Conclusion: Our mothers and women are satisfactory prepared to change their attitude and get developed in this regard. Breast milk anti infective factors which prevent many childhood diseases but majority respondents does not know the relationship. If mothers aware about proper feeding practice during antenatal period, trends of different childhood diseases. particularly antenatal, intranatal and postnatal health problems will be reduced. Mass education about antenatal, intranatal and postnatal care of the baby is also important which reduce the under five mortality and morbidity.
study period. Male to female ratio was 1:1.8. The majority of the patient was in second decade (48.3%). Pediatric patient (<16 years) represented 30.4% of total study population. 151 (62.9%) had histopathology findings consistent with acute appendicitis. 74 (30.8%) were reported as recurrent appendicitis which is higher in number in compare to other study. Histological findings of recurrent appendicitis in female sex were 36.4%. The overall negative appendectomy (normal appendix in
histopathology) rate was 6.2%. In pediatric age group negative appendectomy rate was 17.8% (P<0.001) which is significant. The observed high rate of recurrent appendicitis in female can be
reduced by early referral to surgeon for evaluation of abdominal pain, utilizing combined clinical and diagnostic tools. A period of watchful active observation before deciding for surgery in pediatric age
group can reduce negative appendectomy rate in this age group.
