Breastfeeding (BF) is the normal way of providing young infants with the nutrients needs for healthy growth and development. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that infants be exclusively breastfed for the first six months, followed by breastfeeding along with complementary foods for up to two years of age or beyond. Aim: this study aimed to assess the Saudis women practices towards breast feeding and determine factors associated with low rate of breastfeeding. Methods: Descriptive explanatory study design was used. Three parts structured interview questionnaire was developed to collect information about sociodemographic data, history of previous breast feeding and causes of lack of breastfeeding. A total sample of 193 women who agreed to participate in the study was collected from shopping malls. Results: The study results show that the mean age was (33 ± 5.73), and 70.5% of respondents had a university education. More than one half (52.5%) of them initiate breastfeeding early hours after labor and nearly one third (29.7%) of them continuing breastfeeding for one month. The findings also revealed that (49.5%) of participants stated that insufficient breast milk was the cause for lack breastfeeding. Conclusion: It was concluded that (71.3%) of Saudi-women breastfed their babies less than six months of age and the most mentioned causes for lack breastfeeding were insufficient milk, pain/illness and work conditions.
