Abstract: Exclusive breastfeeding is a highly effective and cost-efficient intervention for preventing childhood morbidities and mortalities. It can prevent approximately 13% of childhood deaths, which equates to saving at least 1.2 million children worldwide each year. However, globally, only about 35% of infants are exclusively breastfed. In developing countries, the rate is 38% for infants under six months, while in Ethiopia, approximately 52% of infants in this age group are exclusively breastfed.
