Abstract

The duration of EBF among infants less than six months in rural Ethiopia is significantly influenced by household access to radio, cesarean delivery, region, early initiation of breastfeeding, child's age, preceding birth interval, and marital status at the 5% significance level. To improve EBF practices, there must be targeted interventions that are relevant to regions and better support for 15.1% of mothers.
