Knowledge of neonatal danger signs, care seeking practice and associated factors among postpartum mothers at public health facilities in Ambo town, Central Ethiopia.

One-fifth 82 (20.3%) of postpartum mothers have good knowledge about NDSs. Only 60.5% of mothers whom their baby developed danger-sign sought medical care for their baby from health facility immediately. Mothers who have diploma/more education (AOR = 5.25, CI 1.48-18.59), whose current baby developed danger-signs (AOR = 3.18 CI 1.06-9.52), having PNC follow-up (AOR = 2.29, CI 1.24-4.24) and receiving counseling on newborn care after delivery (AOR = 1.78, CI 1.04-3.04) were factors associated with having good knowledge on NDSs. In this study the level of postpartum mother's knowledge on NDSs and care-seeking practice were low.
