Article Synopsis
- Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is vital for infant and maternal health, but rates are declining globally, prompting a study in the Aseer region of Saudi Arabia to assess EBF prevalence and influencing factors among mothers.
- A survey was conducted from January to March 2024 involving 1,008 mothers and examined various elements such as education level, delivery method, pregnancy history, and support for breastfeeding.
- The findings revealed that only 13% of mothers met EBF criteria, and factors such as lower education levels and vaginal delivery increased EBF rates, while higher education and cesarean sections decreased them.
