1. Problem statement -
Breastfeeding technique and associated factors among breastfeeding mothers in Harar city, Eastern Ethiopia
Objectives –
To assess breastfeeding technique and associated factors among breastfeeding mothers.
Title-
Author(year)- Getahun Tiruye , Firehiwot Mesfin , Biftu Geda and Kasiye Shiferaw (2018)
Full reference - Getahun Tiruye at el. Breastfeeding technique and associated factors among breastfeeding mothers in Harar city,
Eastern Ethiopia. International Breastfeeding Journal.2018.(14:34)
Purpose of study- Assessing breastfeeding technique and associated factors among breastfeeding mothers.
Method of study-quantitative study
Type of study –descriptive study
Research design -cross-sectional study
Research setting - Harar city, Eastern Ethiopia
Sample size -422 study participants
Sample technique- Systematic random sampling technique
Methods of data collection - using observation checklist and interviewer administered questionnaire
Data analysis –Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was done to identify independent predictors of BFT
after controlling for confounding variables.
Main finding-The proportion of mothers practicing an effective breastfeeding technique was 43.4% (179/412). Effective
breastfeeding technique was 2.3 times more common among 4
mothers with at least secondary school educational status compared to mothers with no formal education (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR]
2.3; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.1, 3.9). The practice of effective breastfeeding technique was significantly associated with
mothers
 who had immediate breastfeeding technique counseling after birth (AOR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1, 2.8) and at least two postnatal visits (AOR
5.9; 95% CI 2.1, 15.9) compared to one visit. Absence of breast problems and having previous breastfeeding experience were also
associated with the likelihood of effective breastfeeding technique practice (AOR 4.0; 95% CI 1.4, 10.9) and (AOR 3.3; 95% CI 1.1,
10.7) respectively

Role of gastric lavage in vigorous neonates born with meconium stained amniotic fluid.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To compare reduction in incidence of feed intolerance in neonates born with meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) by use of
gastric lavage to those who did not receive lavage.
METHODS:
This Randomized controlled trial was conducted in all vigorous newborns delivered through MSAF, with birth weight ≥1800 g and
gestation ≥34 wk. In the lavage group, gastric lavage with 10 ml/kg of normal saline was done.
RESULTS:
Twelve neonates in the lavage group (n = 124) developed feed intolerance compared to 16 neonates in control group (n = 120), (p = .
309; OR 0.69; 95%CI 0.27-1.58). No difference in any other morbidity was noted.
CONCLUSIONS:
Gastric lavage in neonates with MSAF does not reduce feed intolerance, irrespective of thickness of MSAF and it confers no
advantages.
