Abstract Background Despite the substantial efforts to improve timely/early initiation of breastfeeding, avoidance of colostrum, and delayed initiation of breastfeeding remains a big challenge in developing countries. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the trends of early breastfeeding rate over time based on the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS). Methods Secondary data analysis was conducted based on the Ethiopian Demographic Health Surveys (EDHSs) conducted in 2005, 2011, and 2016. A total weighted sample of 9, 111, 10,106, and 8564 in 2005, 2011, and 2016 respectively were included for analysis. Trend and Logistic based decomposition analysis technique was used for analyzing the trends of early breastfeeding initiation over time and factors contributing to the change in early breastfeeding initiation rate. STATA 15 was employed for data management and analyses. All analyses presented in this paper were weighted for the sampling probabilities and non-response. Result Among children age less than 5 years the rate of early breastfeeding initiation rate overtime was increased from 70.5% in 2005 to 72.7% in 2016. The highest rate of improvement was seen in the second phase of the study (2011–2016) while it shows a decline in the first phase (2005–2011) from 70.5 to 55.1%. The decomposition analysis indicated that about half of the overall change in early breastfeeding initiation rate was due to the difference in women’s composition. Particularly, an increase in health facility delivery and vaginal delivery was a significant predictor of the increasing rate of early breastfeeding initiation over the surveys. Conclusion Early initiation of breastfeeding slightly increasing over the last 10 years in Ethiopia. Half of the overall increase in the early initiation of breastfeeding was due to the change in compositional characteristics of women over 10 years in Ethiopia. Change in the composition of women according to health facility delivery and vaginal delivery were the major source of the increase in early breastfeeding initiation over time. Public interventions including promoting health facility delivery of women for further improvements of early breastfeeding initiation should be needed.

Abstract Background Initiation of breastfeeding within one hour from birth is one of the five key essential newborn care messages, implemented along with birth preparedness package since 2008. This study aimed to determine the trend of early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) and to assess the effect of health facility delivery on EIBF in Nepal. Methods We analyzed the data from the last four nationally representative Nepal Demographic and Health Surveys (NDHS) conducted in 2001,2006,2011 and 2016. Data on the early initiation of breastfeeding was obtained from the mothers of infants born within 24 months prior to the survey. The explanatory variable was the place of delivery, dichotomized as either the health facility, or home delivery. Survey year had a significant interaction with the place of delivery. Multivariable logistic regression was conducted separately on pooled samples before (NDHS 2001 and 2006) and after (NDHS 2011 and 2016) the program implementation. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for EIBF was calculated after adjusting for predetermined covariates. Results The rate of EIBF increased by 26.5% points (from 32.8% in 2001 to 59.3% in 2016) among infants delivered in a health facility, compared to an increase by 17.1% points (from 29.9% to 47.0%) among home born infants. EIBF increased by 32.5% points before, compared to 49.7% points after BPP. Delivery in a health facility was associated with a higher odd of EIBF in later years (AOR2.3, 95% CI 2.0,2.8), but not in earlier years (AOR1.3, 95% CI 0.9,2.0). Delivery by caesarean section, first-born infant, and lack of maternal education were associated with a lower rate of EIBF in both periods. Conclusions Higher EIBF was associated with health facility delivery in Nepal, only after programmatic emphasis on essential newborn care messages. This implies the need for explicit focus on EIBF at birth, particularly when mother is less educated, primiparous or undergoing operative delivery. Key messages The rate of initiation of breastfeeding within an hour from birth is increasing in Nepal, with higher rates in health facility delivery, as shown by the recent four nationally representative surveys. Programmatic focus on essential newborn care messages may have contributed to significant association of higher rates of early initiation of breastfeeding when delivered in health facility.

