One in five women does not know ORS packets or pre-packaged liquids. Maternal age, women's education, working status, household wealth index, household size Media exposure, ANC visit, and region were significant predictors of knowledge of ORS packets or pre-packaged liquids. Therefore, it is better to give special emphasis to young age, women who had no formal education and who have no media exposure, poor households, those women who have not currently working as well as those who have a household size of greater than six. Furthermore, it is critical to increase ANC visits to improve knowledge of ORS packets or pre-packaged liquids.
