Also, majority of nursing mothers, 45{90%}, believe in EBF as beneficial to children. This indicates a positive relation among the as far as EBF promotion is concerned. Again, for the fact that majority of them,36{75%}said that they would breastfeed exclusively for 5-6 months suggest that most of the children in the age range 3-4 months are most likely to be exclusively breastfed for 6 months. Most of the mothers are traders and artisans which implies they the bulk of the supporters and believers of EBF.They therefore need a back-up support and motivation to propagate the education on EBF. Almost an equal number of either side of the mothers know or did not know of breast milk expression and storage. An effective way is to embark on an extensive education on EBF, expression, storage and management of breast milk on television, radio programmes, antenatal and postnatal clinics as well as individual counselin
