ABSTRACT BACKGROUD. Malnutrition is one of the leading causes of under- five mortality at a rate of 54% and exclusive breastfeeding is the only intervention currently being adopted to reverse the situation. The study aimed at assessing the knowledge, attitude and practices of mothers towards exclusive breastfeeding among mothers attending Kampala International University Teaching Hospital Young Child Clinic. METHOD. The study was conducted using descriptive cross-sectional quantitative method and 40 respondents were selected using simple random sampling method. RESULTS On assessment of knowledge 95% of mothers knew some information on EBF, only 26.3% had adequate knowledge on EBF, 65% had ever had EBF counseling and majority 46.2% got counseling from multipurpose health workers. Majority 95% of the mothers wanted to exclusively breastfeed their babies until six months. Determining the practice, 85% initiated breastfeeding within the first hour of birth, but only 16.7% exclusively breastfed until six months. CONCLUSION Breastfeeding attitude was good but knowledge and practices were poor, as only 26.3% of 95% of mothers had adequate knowledge on EBF and only 16.7% EBF until six months. Therefore there is need to put in place strategies that target improving maternal knowledge and practices on EBF.
