Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals gaps in infant feeding practices among mothers in Pokhara, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • Nearly 48% of mothers initiated breastfeeding within an hour of birth, but that number was lower for exclusive breastfeeding.
  • About 97% of infants were fully vaccinated, yet only 25% received appropriate complementary feeding.
  • A community-based cross-sectional study surveyed 190 mothers using a semi-structured interview questionnaire.
  • Targeted awareness programs may improve infant health by promoting proper feeding practices during early life.
