Methodology
 Study Design- Observational
Interventional
Study Area- Tewar village of Jabalpur
No of subjects- 25 Women
Inclusion criteria- woman having infant
below 4 month of age
Exclusion criteria- woman having infant
above 4 month of age
Then we council them about the benefits of
breastfeeding that is we gave them our
intervention about EBF.
Then we had done our post interventional
survey to see improvement in their
knowledge.
Then we analyzed the data and prepare the

Mothers

Question no.
Result
Total no. of mothers giving EBF to their baby
before our intervention (A1) =16 out of 25
 % of EBF = 16/25=64%
Total no. of mothers giving EBF to their baby
after our intervention (C) = 23 out of 25
 % of EBF = 23/25=92%
 
Therefore after our intervention there is 92
% acceptance of EBF which was only 64 %
before our intervention.

Conclusion
 In our study we find that there were only
64% mothers giving EBF to their babies.
There is need for regular health education
to improve there knowledge about
benefits of breastfeeding.
With above principle in mind ,developing
countries should develop and implement
a package of integrated core interventions
based on local conditions to achieve
about 100% of exclusive breastfeeding in
India.
