Effect of teaching program on continuation of breast-feeding among primigravida mothers with cesarean section

ABSTRACT

The impact of educational program on initiation and continuation of breast feeding among primigravida mothers who underwent cesarean section was investigated on 60 mothers. The majority of mothers in the studied sample have no knowledge about the correct position during breast feeding. After receiving the program, there was a highly significant difference between the 2 groups on the 3 occasions. No one stopped breast feeding before 6 months, while 26.7% of mothers in the control group stopped breast feeding before 12 months versus 6.7% in the studied group
