Prevalence of correct knowledge relating to optimal breastfeeding practices at endline, as calculated with a generalised linear model on individual-level data


Baseline (n=2288)
Endline
Control group (n=1161) Intervention group (n=1092) Risk difference p value
A mother should start breastfeeding during the first hour after delivery 38·8% (35·3–42·5) 50·3% (43·0–57·6) 76·9% (72·9–80·9) 26·6% (18·4–34·7) <0·001
A mother should breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 months 51·0% (46·2–55·9) 57·2% (50·1–64·2) 80·3% (76·1–84·6) 23·1% (14·9–31·3) <0·001
A mother should start to give water or other liquids to her infant after age 6 months Not collected at baseline 53·9% (45·5–62·3)* 89·9% (85·9–93·9)* 36·0% (27·5–44·5)* <0·001*