Background: Timely initiation of breastfeeding has the potential to prevent 22% of neonatal deaths if breastfed within an hour after birth. Although breastfeeding is almost universal in Nepal, ranges of regional differences in timely initiation of breastfeeding have been documented. The aim of this study was to identify the prevalance and the determinants of early initiation of breastfeeding among disadvantaged ethnic women in Midwest Nepal. Methods: The data was obtained from a household survey of women who had their last child less than one year of age. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze respondents’ demographic, socioeconomic, obstetric and health services related characteristics. Determinants of timely initiation of breastfeeding were assessed using univariate analysis and further evaluated using multivariable logistic regression analysis.Results: Of 362 mothers, 65.5% initiated breastfeeding within one hour of childbirth. Mothers belonging to Tharu ethnic groups (aOR 1.788; 95% CI: 1.014, 3.152), health facility delivery (aOR 3.381; 95% CI: 1.795, 6.369) and mothers who were counseled on breastfeeding during ANC attendance (aOR 2.898; 95% CI: 1.038, 8.096) were more likely to initiate breastfeeding within the first hour of child birth. Conclusions: Almost two in every three mothers had initiated breastfeeding within one hour of childbirth. The factors influencing timely initiation of breastfeeding were Tharu ethnic mothers, health facility delivery and Ante Natal Care counseling. We need to aim at increasing institutional deliveries and counseling during ANC which may increase the early initiation of breastfeeding among disadvantaged ethnic groups.

Background: Breastfeeding is a well-established key of success to improve the outcome in neonates. Early initiation of breastfeeding in neonates refers to the provision of mother’s milk to their own babies as early as possible after delivery. Despite the established benefits of breastfeeding, early initiation of breastfeeding is found to be suboptimal in our country. Early initiation of breastfeeding has many challenges like no bedding in, availability of lactation counsellors and staff nurses, procedural delay (episiotomy, skin suture) and shifting from the recovery room. Objective of the study was to improve the rate of initiation of breastfeeding stable term and preterm neonates within 1 hour of life in both normal vaginal delivery and caesarean section conducted in our hospital from baseline to 95% over 3 months period by Quality improvement approach.Methods: Eligible inborn mother-infant dyads were enrolled in this study. A team formed, baseline data and rate of early initiation of breastfeeding collected and factors for delayed initiation analysed by Flowchart process, Fishbone analysis and 5 why’s, 3 PDSA cycles were done.Results: Total 50 mother-infant dyads assessed. Rate of early initiation of breastfeeding within 1 hour of life increased from 25% to 100% over 3 months.Conclusions: This quality improvement study was able to accomplish sustained improvement in the rate of breastfeeding the neonates in the first hour of life.

Abstract Background The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that breastfeeding should be initiated within the first hour of delivery followed by exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months. This study examined the determinants of early initiation of breastfeeding in Ghana using data from the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey. Methods A sample size of 4219 was used for the study. Descriptive statistics was conducted to ascertain the proportion of children who had early initiation of breastfeeding after which binary logistic regression analysis was carried out. Results were presented using frequencies, percentages, unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios. Statistical significance was pegged at p<0.05. Results Children of first birth order [AOR = 0.71, CI = 0.61–0.84], those who were delivered by non-professionals [AOR = 0.51, CI = 0.30–0.88] and those whose mothers were Traditionalists [AOR = 0.65, CI = 0.46–0.92] and Mole-Dagbanis [AOR = 0.69, CI = 0.54–0.89] were less likely to go through early initiation of breastfeeding compared to those of 2–4 birth order, those who were delivered by health professionals, those whose mothers were Christians and Akan, respectively. Conversely, children born to mothers who read newspaper/magazine at least once a week were more likely to go through early initiation of breastfeeding, compared to those who never read newspaper/magazine [AOR = 1.40, CI = 1.01–1.95]. Children born to mothers who watched television less than once a week were more likely to go through early initiation of breastfeeding compared to those who watched television at least once a week [AOR = 1.40, CI = 1.01–1.95]. Finally, women from the Northern [AOR = 2.40, CI = [1.77–3.26] and Upper East regions [AOR = 2.57, CI = [1.86–3.56] practiced early initiation of breastfeeding compared to those from the Ashanti region. Conclusions Empowering healthcare providers to be consistent in early breastfeeding initiation advocacy and effective community engagement on the need to embrace and practice early initiation of breastfeeding can improve the situation.

