Studies on Exclusive Breastfeeding: A Report on Associated Factors in an African Population

Dr Charles Osayande Eregie, MBBS, FWACP, FMCPaed

Institute of Child Health, University of Benin PMB 1154, Benin City, Nigeria

This study was conducted at the Infant Welfare Clinic of the University Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria, in April 1996, to investigate factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding in this African population. Birth weight showed significant association with exclusive breastfeeding. Maternal age and maternal educational level did not. It is suggested that the association between maternal educational level and exclusive breastfeeding needs further investigation in different cultures.
