The present study was undertaken to assess the pattern of reported neonatal  morbidity and the care‐seeking behaviour for neonates in rural Bangladesh.  Data were collected from 1511 women who had live births during January 1996–August  1998 in four rural subdistricts, which are the field sites of the Operations  Research Project of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research,  Bangladesh. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information from  the mothers who were interviewed in their homes. Forty‐nine per cent  of the neonates were reported to have suffered from some kind of morbidity.  Fever was the most common morbidity reported in the study population (21 per  cent), followed by breathing difficulty (11 per cent). Birth order, complications  during pregnancy, and/or delivery and death of a sibling were found to  be significantly associated with reported neonatal morbidity. Eighty‐seven  per cent of the mothers sought care for their newborns. Some were taken to  several different providers, the commonest being homeopaths (38 per cent)  and village doctors (37 per cent). Seventeen per cent were taken to trained  providers, and only 5 per cent to government health facilities. Seeking care  from trained providers was found to be associated with the gender of the neonate,  birth order, antenatal care of the mother from trained providers, father's  education and monthly expenditure of the family. The results of this study  suggest that efforts should be made to raise community awareness regarding  neonatal morbidity, the importance of seeking care from trained personnel  and the availability of services for these conditions.
