The questionnaires were collected from the mothers whose children were at the public, private and medical day care center in Chiayi City. One hundred and fifty questionnaires were sent and 100 questionnaires were collected. The recovery rate was 66.6%. There were 85 valid questionnaires. Therefore, the recovery rate of effective questionnaire was 56.7%. The study found that the percentage of infants < 0-5 months of age exclusively breastfed in Chiayi City was 82.5%, which was much higher than the average in Taiwan and other countries, and even higher than the global target set by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2025 (50%). In the diet habits of breastfeeding mothers, due to busy office works, the frequency of eating out for breakfast was almost seven times a week. However, their diets were fairly balanced and diversed. In the life styles of breastfeeding mothers, most mothers did not do much exercise due to the busy works. Furthermore, taking care of the children, finishing the houseworks, and some office works led to no good rest after a busy day at the office. All of these caused physical and psychological discomfort. This study suggests that you can learn how to breastfeed your child through many assistances, such as friends and family, the doctor's advice, the information on the web. Pay more attention to your diet habits, relax yourselves, not to worry too much, and always keep yourselves in a good mood.
