Parental Care00:55

Parental Care

Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.
Development of Human Microbiota01:30

Development of Human Microbiota

The human microbiota begins developing at birth and undergoes continual change as we age. Infancy marks a critical period of microbial sensitivity, offering a “window of opportunity” during which beneficial microbes help mature the immune system. By age three, children typically develop a more stable and diverse microbial community. Newborns acquire microbes from their immediate environment; vaginal delivery favors maternal vaginal microbes, while cesarean births favor microbes from the skin...
Development of the Oral Microbiota01:28

Development of the Oral Microbiota

The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...
Current Trends in Nursing II01:30

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
The Mammary Glands01:12

The Mammary Glands

The female breast is a hemispheric projection of variable size positioned anterior to the pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles. A fascia layer composed of dense, irregular connective tissue connects it to these muscles.
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...

Summary

Mothers' age, education, and socio-economic status significantly influence breastfeeding duration in rural Nepal. Younger, educated, and higher socio-economic status mothers are more likely to stop breastfeeding earlier.

Area of Science:

  • Maternal and Child Health
  • Demography
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Breastfeeding is crucial for infant nutrition and maternal health.
  • Understanding factors influencing breastfeeding duration is vital for public health interventions.
  • Limited research exists on breastfeeding determinants in rural South Asia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the determinants of breastfeeding duration.
  • To analyze the influence of maternal and child characteristics on breastfeeding practices.
  • To inform policy for improving maternal and child health in Nepal.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from a sample survey in Palpa and Rupandehi districts, rural Nepal.
  • Employed the Cox proportional hazard model to analyze breastfeeding determinants.

  • Examined associations between maternal age, education, socio-economic status, postpartum amenorrhea, and breastfeeding duration.

    • Main Results:

    • Maternal age, education, and socio-economic status were significant determinants of breastfeeding duration.
    • Younger mothers were more likely to terminate breastfeeding early.
    • Increased postpartum amenorrhea was associated with decreased risk of terminating breastfeeding.
    • Higher maternal education and socio-economic status were linked to a higher risk of early breastfeeding cessation.

    Conclusions:

    • Maternal characteristics, particularly age and education, play a critical role in breastfeeding practices.
    • Findings suggest a need for targeted interventions to support breastfeeding among educated and younger mothers.
    • The study provides valuable insights for policymakers to design effective maternal and child health programs.
