Although national surveys indicate that EIBF remains suboptimal in Bangladesh, evidence on local variations and context\u2010specific determinants is limited. In particular, no study had specifically examined EIBF and its associated factors among mothers in Noakhali, a coastal district with diverse socioeconomic and healthcare characteristics. Hence, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and determinants of EIBF among mothers in Noakhali, Bangladesh.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted from November 2018 and June 2019 at Noakhali General Hospital, Bangladesh.
