Abstract:

 Background: The World Health Organization recommends the practice of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) of infants for the first 6 months after birth. It is the simplest, healthiest, and least expensive method that fulfills the infants nutritional requirement, and it plays an important role in reducing the child mortality and morbidity. Although breastfeeding is a common practice in India, most of the people do not properly understand the importance of the knowledge about breastfeeding how it should be given the timings, duration, correct techniques, and appropriate time of weaning mothers milk. 
 
 Objective: The objectives were to identify the prevalence of EBF, association with demographic characteristics, and reasons of nonadherence on EBF among the mothers of children.
