Attitude and perception on exclusive breast feeding among nursing mothers visiting specialist Hospital Sokoto

ABSTRACT Breast milk helps low-birth-weight newborns. Breast milk is the healthiest. Breastfeeding improves baby health and strengthens mother-child bonds. A baby's health depends on breastfeeding. Breast milk aids newborn development. Antibodies in breast milk protect newborns. Malnutrition is characterized by short stature, aberrant body weight (thin or fat and flabby), tiny, weak muscles, a pale or sallow complexion, an absence or excess of subcutaneous fat, dull or red eyes, glossy or rough hair, and a poor appetite. Eating, working, resting, and even pooping may affect health. A specialist hospital case study examines Nigerian moms' views on exclusive breastfeeding. Interviews and in-depth structural observations assess sanitation viewpoints in this cross-sectional investigation. This sample has a probability larger than zero for each population member. Each unit was randomly picked. Breastfed children exhibited greater cognitive ability, were less likely to be stunted or wasted, and were less likely to develop obesity and related health issues. Breastfeeding exclusively improves newborn health, which may enhance a baby's lifetime, substantially reduce under-5 mortality, and decrease mother mortality (reduced diarrhoea, better tooth and gum development, lower lung infection risk, and fewer breast difficulties). Day or night. Midwives advocate exclusive nursing for two years, commencing with supplementary meals at six months.
