3 HEALTH ADVANCEMENT AND PROMOTION“The impact of breastfeeding education intervention on rate of breastfeeding formothers undergoing caesarean delivery- a quasi-exprimental study” Background Breastfeeding is a topic that has gained immense significance across age group,cultures, geographical locations and economic statuses. The general agreement is that thebenefits of breastfeeding are multi-faceted. Research indicates that breastfeeding is directlylinked to the positive health outcomes of the newborn as well as the new mother. As per theguidelines of WHO, exclusive breastfeeding helps in achieving optimal growth and otherhealth benefits. In addition, there is a protective effect against high incidence of morbidityand mortality from gastrointestinal infections (Dieterich et al., 2013). Victora et al., (2016)opined that breastfeeding is effective in promoting maternal-infant bond as well.
