---

Key health issues for women of reproductive age include problems concerning sexuality and reproduction. Sexuality is not merely about sex, but about the right of women to make choices and decisions related to sexual behavior and practices, relationships, breastfeeding, contraception and abortion. This study will examine the various health facilities, services care which are available, in particular those which influence breastfeeding practices. A combination of qualitative and quantitative data collection methods were used in this study. In the quantitative method, a questionnaire survey was conducted following preliminary analysis of the data collected through focus group discussions (FGDs). The methods employed for qualitative data collection included focus group discussions, informal and in-depth interviews and participant observation. The sample group in the peri-urban area included pregnant women, mothers with babies less than 2 years old, a few husbands and a small number of women of reproductive age. This study found that there the mother delivers the baby influences their motivation to breastfeed. Although the respondents mentioned that breastfeeding is a good practice for feeding baby, however, they lack of knowledge about breastfeeding. This condition is closely related to poor counseling about breastfeeding.
