Impact of mothers’ socio-demographic factors and antenatal clinic attendance on neonatal mortality in Nigeria

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG)-Goal 3, Targets 3.2 aimed at ending preventable deaths of newborns by demanding that all countries should reduce neonatal mortality to 12 per 1000 live births by 2030.

Trends in maternal health facilities utilization and women’s autonomy in Nigeria (2013-2018)
Maternal health has emerged as a global priority because of a significant gap in the status of the mother’s wellbeing between the developed and the less developed countries. Women’s equality and empowerment are one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, aimed at ending and eliminating all forms of discrimination and violence against women and girls both in public and private spheres. The Decision-making power of women is one of the essential fa…
Evaluation of a face-to-face weaning food intervention in Kwara state, Nigeria
This paper reports on the evaluation of a pilot intervention which used nutrition education techniques to introduce a fortified, home-prepared weaning food (eko ilera, or 'pap for health') in 12 communities in Kwara State, Nigeria, from June to August, 1988. The recipe added toasted cowpea flour, red palm oil, and sugar to increase the energy and protein density of the traditional maize or sorghum starch porridge used for weaning from 38 to 85 kc…
Feeding practices and prevalence of hand‐feeding of infants and young children in Kwara State, Nigeria
A survey questionnaire was administered to a representative sample of mothers of infants and young children less than three years of age in the seven Yoruba speaking local government areas (LGA) of Kwara State, Nigeria, to obtain information on children's feeding practices in relation to their ages, site of residence, and selected family characteristics. Hand‐feeding of a dilute, fermented maize or sorghum pap was reported to be very common in th…

A nutrition education program was undertaken in Kwara State, Nigeria to improve infant feeding practices and nutritional status of weaning-aged children. A series of ethnographic, market survey, epidemiological, dietary, clinical, and communications research studies were implemented to develop a culturally acceptable, yet nutritionally adequate, weaning food. A premise of the project was that the development and introduction of any new weaning fo…

Breast-feeding pattern in an urban Nigerian community
The paper examines the pattern of breast-feeding among women still in their prime childbearing ages (15–35 years) in Ilorin, the capital city of Kwara state in Nigeria. While breast-feeding is still a common practice among urban women, there is wide variation in the duration of breast-feeding depending on the socioeconomic characteristics of the mothers. Mother's education and father's education have very strong negative associations with duratio…
Desired family size and its determinants among urban Nigerian women
This paper proposes and carries out a two-stage analysis of the determinants of desired family size, using data gathered from a sample of women in the city of Ilorin, Nigeria. The analysis first focuses on differences between women who report numerical family size desires and those who report nonnumerical desires. Findings suggest that there are important differences between these two groups, but there is little variation in the actual number rep…

Contraceptive knowledge and attitudes in urban Ilorin, Nigeria
Examination of the effect of various socioeconomic, cultural and demographic characteristics of married women in Ilorin, Nigeria, who are in their prime childbearing ages, on their contraceptive knowledge and on their attitudes towards modern contraception shows that only the woman's education, age and area of residence within the city have significant independent effects on contraceptive knowledge. More than 90% of the women interviewed thought …

Approximately 19 percent of ever-married women in the sample had used contraceptives at some time and approximately 6 percent were using at the time of the survey.
