Abstract
Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is viewed as a major public health intervention to reduce the child mortality. The aim of the study was to explore problems facing newly breast feeding mothers and the plan of nursing action. Subjects and Methods: cross sectional study was adopted. A total of 200 women, with children aged less than 40 days from those registered in primary Health Care centers in Tanta City were included in the study. Collection of data covered a period of six months "from March 2017 to August 2017". Results: 32 % mothers had exclusive breast feeding. With the most common barrier was their ignorance about its importance, lack of support and insufficient breast milk (23.0%, 21.5% and 15.0 respectively). More than half of the sample (54.6%) was exposed to nipple and breast problems such as; nipple soreness and cracking, breast engorgement and nipple size problems (51.5%, 39.0% and 34.0% respectively) and 76.0% were exposed to postpartum stress. Conclusion and recommendations: Breastfeeding exclusivity among the present sample was suboptimal, compared to the current WHO recommendations. Meanwhile, newly breast deeding mother were more vulnerable to breast feeding problems, and postpartum stress. The studied factors should be considered when planning programs designed to promote breastfeeding.
