While utilization of breastmilk substitutes is low among mothers of young children in Nepal, prelacteal feeding of breastmilk substitutes is highly prevalent in Kathmandu Valley. Reported recommendations from health professionals to use breastmilk substitutes are common (over 40%) and are associated with prelacteal feeding among Nepal mothers included in this study. Provision of lactation management training to health workers and monitoring their practices regularly could strengthen breastfeeding counselling, aid in reducing high rates of prelacteal feeding and contribute to improved infant feeding practices
