BACKGROUND
For almost all infants, breastfeeding remains the simplest, healthiest and least expensive feeding method that fulfils the infants' needs. Despite strong evidence in support of Exclusive breast feding (EBF) for the first six months of life, its prevalence has remained low worldwide.
METHODOLOGY
This was a cross-sectional descriptive study involving women of child bearing age in Kware town of Sokoto State. One in eight samples of 179 mother-child pairs were selected and information regarding their knowledge and practice of exclusive breastfeeding obtained using a set of structured interviewer administered questionnaires.
RESULTS
A total of 54(31%) of the mothers had adequate knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding with 94(53%) of them initiating breastfeeding immediately after birth. Only 55(31%) of the mothers practiced exclusive breastfeeding. Out of the 53 mothers that stopped breastfeeding, 85% of them did so between 16-20 months.
CONCLUSION
Although breastfeeding was universal in this community, the knowledge and practice of EBF was low. There is a need to institute interventions aimed at early initiation of breastfeeding and improving the knowledge and practice of EBF towards achieving the goals of MDG-4 in the study community.
背景
对于几乎所有婴儿来说，母乳喂养仍然是满足婴儿需求的最简单、最健康且最经济的喂养方式。尽管有强有力的证据支持在生命的前六个月进行纯母乳喂养，但在全球范围内其普及率仍然很低。
方法
这是一项横断面描述性研究，涉及索科托州夸雷镇的育龄妇女。从179对母婴对中抽取八分之一的样本，并使用一组由访谈员管理的结构化问卷获取有关她们纯母乳喂养知识和做法的信息。
结果
共有54名（31%）母亲对纯母乳喂养有足够的了解，其中94名（53%）在产后立即开始母乳喂养。只有55名（31%）母亲进行纯母乳喂养。在停止母乳喂养的53名母亲中，85%在16至20个月之间停止。
结论
尽管母乳喂养在这个社区很普遍，但纯母乳喂养的知识和做法水平较低。有必要开展干预措施，旨在尽早开始母乳喂养，并提高纯母乳喂养的知识和做法，以实现研究社区的千年发展目标4。
