摘要：

The World Health Organization estimated that about 800000 infant deaths could be prevented annually by exclusively breastfeeding infants for the first 6 months of life. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding and its associated factors. A total of 192 mothers participated. The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding practice in Trongsa district was 97% at 1 month, declining to 58% at 6 months. Mothers who returned to formal work were less likely to exclusively breastfeed than those who were farmers or housewives. The main reasons stated by the mothers for not exclusively breastfeeding were lack of the mother's self-confidence that the child is getting enough breastmilk and mothers having to return to work, 59% and 22%, respectively. The rate of exclusive breastfeeding in Trongsa district of Bhutan is high, and every effort should be made to maintain and improve this rate.
