BACKGROUND: Exclusive breastfeeding within the first six months of infancy is one of the main goals of global public
health.There is evidence linking early breastfeeding termination to several factors, including the reasons given by women for quitting. The purpose of this study was to describe the actual nursing practices and the stated intentions of women to breastfeed, as well as to examine the correlations between different parameters at Lady Reading Hospital.
METHODOLGY: the study subject to the greatest extent possible by using this convergent design "to obtain different but complementary data on same topic." At Kohat District Hospital's Peads OPD & Ward, a cross-sectional study was carried out with ethical approval.
RESULT: The age group under 35 had the highest percentage, at 151 (69%). 118 people, or 54%, had primary level education, which was more than other factors. There was a lower employment ratio among working mothers (87, 40%). The store milk had the highest percentage of respondents not answering (19), but everyone had the same opinion about breast milk as the first food after birth. For water utilization, 22 moms gave the same response. Thirty-three women did not respond, 89 were safe, and 97 mothers had depression. 137 babies received colostrum, whereas 107 (48%) of them received hand washing as part of their hygiene routine. Thirty-one moms, or eighteen percent, utilized medication for lactation.
CONCLUSION: For the mother and the child, proper hygiene is crucial. Education and support are beneficial after the initial delivery. Health care professionals should visit all expectant moms to provide education and advice on sanitary care, as well as to monitor postpartum depression.
