Mixed-methods research shows improved breastfeeding in Kenyan communities through tailored interventions, highlighting the need for gender-focused education.
Research indicates that breastfeeding is crucial for infant health in Kenya but faces challenges related to gender dynamics. The study employed a mixed-methods approach involving surveys (n=300) and focus group discussions (n=25). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics for quantitative data and thematic analysis for qualitative data. Findings suggest that gender-specific interventions significantly increased breastfeeding duration by 18% among participants compared to controls, with a 95% confidence interval of [10%, 26%]. The study supports the efficacy of tailored nutrition interventions in enhancing breastfeeding practices. Healthcare providers should incorporate gender-specific education into prenatal and postnatal care programmes.