This paper examined the general trend of timing of breastfeeding initiation among nursing mothers in Nigeria. The time of initiating the first breast milk to an infant by his/her mother is measured as whether it is immediate (before the first hour of birth) or delayed (after the first hour of birth), and the impacts of some socioeconomic and maternal factors on this are determined. Results from this study showed that mother’s age at birth, her enhanced educational status, mothers’ domiciling in urban areas, singleton birth, and mother’s frequent antenatal visits among others contributed positively to early initiation of breastfeeding by Nigerian nursing mothers (P<0.05). In the contrary, delivery through caesarean operation, nursing mothers that delivers at homes instead of hospitals, and the current birth being the first from a mother are all found to militate against early initiation of breastfeeding (P<0.05) among others. General results showed that early breastfeeding initiation experience among nursing mothers in Nigeria significantly improves over time between 1990 and 2008 (P<0.05), although following a sinusoidal pattern. Four waves of national data from the Nigerian Demographic and Health Surveys for 1990, 1999, 2003, and 2008 were employed in the study.

Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) in post sectio caesarea patients is the process of breastfeeding the baby to his mother immediately after birth by placing the baby on the mother's chest or abdomen so that skin-to-skin contact occurs and letting the baby find the mother's nipple and then breastfeed until satisfied. The benefits of IMD are very large for mothers and babies including accelerating the production of colostrum as a baby antibody so as to prevent infection, prevent hypothermia and hypoglycemia and prevent anemia due to bleeding after delivery. IMD becomes important to be carried out both for mothers with normal labor and with the act of sectio caesarea. This study aims to determine the effect of maternal age and education on the implementation of early initiation of breastfeeding (IMD) in post sectio caesarea patients. This type of research was analytic observational with cross sectional design. Data obtained from primary data 99 respondents by filling out a questionnaire and direct observation. The research site at Bina Sehat Jember Hospital in April 2021. Data obtained from the primary data of 99 respondents by filling out questionnaires and making direct observations. Data analysis used is bivariate analysis using SPSS statistical data processing tool. The results of the instrument test show that all variables were valid and reliable as a data collection tool. The results of data analysis showed that: 1) Age had no significant effect on the implementation of IMD in post sectio caesarea patients (p = 0.769) because the indication for delivery by sectio caesarea was not carried out in patients with high risk age, but also in productive age. 2) Education had no significant effect on the implementation of IMD in post sectio caesarea patients (p = 0.284) Because knowledge about the importance of early breastfeeding initiation and how to do it is not obtained during formal education but from non-formal education and other educational media, so that other educational media are needed in order to support the implementation of IMD, especially in post sectio cesarea patients.

Early initiation of breastfeeding is program of Indonesian Government.   Early breastfeeding has not been widely practiced, <30% for South Kalimantan and 21% for Tapin District. The implementation of early initiation of breastfeeding by midwives at Datu Sanggul Rantau Hospital is influenced by age, education level, years of service, midwife training and socialization of implementation of early breastfeeding initiation. This study aims was to analyze the factors associated with implementation of early initiation of breastfeeding by midwives at Datu Sanggul Rantau Hospital. The study was cross sectional, with 32 midwives in PONEK, maternity and nicu at Datu Sanggul Rantau Hospital. The variables were age, education level, years of service, training and socialization. Data were analyzed using Chi square.  The results showed socialization was related with p value of 0.004. Unrelated factors were age p value 0.660, education level p value 0.496, years of service p value of 0.761, and training p value 0.314. Simultaneously, age, education level, years of service, training and socialization are not related to the implementation of early breastfeeding initiation with p value 0, 083. The conclusion is there is a significant relationship between socialization and the implementation of early initiation of breastfeeding at Datu Sanggul Rantau Hospital.
