520 |a The study examined socio-cultural factors as predictor of exclusive breastfeeding among nursing mothers attending health facilities in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. In this study, 737 registered nursing mothers were used as sample. Data were collected through questionnaire. The result of the study showed that education (B=.196; p<0.05) and occupation (B=.158; p<0.05) individually contributed significantly to exclusive breastfeeding. It was recommended among others that infant feeding education should be organized for mothers. Also, there must be enforcement of law that protects women from persecution for breast feeding at work place.
