It is noteworthy that all newborns of the mothers in the study remained in rooming-in during the entire hospital stay. Conclusion: The results point to a satisfactory result in relation to Exclusive Breastfeeding and its difficulties during the study period, and it became evident that the study setting provides prior guidance to mothers in relation to the breastfeeding process.
