A structured questionnaire (schedule) was pretested among 5% of the total sample to prepare the information sheet more precisely. Data were collected on sociodemographic information. Age, occupation, education, marital status, number of children, income and expenditure were considered as independent variables and knowledge about breastfeeding, knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding, knowledge about colostrum feeding, knowledge about advantages of breastfeeding, initiation of breastfeeding and duration of breastfeeding were considered as dependent variables by face-to-face interview method. After the interview, a scoring system was developed for each component: each correct answer was given a score of 1, and for multiple answers a score of 1 was divided by the total number of answers. Two categories were defined on the basis of the score obtained by each participant: poor (60% of the total score). Data were analysed by appropriate univariate as well as multivariate analysis. p
