| Abstract: | Bottle‐feeding is an infant feeding modality that has been in existence since ancient times, and currently a significant number of infants are being fed via bottle with either breast milk or formula. Although research on bottle‐feeding has continued, it exists in fragmented, often small studies that focus on singular aspects of feeding an infant using a bottle, with limited information on the bottle‐feeding act. The objectives of the study were to assess the knowledge regarding bottle feeding among mothers of under five children and to find an association between the knowledge and selected demographic variables. A quantitative research approach was used for the study. The sample size was 150 mothers of under 5 children who attended pediatric OPDs and wards of the hospital were selected using purposive sampling. The knowledge regarding bottle feeding was assessed using a self-administered questionnaire. The major findings of the study were, 64.67% of mothers having good knowledge and 35.33% of mothers having average knowledge regarding bottle feeding. The study reported that there is a significant association with age of the child and has no association with age of the mother, occupation of the mother, practice of breastfeeding and practice of bottle feeding. The study concludes that the sample population has good knowledge about bottle feeding. Keywords: Assess; Knowledge; Bottlefeeding; Mothers of under five children. |
