Description
Buzuneh Tasfa Marine, Yematawork Alemu Haile, and Mihiret Genene Zewde survey how breastfeeding mothers eat in Jimma Town, Ethiopia. Good food in this phase guards the mother's health and the baby's growth. Their 2026 study met mothers face to face across the town with a set survey.
Good food habits tied to schooling, being married, and mid-range age. Higher home income and a husband in private trade also linked to better habits. Eating three or more meals a day and a wide mix of foods helped as well. Food taboos dragged habits down, as did large family size and no diet advice. The authors urge more food teaching, more diet counsel, and work on taboos. Better home income would help too, they add.
