This was a comparative study between the WHOP of BRAC {Bogra Sadar thana) and a non program {Joypurhat) area.

Mothers are loosing the contraceptive benefits of breastfeeding very soon after delivery and are at risk of subsequent conception. As reliance on lactational infertility alone is not advisable due to the early weaning and partial breast feeding, the program should increasingly promote the use of appropriate contraceptive methods from the early postpartum period. 2019-11-11T10:15:07Z 2019-11-11T10:15:07Z 1996-07 Research report Gazi, R., Karim, F., Chowdhury, A., & Mahmud, S.
