Regional differences continue to occur, but China's breastfeeding regulations are still not up to scratch. Nevertheless, there aren't many disaggregated statistics available for several provinces. With the use of a representative survey, the prevalence of breastfeeding and the factors affecting breastfeeding practises in Shanghai were evaluated. According on the World Health Organization's parameters for assessing infant and early child feeding practises, the questionnaire was developed. A total of two year olds and younger were investigated, and among them were infants less than six months 60.3% of infants less than six months were exclusively breastfed, according to the statistics. According to the findings of the univariate regression analysis, the rate was influenced by a number of factors, including those related to an individual's characteristics, their socioeconomic situation, and their career.
