The objective of this study is to assess suboptimal breastfeeding practice for under two-year-old children and associated factors among mothers attending Yeka sub city public health facilities, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from March to April 2022. This study will be an institutional based quantitative cross-sectional study.
Breastmilk provides the best nutrition for infants, as it has an almost perfect mixture of vitamins, protein, fat and essential nutrients for the child to grow. In Ethiopia, recent studies showed that 58% of infants less than 6 months old are exclusively breastfed. 5 % of infants under the age of 6 months are not breastfed at all. Infants who are not breastfed are 6 to 10 times more likely to die in the first month of life than infants who were breastfed. Diarrhea and pneumonia are more common and more severe in children who are artificially fed, and are responsible for many of these deaths. It is estimated that suboptimal breastfeeding, especially non-exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months of life, results in 1.4 million deaths and 10% of the disease burden in children less than two years.
