Then, the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed, and identify factors associated with infant care practice with P-value less than 0.05 were taken as statistically significant. Result: A total of 361 mothers were included in this study with response rates of 99.7%. 47.73% had good infant care practice.
