Abstract Background Timely initiation of breastfeeding is putting the newborn to the breast within 1 h of birth. Its practice can prevent neonatal and under-5 mortality. This study aims to assess the prevalence and factors associated with timely initiation of breastfeeding among mothers in Ghana. Methods We used data from the 2017–2018 Ghana multiple indicator cluster survey and our analysis was restricted to 15,305 mothers who had a live birth within 2 years. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the factors associated with timely initiation of breastfeeding whilst adjusting for potential confounders, and accounted for clustering, stratification, and sample weights. Results The prevalence of timely initiation of breastfeeding was 51.3% (95% CI 48.1, 54.6%). Mothers who received antenatal care were twice as likely to timely initiate breastfeeding compared to mothers who did not receive antenatal care (Adjusted prevalence odds ratios [aPOR] 2.01, 95% CI 1.03, 3.95). Mothers who were assisted by a skilled attendant at birth had 90% higher odds of timely initiation of breastfeeding compared to mothers who were not assisted by a skilled attendant (aPOR 1.90, 95% CI 1.41, 2.55). Mothers who delivered by caesarean section had 76% lower odds of timely initiation of breastfeeding compared to mothers who had a vaginal delivery (aPOR 0.24, 95, 95% CI 0.16, 0.36). Mothers who had planned their pregnancy had 45% higher odds of timely initiation of breastfeeding compared to mothers who had an unplanned pregnancy (aPOR 1.45, 95% CI 1.09, 1.92). There were also 84% and 55% higher odds of timely initiation of breastfeeding among mothers who perceived their baby was large (aPOR 1.84, 95% CI 1.32, 2.58), and of average size (aPOR 1.55, 95% CI 1.11, 2.17) at birth respectively, compared to mothers who perceived their baby was small. Conclusions Interventions to increase timely initiation of breastfeeding should provide breastfeeding support to mothers who have had a caesarean section or small sized babies, prevent unplanned pregnancies, and promote antenatal care attendance among pregnant women.

Abstract Background Timely initiation of breastfeeding is putting the newborn baby to the breast within 1 h of birth. Its practice can prevent neonatal and under-5 mortality. This study aims to assess the prevalence and factors associated with timely initiation of breastfeeding among mothers in Ghana. Methods We used data from the 2017–2018 Ghana multiple indicator cluster survey and our analysis was restricted to 3466 mothers who had a live birth within 2 years. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the factors associated with timely initiation of breastfeeding whilst adjusting for potential confounders, and accounted for clustering, stratification, and sample weights. Results The prevalence of timely initiation of breastfeeding was 52.3% (95% CI 49.7%, 54.9%). Mothers who were assisted by a skilled attendant at birth had 65% higher odds of timely initiation of breastfeeding compared to mothers who were not assisted by a skilled attendant (adjusted prevalence odds ratio [aPOR] 1.65; 95% CI 1.28, 2.13). Mothers who delivered by Caesarean section had 74% lower odds of timely initiation of breastfeeding compared to mothers who had vaginal delivery (aPOR 0.26; 95% CI 0.18, 0.36). Mothers who had planned their pregnancy had 31% higher odds of timely initiation of breastfeeding compared to mothers who had an unplanned pregnancy (aPOR 1.31; 95% CI 1.05, 1.63). There were also 74% and 51% higher odds of timely initiation of breastfeeding among mothers who perceived their baby was large (aPOR 1.74; 95% CI 1.34, 2.26), and of average size (aPOR 1.51, 95% CI 1.16, 1.97) at birth respectively, compared to mothers who perceived their baby was small. Conclusions Interventions to increase timely initiation of breastfeeding should provide breastfeeding support to mothers who have had a Caesarean section, small sized babies and unplanned pregnancies, and to promote birthing by skilled birth attendants.

Abstract Background: Timely initiation of breastfeeding is defined as the initiation of breastfeeding within one hour after childbirth. Despite breastfeeding has benefit for both mothers and infants, globally breastfeeding within one hour of life in the world was less than half. In least developed countries (53%), Eastern and southern Africa (60%), Ethiopia (73%) of infant breastfed within one hour. The aim of this study was to assess timely initiation of breastfeeding and associated factors among mothers who have infant less than six months of age in Gunchire town, Ethiopia. Methods : The study was conducted from May 6 to 20, 2019 by using face to face interview of structured questionnaire. Community based cross-sectional study was employed on 333 women. The study participants were selected by Simple random sampling techniques. The data were coded, entered, cleaned and analyzed by SPSS with windows version 21.0. Binary and multivariate logistic regression statistical model were used. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI will be computed to see the strength of association. Results: In this study the magnitude of timely initiation of breastfeeding was 80.5%. Governmental employed mothers (AOR=2.914, 95%CI: 1.139, 7.46), Antenatal care visit (AOR=5.99, 95% CI:1.29, 27.81), Baby skin to skin contact (AOR=2.4, 95%CI:1.092, 5.34), Vaginal delivery (AOR=5.82 95%CI:1.68, 20.14) Institutional delivery (AOR=5.5, 95CI%:1.66, 18.3), Good knowledge of breastfeeding (AOR=4.02, 95%CI:1.04, 15.59) and Breast disease (AOR=0.24, CI95%: 0.08, 0.73) were significantly associated with timely initiation of breastfeeding. Conclusion: More than third quarter of the respondent mothers timely initiated breastfeeding. Being governmental employed, Antenatal care visit on current baby, skin to skin contact, vaginal delivery, institutional delivery, breast disease and knowledge of mothers about breastfeeding were significantly associated with timely initiation of breastfeeding. Recommendation: We would like to recommend Enamore woreda health office to provide information to give further education about breastfeeding. To Gunchire primary Hospital staffs work at maternal and child health clinic recommend them to provide appropriate services and stimulate the mothers to initiate breastfeeding, skin to skin contact enhancing within first hour of birth. Further study on timely initiation of breastfeeding at institution level is suggested. Key word: Timely, Breastfeeding

AbstractBackgroundThis study examines the factors associated with skilled birth attendants at delivery among married adolescent girls in Nigeria.MethodsThe study was a secondary data analysis of the fifth round of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey conducted between September 2016 and January 2017. Married adolescent girls aged 15–19 y who had live births in the last 2 y preceding the survey were included in the analysis. We performed univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses with a skilled birth attendant (doctor, nurse or midwife) at delivery as the outcome variable and sociodemographic, male partner- and maternal health-related factors as explanatory variables.ResultsOf the 789 married adolescent girls, 387 (27% [95% CI=22.8–30.7]) had a skilled birth attendant at delivery. In the adjusted model, adolescent girls who were aged ≥18 y (ref: <18 y), primiparous (ref: multiparous), had antenatal care (ANC) provided by skilled healthcare providers (ref: no ANC), belonged to at least the poor and middle wealth index quintiles (ref: poorest), and resided in the south west zone (ref: north central), independently had a significantly higher likelihood of having a skilled birth attendant at delivery.ConclusionsInterventions that will reduce pregnancy in younger adolescent girls, poverty, and increase ANC provided by skilled attendants, are likely to improve deliveries assisted by skilled birth attendants among married adolescent girls in Nigeria.
