Breastfeeding is the optimal way of providing ideal food for the health, growth, and development of infants while simultaneously benefiting the lactating mother. Exclusive breastfeeding should be the norm from birth until 6 months of age followed by the introduction of age-appropriate complementary foods. In this study, a sample of 400 mothers whose infants were in the first six months of life have been collectedfrom the attendants of CSPM to estimate the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding according to age and the pattern of breastfeeding. It was found that the practice of exclusive breastfeeding up to the age of 6 months was not satisfactory. Liquids (other than milk) and semisolids were introduced early to the infant’s diet. Providing health education on breastfeeding as an intervention for the studied group has shown toimprove the mother’s knowledge and practice of breastfeeding.
