Prevalence, barriers and determinants of exclusive breastfeeding among Palestinian mothers: a multicenter study
This study indicates a relatively low prevalence of EBF among Palestinian mothers. Employment and pacifier use were negatively associated with EBF practices, while prior experience significantly supports the continuation of EBF for up to six months. It is essential to emphasize the importance of breastfeeding education and support, especially for new mothers.
