| Summary, etc. | Abstract:<br/><br/>Background: Exclusive breast feeding and complementary feeding to infants are the most important practice in order to achieve proper childhood physical and mental development. The WHO recommends that children should be exclusively breastfeed for six month and start on appropriate complementary feeding after that. Knowledge on exclusive breast feeding and complementary feeding among women of reproductive are will create awareness on feeding practices that are unbeneficial to infant and child health. <br/><br/>Objectives: To find out exclusive breast feeding and complementary feeding practices among women of reproductive age attending Reproductive and child health and outpatient department at Kigamboni health centre in Temeke, Dar es Salaam.<br/><br/>Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among women of reproductive age with children from 0-60 months at Kigamboni Health centre in Temeke, Dar es Salaam. Data was collected from the women using questionnaires. <br/><br/>Results: Out of 295 mothers 190 (64.4%) had primary level of education and about 17 (5.8%) had tertiary level education. Among the children most of them were aged 0-60 months (36.3%) and lowest age group were 55-60 (1.7%) months. About 60% started breastfeeding within 0-30 minutes after delivery and 31.5% started more than an hour after delivery. Among mothers who were interviewed 90 (30.5%) of the children were exclusively breastfed up to the age of 5-6 months. About 18.3% stopped breastfeeding by age 19-24 months while 43.4% of children were introduced to complementary feeding after 6 months.<br/><br/>Conclusion and Recommendations: The percentage of EBF is bigger but in order to increase appropriate feeding practices, more extensive and comprehensive approach to infant feeding counselling should be undertaken. <br/> |
