There is a correlation between children's apparent lack of solid meals and the country's child persistence rates. It is vital for children's growth and success to focus on further improving these behaviours.

Breastfeeding is a basic human behaviour that benefits the infant and the mother's health, as well as providing a considerable financial incentive for families and social orders.

The information was acquired from nursing mothers using a coordinated overview to look at their food habits and attitudes. Following data collection, processing, analysis, and the post-intervention included substantial information on breastfeeding practices and their relevance. Then, under numerous areas, their nutritional knowledge and attitude, as well as nutritional health anthropometric parameters, were examined again. To code, information and attitude were employed. The content and measurable investigation was then completed, and the operating frequency was determined.
