ABSTRACT
Influence of some family and maternal characteristics on prevalence of breastfeeding was studied in a cross sectional study using WHO suggested methodology. 547 mothers with children less than three years of age were interviewed with the help of a schedule. Age and parity of the mother, sex of the child, length of urban stay, mother's going for work did not influence the prevalence of breastfeeding. Prevalence was higher among illiterate mothers and mothers belonging to lower socio-economic status. The mothers from higher socio-economic status initiated breastfeeding earlier. More mothers from higher socio-economic status and those with better education thought that supplementation was needed before the child was 4 months old and felt that breastfeeding was needed for less than two years.
