“…However, since the immunization coverage is high and the majority of the children in Nepal are brought to immunization clinics by their mothers, the selection bias is likely to be limited. 18 , 21 There may also be social desirability bias while reporting the answers for decision making and receiving husbands’ support. We tried to overcome this by taking data from women alone in a secure place.…”

“…17 As the majority of the children in Nepal are taken to the immunization clinic by their mother, the immunization clinic was considered a study setting for this study. 12 , 18 There are 42 government-run immunization clinics in Lalitpur district. 16 These are static clinics located within the government-run health facility and are run by the health facility staffs.…”

Background Sociocultural factors remain an important determinant for women's involvement with decision making and getting husbands’ support for their reproductive healthcare. Therefore this study was conducted to examine sociodemographic factors associated with women's involvement in decision making and getting husbands’ support for their reproductive healthcare. Methods An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Lalitpur, Nepal. A total of 600 respondents were selected from 15 immunization clinics. Participants were women ≥18 y of age who came to the child's immunization clinic. The association between sociodemographic variables and women's involvement in decision making and getting husbands’ support for their reproductive healthcare was analysed through multivariate logistic regression models. Results While women's involvement in decision making was greater for childcare, it was less in the area related to financial matters. In contrast, husbands supported more in the area related to finances than for childcare and accompanying to health facilities. The significant determinants for women's involvement in decision making and getting husbands’ support were the woman's caste, education level, employment status, household income, age group and number of children. Madhesi/Muslim/other women were less likely (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.31 [95% confidence interval {CI} 0.12 to 0.73]) to decide the number of babies and birth spacing. These women were also less likely (AOR 0.18 [95% CI 0.02 to 0.86]) to be accompanied by their husbands to the family planning (FP) clinic. Janajati, Dalit and Madhesi/Muslim/other women were less likely to receive their husbands’ support for birth preparedness. Women who were <20 y of age and had a single child were less likely to get involved in decision making and getting their husbands’ support for FP services. Conclusions The findings call for reproductive health programs that encourage women's involvement in decision making and receiving husbands’ support in women's reproductive healthcare. When designing such a program in the FP area, the woman's caste, age and parity should be given special consideration. Also, caste should be considered when designing such a program related to birth preparedness.

Objective The role of breast milk in the physical and mental health of infants and in the prevention of infant death is widely known. The benefits of breastfeeding for mothers and infants have been proven, but several factors can affect breastfeeding. Childbirth is one of the most influential factors. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the type of delivery (natural childbirth and cesarean section) on breastfeeding based on the latch, audible swallowing, type of nipple, comfort, hold (LATCH) scoring system. Methods The present cross-sectional observational study was performed using the census method among women who referred to Afzalipour Hospital for delivery in May 2020; the breastfeeding pattern was completed by observation and the in-case information, by LATCH checklist. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, United States) software, version 19.0, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the Chi-squared statistical test. Results Out of a total of 254 deliveries (127 natural childbirths and 127 cesarean deliveries), there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 study groups in terms of age, maternal employment status, and infant weight, but there was a statistically significant relationship between the type of delivery, the maternal level of schooling, and the appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration (Apgar) score in the first minute. The mean score of breastfeeding patterns among the natural childbirth group (9.33) was higher than that of the cesarean section group (7.21). Conclusion The type of delivery affects the mother's performance during breastfeeding, and mothers submitted to cesarean sections need more support and help in breastfeeding.

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is a public health priority globally. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the global prevalence of EBF during the first six months of life remains low particularly in low- and middle-income countries. In this systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis (MA) we examine the existing evidence of the pooled prevalence and determinants of EBF during the first 6 months of infants’ lives in North African (NA) countries. Methods: This SR and MA followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. International databases were systematically searched. Inclusion criteria included studies conducted among mothers in NA countries (Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Sudan) on breastfeeding prevalence. Meta-analyses were conducted using R (version 4.2.3). Results: 16 studies with a total of 7,849 participants were included in the analysis. The global pooled prevalence of EBF during the first six months in NA countries was 29.0% (CI95% [18.0; 42.0]) with heterogenous results (Tau2 = 1.41, I2 = 99%, p < 0.01). Tunisia had the lowest prevalence of EBF (11%) while Sudan (63%) and Morocco (48%) had the highest. The prevalence of EBF until the first six months of life (among infants aged at least 6 months) was 30.0% (CI95% [14.0; 52.0]). Barriers to EBF practice were examined, including mother's educational level, maternal employment, and mode of delivery. However no statistically significant factors were identified. Conclusion: EBF in NA countries falls below the recommendations of the WHO. Concerted efforts and adoption of a multi-dimensional approach is needed to promote and support EBF practices. EBF rates in NA vary widely, and efforts to promote and support this practice need to be context-specific and tailored to each country's unique challenges and opportunities. Implementation of Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiatives can contribute to the improvement of breastfeeding practices in this region.
