INFLUENCE OF MATERNAL NUTRITION ON THE EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING OF INFANTS
ABSTRACT
The study looked at how maternal nutrition affected infants’ exclusive breastfeeding in Edo State’s Egor Local Government Area. The study aimed to determine the impact of maternal nutrition, socioeconomic level, occupation, and perception on newborn exclusive breastfeeding in Egor Local Government Area.
To drive the study, four research questions were posed, including: what are the impacts of mother nutrition on newborn exclusive breastfeeding? What is the relationship between maternal socioeconomic level and exclusive breastfeeding?
What is the impact of maternal occupation on the implementation of exclusive breastfeeding? What role does mother perspective have on newborns’ exclusive breastfeeding? The results demonstrated that maternal nutrition had no significant effect on exclusive breastfeeding.
That maternal health status was a significant socioeconomic barrier to the practice of exclusive breastfeeding. The availability of baby-friendly facilities at the workplace for moms to nurse their babies was an important occupational factor. Nursing mothers believed that supplying water and only breastfeeding causes the breast to become flabby and ugly.
These findings led to the conclusion that maternal nutrition has no effect on the practice of exclusive breastfeeding in Edo State’s Egor Local Government Area.
Some recommendations were made, including: all hands on deck to increase the uptake of exclusive breastfeeding of infants; government and private enterprises should provide baby-friendly facilities at their workplaces for mothers to breastfeed their baby exclusively; and maternal health status should be prioritised by everyone because the health of their infant is linked to the mother’s.
