Pre-lacteal feeding is one of the major harmful practices being faced while feeding the newborns. Although it affects child health, little is known about the extent of the problem and its contributing factors in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to figure the prevalence of pre-lacteal feeding practices and associated factors among mothers of children aged less than 12 months in Jinka Town.
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Jinka Town from March 1 to 30, 2019. A total of 430 mothers, having children less than 12 months of age, were selected by systematic sampling technique. The data were collected by using pretested and interviewer- administered structured questionnaires. The data were entered using epidata 4.2.1 and exported to SPSS version 23 for analysis. Adjusted odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals and p-values were reported.
The prevalence of pre-lacteal feeding practice was 12.6% [95% CI (9.5-15.7)]. Having no maternal education [AOR = 4.82(95%CI 1.60-14.24)], colostrum avoidance [AOR = 4.09(95% CI 1.62-7.67)], lack of breast feeding counseling [AOR: = 2.51(95% CI 1.20-5.25)], home delivery [AOR = 3.34 (95% CI 1.52-7.33)], lack of knowledge about risks of pre-lacteal feeding [AOR = 2.86 (95% CI 1.30-6.29] and poor knowledge on breast feeding practices [AOR = 3.63(95% CI 1.62-8.11)] were factors associated with pre-lacteal feeding practices.
Pre-lacteal feeding practice among mothers of children aged less than 12 months in Jinka town was found to be higher than the national prevalence. Illiterate, colostrum avoidance, lack of breastfeeding counseling, home delivery, lack of knowledge on the risk of pre-lacteal feeding, and poor knowledge on breastfeeding practice were factors associated with pre-lacteal feeding practices.
在新生儿喂养过程中，口前喂养是面临的主要有害做法之一。尽管它会影响儿童健康，但对于该问题的严重程度及其在研究区域的促成因素知之甚少。因此，本研究旨在了解津加镇 12 个月以下儿童的母亲中口前喂养做法的流行情况及其相关因素。
2019 年 3 月 1 日至 30 日，在津加镇进行了一项基于社区的横断面研究。采用系统抽样技术选择了 430 名年龄在 12 个月以下的儿童的母亲。通过使用预测试和访谈者管理的结构化问卷收集数据。数据使用 epidata 4.2.1 输入，并导出到 SPSS 版本 23 进行分析。报告了调整后的优势比、95%置信区间和 p 值。
口前喂养做法的流行率为 12.6%[95%CI（9.5-15.7）]。母亲没有接受教育[AOR=4.82（95%CI 1.60-14.24）]、避免初乳[AOR=4.09（95%CI 1.62-7.67）]、缺乏母乳喂养咨询[AOR：=2.51（95%CI 1.20-5.25）]、家庭分娩[AOR=3.34（95%CI 1.52-7.33）]、对口前喂养风险缺乏认识[AOR=2.86（95%CI 1.30-6.29）]和对母乳喂养做法的认识较差[AOR=3.63（95%CI 1.62-8.11）]是与口前喂养做法相关的因素。
在津加镇 12 个月以下儿童的母亲中，口前喂养做法的流行率高于全国水平。文盲、避免初乳、缺乏母乳喂养咨询、家庭分娩、对口前喂养风险的认识不足以及对母乳喂养做法的认识较差是与口前喂养做法相关的因素。
