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.

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.

Initiation Of Breastfeeding

Abstract BackgroundThe rates for the delayed initiation of breastfeeding in Uganda remain unacceptably high and reasons for this are not well understood. We aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors for the delayed initiation of breastfeeding in Eastern Uganda. MethodsThis study employed a cross-sectional study design. A total of 404 mother-infant pairs were enrolled onto the study between July and November, 2020 at Mbale regional referral hospital (MRRH). They were interviewed on socio-demographic related, infant-related, labour and delivery characteristics using a structured questionnaire. We estimated adjusted odds ratios using multivariable logistic regression models.Results. The rate of delayed initiation of breastfeeding was 70% (n=283/404, 95% CI: 65.3% – 74.4%). The factors that were associated with delayed initiation of breastfeeding were maternal charateristics including: being single (AOR=0.37; 95%CI: 0.19 – 0.74), receiving antenatal care for less than 3 times while pregnant (AOR=1.85, 95%CI: 1.07 – 3.19) undergoing a caesarean section (AOR= 2.07; 95%CI: 1.3 – 3.19) and having a difficult labour (AOR=2.05; 95%CI: 1.25 – 3.35). Infant characteristics included: having a health issue at birth (AOR=9.8; 95%CI: 2.94 – 32.98).Conclusions:The proportion of infants that do not achieve early initiation of breastfeeding in this setting remains high. Women at high risk of delaying the initiation of breastfeeding include those who: deliver by caesarean section, do not receive antenatal care and have labour difficulties. Infants at risk of not achieving early initiation of breastfeeding include those that have a health issue at birth. We recommend increased support for women who undergo caesarean section in the early initiation of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding support can be initiated in the recovery room after caesarean delivery or in the operating theatre. The importance of antenatal care attendance should be emphasized during health education classes.
