Abstract
Background and objective:
Breast milk is the most comprehensive source of nutrients for a baby's first six months of life. Breastfeeding
for a shorter period of time can result in a two- to three-fold increase in malnutrition, infection, and infant
death. This study was done to explore the failure factors of exclusive breastfeeding in children under 6
months due to the significance of supporting and promoting exclusive breastfeeding and defining the factors
connected to it, as well as the inconsistent results of studies in this field.
Keywords
Failure of exclusive breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, the first 6 months of the baby's life.
