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.

This study aimed to identify the factors associated with EIBF among mothers in Rajshahi district, Bangladesh.

This study was conducted from January to March, 2019. The EIBF was measured by a principal question, “Did you provide your breast milk to your newborn within one hour after delivery?” Frequency distribution, Chi-square test and multivariable binary logistic regression model were utilized in this study for getting prevalence and associated factors of EIBF respectively. Results: This study revealed that the prevalence of EIBF among mothers in Rajshahi district was 88.4%. Multivariable logistic model provided eight factors associated with EIBF: (i) husbands’ education level, (ii) husbands’ occupation, (iii) family monthly income, (iv) mothers’ age, (v) mothers’ BMI, (vi) place of delivery, (vii) planned pregnancy and (viii) mothers taking advice regarding the benefit of breastfeeding during their pregnancy. Conclusions: This study identified several modifiable factors associated with EIBF. The customs, culture and other characteristics are almost same across the country.

Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study were to assess early initiation of breastfeeding and associated factors among mothers of aged less than 12 months children in the rural eastern zone, Tigray, Ethiopia. Results Totally 803 mother–child pairs were participated in this study with a response rate of 99.25%. Out of this, 787 mothers had ever breastfed their children. Four hundred eighty-seven (61.9%) mothers initiated breastfeeding within 1 h after they gave birth. Mothers having an educational status of primary education were about 2 times more likely to initiate breastfeeding within 1 h of birth [AOR: 1.99, 95% CI 1.36–2.92] and those mothers having secondary education and above were 3.23 times more likely to start breastfeeding [AOR = 3.23, 95% CI 1.99–5.26]. Mothers who had mistimed pregnancy were 58% less likely to initiate breastfeeding within 1 h of birth [AOR: 0.42, 95% CI 0.27–0.65]. On the other hand, mothers who had delivered their child vaginally were 4.6 times more likely to start early initiation of breast feeding [AOR: 4.59, 95% CI 1.99–10.56].
