To asses the prevailing breastfeeding and infant feeding practices in rural areas.
Stratified sampling method in a community based study.
1050 infants from 0-24 months of age.
The timely first suckling rate was 0.3%. All the infants received prelacteal feeds. Colostrum was rejected by 29% of mothers. Delayed initiation of breastfeeding was common; 35% of babies were not breast-fed even at 48 h of birth. Exclusive breastfeeding was noted in 94% at 1 mo, 83.5% at 2 mo, 72.5% at 3 mo, 61.2% at 4 mo, 43.4% at 5 mo and 26.8% at 6 mo age. Timely complementary feeding rate was 57.3% among infants from 6 to 10 mo age. Continued breastfeeding rate was 99.7% at 1 year and 87.2% at 2 years. The bottle feeding rate was 49.4% among infants below 1 year age. The ever breast-fed rate was 97.0% and the median duration of breastfeeding was beyond 24 months.
Bottle feeding is quite prevalent even in rural areas and the infant feeding practices are far from satisfactory.
评估农村地区当前的母乳喂养及婴儿喂养方式。
基于社区研究的分层抽样方法。
1050名0至24个月大的婴儿。
及时首次吸吮率为0.3%。所有婴儿均接受了初乳前喂养。29%的母亲拒绝初乳。母乳喂养开始延迟的情况很常见;35%的婴儿即使在出生48小时后仍未进行母乳喂养。1个月时纯母乳喂养率为94%,2个月时为83.5%,3个月时为72.5%,4个月时为61.2%,5个月时为43.4%,6个月时为26.8%。6至10个月大婴儿的及时添加辅食率为57.3%。1岁时持续母乳喂养率为99.7%,2岁时为87.2%。1岁以下婴儿奶瓶喂养率为49.4%。曾经母乳喂养率为97.0%,母乳喂养的中位持续时间超过24个月。
即使在农村地区,奶瓶喂养也相当普遍,婴儿喂养方式远不能令人满意。
