ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the prevalence and factors associated with the occurrence of skin-to-skin contact and the early initiation of breastfeeding in a Baby-friendly hospital in northeastern Brazil. Method: cross-sectional study, composed of pregnant women, in which delivery occurred at the Baby-friendly Hospital. Data were collected between April 2017 and May 2019 through forms containing sociodemographic variables, obstetric history and data on the delivery and birth of the newborn. The possible associated factors were analyzed through the chi-square test, adopting the significance level of 0.05. Result: among the 727 pregnant women, skin-to-skin contact occurred in 83.6% and breastfeeding in 58.3%. Full-term birth, birth weight ≥ 2500g, Apgar index >7 in the first minute, vaginal delivery, 6 or more prenatal consultations and years of study >9 were the factors associated with the practice of skin-to-skin contact. Regarding breastfeeding, in addition to the first five factors related to skin-to-skin contact, a statistical relationship with the beginning of prenatal care in the first trimester, skin-to-skin contact and multiparity was also evidenced. Conclusions: this study found a prevalence rate of skin-to-skin contact appropriate to a Baby-friendly Hospital and a direct association of this practice with breastfeeding.

Abstract BackgroundSouth Sulawesi in 2018 was declared as the region with the fifth-highest position of stunting children. increasing the risk of excess nutrition and non-communicable diseases.ObjectivesTo investigate The early breastfeeding initiation practices dan stunting children in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia.MethodsThe surveys were designed by a cross-sectional study. The sample size proportional to children 0–50 months. The household was eligible for inclusion in the survey if they contained a child aged 0–23 month and if the primary caregiver was present for interviews. Sampling technique determined by cluster sampling for each district.ResultsThe distribution of EBI practices in all districts/cities in South Sulawesi is between 14.93% to 90.97 %. EBI status is the majority of EBI 55.2%, duration with the highest percentage of ½ to 1 hour 48.2%. The Suckling process is good at 18.2% while others don't know. Timing is generally < 15 minutes 36.9%. Nutritional status data were known to severely stunting 6.1% and moderately stunting 15.6%.ConclusionEBI practices are more in urban than rural.

Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF), defined as putting newborns to the breast within 1 h of birth, may have important benefits for both infant and mother. The aim of this study was to assess EIBF practices and its determinants in northwestern Romania. This cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2019, based on a sample of 1399 mothers of children aged less than 24 months. The sample was recruited from the community, from 29 cities and 41 communes distributed across the six counties of the northwestern region of Romania. Mothers responded by face-to-face interviews to a structured questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with EIBF. Only 24.3% of the mothers initiated breastfeeding within 1 h of birth. Delivering at a private hospital (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 5.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.87, 6.91), vaginal delivery (AOR: 4.39, 95% CI 3.29, 5.88), mother–newborn skin-to-skin contact for 1 h or more (AOR: 55.6, 95% CI 23.0, 134.2), and breastfeeding counseling during antenatal visits (AOR: 1.48, 95% CI 1.12, 1.97) were factors associated with increased likelihood of EIBF. Overall, the practice of EIBF was poor. Targeting modifiable factors associated with EIBF may be used to improve early initiation practice.

Initiation Of Breastfeeding

Background: Breastfeeding is an essential component of maternal and child health. It has been envisaged that early initiation and exclusive breastfeeding are two key factors, which prevent mortalities relating to newborn and infants, and is also a great source of health and wellbeing of the mother and child. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of early initiation of breastfeeding and the reasons for delay among postnatal mothers, in selected health centers in and around Chennai, Tamil Nadu.Methods: This hospital based cross sectional study was carried out among 450 post natal mothers who delivered in primary, secondary and tertiary care government hospitals in Chennai and its peripheries. The participants were selected by two-stage sampling. A pre-tested structured interview schedule was used to elicit data regarding breastfeeding practices. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 21 software and results presented using descriptive and analytical statistics.Results: A majority of the study participants (84.2%) belonged to 21–30 years age group and 48% mothers had normal delivery while 52% had a caesarean section. The prevalence rate of early initiation of breastfeeding was 55.8%. The reasons for delay in early initiation of breastfeeding were found to be due to ignorance of the mother (28.2%), pain after delivery (27.2%), respiratory distress (11.1%) and low birth weight of babies (7.5%).Conclusions: This study emphasizes the need for an increased effort to propagate and popularize the concept of early initiation of breastfeeding among the community, especially to antenatal mothers.

Initiation Of Breastfeeding

Background: The practice of breast feeding is the best intervention in promoting child survival. The success depends on early initiation of breast feeding soon after birth. Globally a three fifth of new born wait for more than one hour to begin breast feeding, despite the fact that the practice will extremely reduce neonatal infections and maternal postpartum complications. In this context, the objectives of the study was to estimate the prevalence of early initiation of breastfeeding and barriers in non-initiation of early breast feeding among recently delivered mothers at Chennai.Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Zone VI of Chennai. Four hundred and fifty (450) delivered a term, live baby with in past 1 year were selected by using simple random technique. Pre-tested structured interview schedule was used to collect data.Results: Among the study group, 54.4% mothers initiated breast feeding within first one hour after delivery. Delay in handing over the baby to the mother (43.9%), maternal complications (19%), neonatal complications (14.1%), Caesarean section (17.6%), and misconception of insufficiency of milk secretion (5.4%) were barriers in non-initiation of early breast feeding.Conclusions: The study explains the prevalence and importance of early initiation of breast feeding. Avoidance of pre lacteal feeds. Promotions of breast milk substitutes and commercial products should be restricted. Co-ordination between the health care providers and mothers must be strengthened. Maternal education plays a vital role in clarifying the ignorance and misconceptions. Emotional and social support influences mothers to initiate it early.
