Abstract
The results provide information to health care providers on the planning of effective breastfeeding promotion programs. Findings from this study suggest that promoting breastfeeding solely to childbearing couples is unlikely to result in significant improvements in either breastfeeding initiation or duration. Future infant feeding campaigns should be directed at the societal level to change negative attitudes and to increase acceptance of breastfeeding as a normal and natural feeding method.
