A total of 150 women who were not practicing exclusive breast feeding were questioned regarding their breast feeding practice and experiences and conclusion were drawn after careful analysis. Result- the first striking reason for discontinuation of breast feeding or adding top feeds was the perception that mother’s milk is not enough.
