Harmony in healthcare: recommended infant feeding practices and associated factors among HIV positive mothers in Eastern Ethiopian hospitals

the study identified a moderate level of adherence to recommended infant feeding practices among HIV-positive mothers in Eastern Ethiopian hospitals. Key factors influencing adherence included the child's age, mode of delivery, and the provision of expressed breast milk. Target interventions to improve infant feeding practices among HIV-positive mothers, focusing on younger infants, cesarean-delivered mothers, and those not providing expressed breast milk. Strengthen counseling and education in healthcare facilities to address these significant factors and enhance adherence to recommended feeding practices.
