BACKGROUND
Although breastfeeding in general is common and culturally accepted in many sub-Saharan countries, recommended exclusive breastfeeding infants to 6 months is rare. In rural Tanzania, data on infant feeding practices is rare.
OBJECTIVE
To examine and describe exclusive breastfeeding practices in rural settings (Coast Region) of Tanzania.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was conducted in Coast Region of Tanzania involving 342 mothers. Only mothers with children aged between 6 and 23 months were interviewed in their residences. Data analyses included descriptive and logistic regression analyses.
RESULTS
The majority, 66%, of mothers reported to have breastfed their new born within the first hour of life. About 30% reported to have breastfed exclusively for up to at least six months. Those who did not practice complete exclusive breastfeeding mentioned insufficient milk as the main reason. Correlates of exclusive breastfeeding included maternal education and attitudes towards exclusive breastfeeding.
CONCLUSION
The rate of exclusive breastfeeding in rural areas like the Coast Region of Tanzania is still very low. Programs aimed to promote exclusive breastfeeding must take multi-factorial considerations.
背景
尽管在撒哈拉以南的许多国家，母乳喂养总体上很普遍且在文化上被接受，但建议纯母乳喂养婴儿至6个月的情况却很少见。在坦桑尼亚农村地区，关于婴儿喂养方式的数据很少。
目的
研究并描述坦桑尼亚农村地区（海岸地区）的纯母乳喂养情况。
方法
在坦桑尼亚海岸地区进行了一项横断面研究，涉及342名母亲。仅对居住在当地、孩子年龄在6至23个月之间的母亲进行了访谈。数据分析包括描述性分析和逻辑回归分析。
结果
大多数（66%）母亲报告在孩子出生后的第一小时内就开始母乳喂养。约30%的母亲报告至少纯母乳喂养了六个月。那些没有完全纯母乳喂养的母亲提到母乳不足是主要原因。纯母乳喂养的相关因素包括母亲的教育程度和对纯母乳喂养的态度。
结论
在坦桑尼亚海岸地区这样的农村地区，纯母乳喂养率仍然很低。旨在促进纯母乳喂养的项目必须进行多因素考量。
