Abstract: Breast milk is the only food for the neonate with vast benefits. It not only protects infants from diarrhoea, pneumonia and malnutrition, but in the long run also protects from asthma, diabetes and chronic intestinal diseases. Breast feeding is recognised as an essential practice to ensure the health of child and mother. World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended initiation of breastfeeding within half an hour of birth and minimum 30 minutes of uninterrupted skin to skin contact between mother and infants. (Wilson David, 2011). Objectives of the study are to assess the pre-test & post-test knowledge score of primi LSCS delivery mothers regarding exclusive breast feeding, to evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme regarding exclusive breast feeding among Primi LSCS delivery mothers and to find out association between post-test knowledge score with selected demographic variables. Methodology was quantitative research approach pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design considered to be appropriate to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme regarding exclusive breast feeding among Primi LSCS delivery mothers. Sample size is 50 LSCS delivery mother selected by Purposive sampling technique. The result shows that the post ?test score of mean (18.64) among primi LSCS mother was higher than the pre - test score of mean (7.88) after video assisted teaching program, and it was found to be statistically significant as evident from the obtained ?t? value (14.310) at 0.05 level of significance. The Calculated t value (14.310) is greater than the table value (2.25). So, the hypothesis (H1) is accepted. Hence the video assisted teaching program was effective to improve knowledge regarding exclusive breast feeding among primi LSCS mothers. There was no significant association between post ? test level knowledge score with the selected demographic variables except religion. There was significant association between post?test level of knowledge regarding exclusive breast feeding with the religion. So, the hypothesis (H2) is accepted.
