Background: According to World Health Organization Exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF) is, giving baby only breast milk for 6 months without adding any additional food or water. Objectives: This Study was done to assess the prevalence of breastfeeding among mothers attending the vaccination clinic and Outpatient Department (OPD) in tertiary care centre and assessing the challenges faced by the mothers during breastfeeding. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with two types questionnaire-used, one to assess the prevalence of EBF and second to assess the knowledge related to breast feeding. Questionnaires were prepared based on one-point survey. Sample size was calculated by Daniel’s formula: n = z. 500 mothers were assessed, participants divided into two groups based on whether they exclusive breastfeed their babies for 6 months or not. Chi square test for independence was done to assess the association. Results: A total of 500 mothers were given questionnaire who visited vaccination clinic and OPD out of these 66 mothers did not participate for questionnaire because of lack of unwillingness. Most of the mothers (250, 65.10%) said that breastfeeding was good for the baby, 230 (59.89%) mothers were aware that mother’s milk composition was different from cow’s milk and (72.91%) felt that prelacteals should not be given to the baby. Conclusions: Most of the mothers are aware that breast milk is beneficial for their baby; however, the biggest problem was anxiety regarding the amount of their breast milk. There is also a need of campaign related to harm done by prelacteals feed.Keywords

Background: Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a disease where development of abnormal retinal vessels occurs because of incomplete vascularization of the retinal tissue. With advancement in the field of neonatology now more premature babies and Very-Low-Birth-Weight (VLBW) infants surviving and incidence of retinopathy of prematurity is increasing. ROP screening should be done in all premature babies. Objectives: To Study the Risk Factors for Retinopathy of Prematurity in Premature Born infants at tertiary care centre. Methods: This study was done on 75 newborns infants and were included in study after satisfying the inclusion criteria. The following criteria were studied: gestational age≤34 weeks or BW≤1500 grams, along with neonates with more birth weight and higher gestational age having risk factors like : low Apgar score, duration of oxygen supplementation more than 10 days, sepsis, more than one blood transfusion, respiratory distress. Characteristics of newborns including risk factors, and pattern of severe ROP were assessed from Punjab region of India. Result: Total of 75 newborns included in the study, 53 were males (70.66%) and 22 were (29.33%) females. The analysis of gestational age showed that the mean age was 29.9±2.9 weeks, the youngest one was of 27 weeks and the oldest was 37 weeks of gestation. The average birth weight was 1350±510 grams, with lowest 675 gm and highest 3100 grams. Conclusion: The most common risk factors that are associated with development of ROP revealed gestational age, Apgar score in the first minute, birth weight, duration of oxygen therapy and the blood transfusion.Keywords
