70.8%, 70.2%, 50.1%, 71.3%, and 35.9% of the children, respectively, were breastfed exclusively. e salient factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding are maternal age, maternal level of education, maternal employment status, maternal knowledge, place of delivery, residence, culture, and household wealth status [11,12,15,17,19].

Background. Exclusive breastfeeding has an irrepressible benefit to a child. However, the practice is still low with salient factors in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess exclusive breastfeeding practice and normative beliefs among mothers who have children less than two years of age in Ethiopia, 2019. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample size of 423 in Ethiopia from March 12 to December 18, 2019. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Gender-matched six Focus Group Discussions were conducted. Semistructured guiding questions were used to carry out the discussion. The binary logistic regression model was used to determine the association between dependent and independent variables of the quantitative part. Results. The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding practice was 77.5% (95% CI: 73.5, 81.5%). Married mothers (AOR = 2.57; 95% CI: 1.68, 5.65), mothers with antenatal care follow-up (AOR = 4.11; 95% CI: 2.66, 11.17), mothers who delivered at a health institution (AOR = 4.07; 95% CI: 2.99, 10.72), and mothers counseled during antenatal care (AOR = 1.96; 95% CI: 1.12, 4.73) had a positive association, whereas mothers who were unable to read and write (AOR = 0.11; 95% CI: 0.06, 0.99) and employed mothers (AOR = 0.22; 95% CI: 0.16, 0.56) were the variables that had a negative association with exclusive breastfeeding practice. Conclusions. Although the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was good when compared with other studies, rigorous interventions are needed to achieve the WHO recommendation of all infants should exclusively be breastfed. Marital status, educational status, occupation, antenatal care service, place of birth, and counseling of mothers during ANC were factors associated with the exclusive breastfeeding practice.

“…Despite its need, the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in this study was not as satisfactory. However, it was higher compared to the Ethiopian demographic health survey (EDHS) 16 data (58%) (10), the global EBF estimate 35%, and in developing countries such as; Motta town, Ethiopia (17), Nigeria (20%), Brazil (58%), Bangladesh (34.5%) (1,4,11,19). In contrast, this result was comparable with the study in Addis Ababa (81%)(24), Ethiopian HSDP IV target level of 70% (25), and Debre Markos, Ethiopia 60.8% (21).…”
