Background: Colostrum is yellow to orange color, thick and sticky first milk produced by the mammary glands which was universally recommend to feeding for every newborn. It has Laxative effect and contains bioactive immune factors which protect a neonate against a variety of infections and allergic diseases. Globally, around 5.6 million children died before reaching their fifth birthday, of those, 2.6 million (46%) died in the first 30 days of life. Approximately 7000 newborns died every day, most of which occurred within first 7 days after birth, with about 1 million dying on the first day and close to 1 million dying within the next 6 days in 2016. Various factors can effectively reduce neonatal mortality to greater levels early initiation of Colostrum feeding and exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life is one of them which prevent around 20% newborn deaths and 13% under-five deaths. Even those few studies conducted on Colostrum feeding in Ethiopia there is no sufficient information in our study area. There for this study will try to fill the information gaps and serve as implementation guide and reference for stake holder and other researchers.
Objective: To assess knowledge, attitude and practices of colostrum feeding among postnatal mothers in Harar Town governmental Hospital Harar, Eastern Ethiopia 2019.
Methods and Material: Health facility based cross sectional study was condcted on 306 women attending delivery service in Harar Town Jugal and Hiwot Fana Specialized university Hospitals. Sample was allocated proportionately and study participant was selected by systematic random sampling. Collected and checked data were entered in to Epi Data software version 3.02 and exported and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Mean value were used to classify as good or Poor knowledge, altitude and practice on colostrum feeding. Finding was summarized and presented in different forms of diagrams and tables and statement.
Result: The overall prevalence of good knowledge, altitude and practice on this study was 96 %, 89 % and 70 % respectively. Majority 65.5 % and 94 % of the mother replied that colostrum feeding is important for growth and development of baby and it protect disease from their new born. Few 8% provide other than colostrum after birth due to different reasons.
Conclusion and Recommendation: Even if the overall prevalence of good knowledge. Altitude and practice was higher on this study few clients does not now initiation time of breast and also provide other substance instead of colostrum and discard it due to fear of abdominal cramp and their believed that it was not clear. Therefore responsible bodies and stake holders need to work for alleviating such misconception and information gaps.
Colostrum is yellow to orange color, thick and sticky first milk produce by the mammary glands. Rich in proteins, calories, vitamin A and sodium chloride, but contains lower amounts of lipids, fat and potassium than normal milk [1, 2]. World Health Organization and United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund Universally recommend colostrum feeding for every newborn [3] Newborns have premature digestive system so that Laxative effect of colostrum encourages passage of baby’s first stool, meconium and it will helps to clear excess bilirubin which is produced in large quantities at birth that may causes jaundice [4].The first milk (colostrum) contains bioactive immune factors which protect a neonate against a variety of infections and allergic diseases [5]. It contain various Immuno Globulin like IgA, IgG and IgM which helps to protects the mucous membranes in the throat, lungs, ear and intestines of the infant. [6,7]. In Ethiopia, colostrum were seen as abnormal milk. Many societies considering colostrum as it cause abdominal problems to the newborn and 50% up to 79% of mothers discarded colostrum to decrease this effect [8]
Globally, around 5.6 million children died before reaching their fifth birthday, of those, 2.6 million (46%) died in the first 30 days of life. [9]. Approximately 7000 newborns died every day, most of which occurred within first 7 days after birth, with about 1 million dying on the first day and close to 1 million dying within the next 6 days in 2016 [10]. Most of the neonates died in Southern Asia (39%), followed by sub-Saharan Africa (38%). Half of all newborn deaths occurred in the following five countries: India, Pakistan, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ethiopia [9]. Various factors can effectively reduce neonatal mortality to greater levels; early initiation of breastfeeding is one of them [11]. Early initiation of Colostrum feeding and exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life prevents around 20% newborn deaths and 13% under-five deaths [12]. It can also reduce mortality due to neonatal infections (sepsis, pneumonia, tetanus, and diarrhea) [13] which contribute 36% in neonatal deaths from all causes, and preterm birth an additional 27% [14]. Every day, as many as 4,000 infants and young children die worldwide because they do not get colostrum with in the first hour after birth [15] UNICEF global databases in 2016 indicates the rates of early initiation of colostrum feeding are extremely low i.e.(within one hour of giving birth) initiation of colostrum feeding about 17% in Eastern Europe and Central Asian countries and 33% in Asia-Pacific. About 50% are in Latin America, the Caribbean, East and North Africa. 43% of newborns in the developing world are put to the breast within one hour of birth. Regional averages range from a high of 54% in Eastern and Southern Africa to a low of 39% in South Asia and West and Central Africa [16]. Several factors could cause neonatal death among those, one of the main causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity is inadequate breast feeding. [17] Ethiopia has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world and inappropriate neonatal feeding is primary factor. [18]. Even those few studies conducted on Colostrum feeding in Ethiopia; there is no sufficient information in our study area. There for this study will try to fill the information gaps. This study is also needed because colostrum feeding play a vital role in preventing under five nutritional problem as well as neonatal death in relation to breast feeding.
This study will identify knowledge, altitude and practice of postnatal mother on Colostrum feeding and it shows how far the practice is exit, the major gaps and what measurement should be taken to improve Colostrum feeding practice in the study area as well as other similar settings.
The ability to identify gaps that exists on knowledge, attitude, and practices toward colostrum feeding will help health care workers, stakeholders, Programmers /planner, governmental and Non-governmental organization and responsible bodies for having relevant information which helps for timely planning, interventions and established appropriate strategies to improve, promote and maintain Colostrum breast milk feeding which would lead to better neonatal outcomes. The study will also serve as a reference data for other researcher.

Majority 271(92%) of the mother provide colostrum to the baby after birth while 22 ( 8%) did not provide it and their main reason 10 (45%) was fear of abdominal cramping and instead of clostrum majority 14 (5%) provide cow’s milk.(Table 4 )
In this study out of 293 postnatal mothers 96 % had good knowledge this finding is greater than study conducted in East Gojjam zone Amhara regional state of Ethiopia which was 76.72 % have good knowledge about colostrum breast milk (19). This difference might be due to difference in socio-cultural and study period as well sample size.
In this study majority 96 % of the mother was head about colostrum feeding and there major source of information was 52 % from health institution this finding is higher while it compared with study conducted in Nepal which was 74 % and 12 % (20) This difference might be due to sample size and socio -demographic variation.
