    Background: Breast milk is the natural source of nutrition for all infants and is found to be themost effective strategy to improve child survival especially in developing countries. It bringssignificant benefits for the nutritional, physiological and psychological health in the early yearsof a child and throughout the life span but yet very few of the world’s infants are actually fedaccording to WHO/UNICEF recommendation. Breastfeeding practice is influenced by its intention to do so which is often a strong predictor of both initiation and duration ofbreastfeeding. Objective: To assess breastfeeding intention and its associated factors among nulliparous femaleyouth at college of Business and Economics of Addis Ababa University, 2016 Method: A quantitative Descriptive cross-sectional study design was employed. Simple randomsampling technique was used to select programs from the college and the estimated sample sizewas allocated proportionally across the selected programs. Then the study participants from eachprogram were selected by simple random sampling. Data was collected using pre-testedstructured questionnaire. The data were entered into Epi data and analyzed by SPSS windowsoftware. Descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution and measure of central tendencyand variability (mean and standard deviation) were computed. Binary and multiple logisticregressions were used to identify association between dependent and independent variables. Result: -Two hundred seventeen (51.7 %) of the participants had intention to breastfeed a futurechild. Good breastfeeding knowledge [Adjusted OR=4.9 (95% C.I: 2.7, 9.0)], positive attitudetowards breastfeeding [Adjusted OR=7.7 (95% C.I: 4.2, 14.0)], supportive subjectivenorm[Adjusted OR=2.9 (95% C.I: 1.2 , 7.1)], prior breastfeeding exposure[Adjusted OR=5.3(95% C.I: 2.9, 9.6)] and having heard information about the importance of breastfeeding fromsources like mass media[Adjusted OR=2.4 (95% C.I: (1.3, 4.5)] had significant association withparticipants breastfeeding intention. Conclusion and Recommendation: -Half of the participants were with future intention tobreastfeed. Breastfeeding knowledge, Attitude, prior exposure, Subjective norm, year in collegeand having heard information about breastfeeding from sources like mass media were found tobe associated with breastfeeding intention in this study. Different strategies should be plannedand implement to protect, promote and support BF in the nulliparous young population.
