“…Prevalence of prelacteal feeding in this study was relatively comparable with studies in Wolayta sodo (20.6%), Tigray (24.7%) and Dabat district (26.8%) [16,20,21]. However, the gure we have obtained are far higher than those found in other studies in Sidama (5.5%), in Mettu (14.2%) and in Debrebirhan (14.2%) [22,23,24]. The observed variance may be due to variations in culture, health service access and population character.…”

Back ground: Neonatal death remained a global public health issue, especially in Ethiopia due to sub-optimal breast-feeding practices. While several interventions have been made to comply with the WHO guideline, sub-optimal feeding practices are commonly seen in Ethiopia. The goal of this study was therefore to identify gaps in optimal breast-feeding practice in South West Ethiopia.Objective: To assess the prevalence and determinant of early days of newborn feeding mal-practices among recently delivered women in Mizan-Aman Town, southwestern Ethiopia, 2020.Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was undertaken on recently delivered women from March-April/2020. A total of 487 mothers-child (<12month) pair were selected by using multistage randomized sampling technique and the data was collected through face to face interview by using structured questionnaire. The result was analyzed via SPSS version 26. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess determinant of newborn feeding mal-practices and a p<0.05 was deem to be significant.Result: Prevalence of prelacteal feeding and colostrum avoidance was approximately 21.9% and 15.5% respectively. The most common prelacteal food was Rue / Tenadam/49 (10.1 %). The key reasons were: 49(10.1 %) Cultural activity followed by 45 (9.3 %) clean-up of the intestine / throat / mouth of babies. Determinants of pre-lacteal feeding were found to be: mothers recognizing risks of prelacteal feeding, multipara mothers, having ≥4 number of children and infant’s birth order 4-6. Likewise, exposure to infant formula advertisement, absence of home to home health education, multipara mothers and spontaneous vaginal birth were the determinants of colostrum avoidance.Conclusion: The study found that there was a sub-optimal breast-feeding practice, one in four newborns. As a result, activities to discourage pre-lacteal feeding and to improve early initiation of colostrum feeding practices shall be carried out.

“…The odds of practicing prelacteal feeding among mothers who gave birth at home were 7 times higher than mothers who gave birth at a health facility (AOR = 7.52; 95% CI: 3.44,16.45).

Background In Ethiopia, inappropriate feeding including prelacteal feeding is one of the immediate causes of undernutrition. The objective of this study was to assess the magnitude and associated factors of prelacteal feeding practices among mothers of children aged less than one year in Rural Pastoralist Communities of Afar, Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Afar Region, Ethiopia from May to June 2016. A total of 424 mothers were included in the study. A two-stage cluster sampling technique was used to select sample clusters and households. A pre-tested and structured questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. SPSS version 25 was used to analyze the data. Model goodness of fitness was assessed using Hosmer and Lemeshow test. Multi-collinearity between independent variables was checked. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the association between the explanatory variables and prelacteal feeding practices. Multivariable logistic regression was also used to determine the independent predictors of prelacteal feeding practices. Result In this study, 75.7% (95% CI 71.1%, 79.7%) of mothers gave prelacteal feeds to their newborns. The odd of prelacteal feeding was 2.32 times higher in mothers whose husbands didn’t attend formal education as compared to their counterpart (AOR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.18-4.5). The odds of prelacteal feeding was 7 times higher for infants delivered at home compared to infants delivered at a health facility (AOR = 7.52, 95% CI:3.44, 16.45). Fail to have skin to skin contact between the mother and the newborn increases the odds of prelacteal feeding by 5 times than their counterparts (AOR=5.12, 95%CI: 2.14, 12.21). Conclusion Three-fourth of the children in Rural Pastoralist Communities of Afar received prelacteal feeding. Home delivery, husband education and skin to skin contact immediately after birth were found to be independent predictors of prelacteal feeding in the pastoralist communities. Strengthening the behavior change communication on optimal infant and young child feeding, promotion of husband education and institutional delivery and skin to skin contact immediately after birth are the recommendations.

“…Accordingly, the prevalence of prelacteal feeding was found to be 17.1% with 95% CI [14.3, 20]. This nding is in line with study done in Indian16.9% (24) and Mettu district 14.2% (5). This similarity might be due to similar study design and study setting.…”

“…United Nation Child Emergency Fund (UNICEF) discourages this practice and recommends to continue breast feeding up to 2 years and beyond (3,4). Despite of this recommendations, in many parts of the globe including Ethiopian mothers give prelacteal foods to their child (5)(6)(7)(8).…”

Background: Prelacteal feeding is administration of any food or fluid other than breast milk before initiation of breast feeding. Optimal breastfeeding including discouraging prelacteal feeding could save 823,000 lives per year among children ages five years old and younger. Despite of this mothers give prelacteal feeding to their child in different part of Ethiopia; However, there is a paucity of information on prevalence of prelacteal feeding and associated factors in the study area. Thus, the current study aimed at determining of the prevalence of prelacteal feeding and associated factors among mothers of children aged less than six months in Gozamen district, East Gojjam zone, North West Ethiopia, 2019-2020Methods: A community -based cross-sectional study was conducted among 741 mothers of children aged less than six months in Gozamen district from August 2019 to Feb 2020. Stratified cluster sampling technique was used to select study participants. Data were collected by face to face interviewer-administered, pretested and semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive analysis, bi-variable and multivariable logistic regression model were employed. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to identify factors associated with prelacteal feeding.Results: In this study the prevalence of prelacteal feeding was found to be 17.1%with 95%CI [14.3, 20]. Mothers who had no ANC follow up [AOR: 7.53, CI; 3.32, 17.05], those mothers who did not discard colostrum [AOR: 0.12, CI; 0.07, 0.12] time of breast feeding initiation [AOR: 3.53, CI; 2.05, 6.11] and mothers who had single ANC visit [AOR: 2.98, CI; 1.52, 5.85] were significant independent factors associated with prelacteal feeding.Conclusion: This study concluded that prelacteal feeding was high in the study area .Therefore, in order to tackle this problem strengthening antenatal follow up, timely initiation of breastfeeding, health education and awarenes creation of the communities are recommended interventions.
