Predictors of delayed initiation of breast milk and exclusive breastfeeding in Ethiopia: A multi-level mixed-effect analysis
We examined a weighted sample of 2,012 children born within the past 24 months and 623 children aged 0 –5 months at the time of the survey. The data analysis was done using STATA version 15.
