Abstract:
Breastfeeding leads to both short and long-term benefits of a child. It helps reduce infections and mortality among infants, improves mental and motor development, and protects against obesity and metabolic diseases later in the life course. The ten steps are maternity proven practices which help in achieving exclusive breastfeeding which remains a challenge. The aim of this paper was to assess the attitudes of breastfeeding mothers towards ten steps of successful breastfeeding in Kapsabet County Referral Hospital, Kenya.
