Abstract

Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for infants since it gives benefits not only for infants, but also for mothers. Exclusive breastfeeding makes infants have better growth and development. WHO recommends six months of exclusive breatfeeding, which is breastfeeding without food or other drinks. One of the obstacles for exclusive breatfeeding is of the infants grandmother. Hence, specific materials for educating mothers and grandmothers on breastfeeding is needed. We developed a module for educating exclusive breastfeeding for the mothers and grandmothers by the 4-D method (define-design-develop-disseminate). The findings showed that the module could be used by health cadres to address issues related to exclusive breastfeeding among mothers and grandmothers.

Keywords: exclusive breastfeeding, module, mother, grandmother, cadres.
