The N@C project included the promotion of infant and young child feeding practices, the improved use of maternal and child health and nutrition services, access to quality food, the household adoption of appropriate water and sanitation practices and women’s economic empowerment and gender equity in poor settings (Fig. 1). The N@C project was imple...
This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the intervention group of the N@C project (VSLA-N@C) and the control group. Intervention groups were mothers’ groups implemented in all sixteen (16) villages of Dangbo commune, in which the N@C had implemented its activities. Before this study, a pilot that showed the critical points and challenges of u...
The size was calculated by using a published formula based on the objective of comparing the rate of EBF practices between the VSLA–N@C and control groups. The rate of EBF practices among mothers with children aged 4–5.5 months was 25% . With the intensive activity of the N@C project, we aimed to detect at least 25% of the difference between the t...
Determination of exclusive breastfeeding practices using DTM
The standard operating procedure of using DTM has been largely explained by the International Atomic Energy Agency and is detailed in much of the existing literature [8, 9, 11, 12, 20,21,22,23]. Briefly, after pre-dose saliva collection, a 30 g dose of deuterium oxide was administered, and post-dose saliva samples were collected in cryogenic tubes from the mother (~ 4 ml) and child (~ 3 ml) pair on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 13th and 14th days after dose administration to the mother. Deuter...
Anthropometry
Children’s weight was measured by a SECA 354 scale with an accuracy of 0.01 kg, and mothers’ weight was assessed by a SECA 869 scale with an accuracy of 0.1 kg. The length of the children and height of the mothers were measured using a ShorrBoard. The mean anthropometric indices of the children, namely, length-for-age (LAZ), weight-for-length (WLZ) and weight-for-age (WAZ), were generated by WHO Anthro .
Questionnaire
Questionnaires were administered to mothers to collect information on socio-economic status, household food security and participation in N@C activities (in the intervention group) or similar activities (in the control group) during the last 6 months. In addition, the standard WHO questionnaire to evaluate EBF from the 24-h recall of mothers was used . All information was collected on the first day (day 0) of the study using electronic tablets. The socio-economic status of households...
A chi-square test was used to compare the characteristics of household, children’s and mothers’ participation in activities and EBF practices between the two groups. For continuous variables, such as anthropometric indices, human milk intake, and non-milk oral intake, Student’s t-test was applied. A regression logistic multivariate analysis was con...

Abstract. Background: Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) compared to separation at birth has a positive effect on breastfeeding. However, separation at birth is common with negative impact on breastfeeding. The aim was to determine the effect of immediate SSC compared to early SSC on the duration of exclusive breastfeeding.
