Abstract in brief

  • Breastfeeding is widely practiced in developing countries, but misconceptions about the best practices and inadequate knowledge lead to risky behaviors among mothers.
  • A study at a tertiary care center in India assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of breastfeeding among women, revealing that while most recognized breast milk as the best food for newborns, only a minority initiated breastfeeding promptly after birth.
  • The findings showed significant gaps in antenatal care and counseling, with a notable impact of education and employment status on breastfeeding practices, highlighting the need for better education and support for mothers.
