Summary

The investigators hypothesize that counseling of mothers will increase exclusive breast feeding rates at six weeks postnatal age. In developing countries like India,there is shortage of staff and the number of newborns cared is huge. So counseling of mothers for breast feeding becomes difficult. In such a situation using audio-visual aids may be a more practical option to increase breast feeding rates. Therefore the investigators will compare the use of video demonstration with counseling for exclusive breast feeding.
