Abstract: Breast feeding is a common and widespread phenomenon among mothers in India. But successful breastfeeding practices like exclusive breast feeding (EBF), feeding colostrum and avoiding prelacteal feeds is not prevalent due to the influence of bio-socio-cultural factors. Improvements in breastfeeding rates and advocacy of successful breastfeeding practices as per WHO recommendations are critical for reducing child mortality and improving maternal health.
