The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) have recommended that children start breastfeeding within the first hour after birth and be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life (no food or other fluids are given). , including water) (UNICEF & WHO, 2018). An estimated 78 million babies - or three in five babies - are not breastfed in the first hour of life. This puts them at a higher risk of death and disease and makes them less likely to continue breastfeeding (World Health Organization, 2018a). Data from WHO shows that only 40% of infants have received early initiation of breastfeeding (IMD). WHO itself targets that by 2030 70% of infants have received early initiation of breastfeeding (WHO & UNICEF, 2018). The type of research used is descriptive, namely research that clearly describes the variables studied without doing statistical tests. This research was conducted at BPM Pematangsiantar City. The study was conducted in March 2021 with a sample size of 29 people. The sampling method in this study was non-probability sampling, namely by consecutive sampling. The description of the IMD implementation shows that the majority of respondents are aged 20-35 years (65.5%) and the least is <20 years old (6.9), the highest parity is 3 (34.5%) and the least parity is 5 (6.9%). ), all respondents gave birth at term pregnancy (100%), and all respondents did early initiation of breastfeeding (100%) while the implementation of IMD was mostly carried out immediately after birth (89.7%) and the longest IMD implementation was between 30 minutes to 30 minutes. d 1 hour (69%) but there are also those who carry out IMD less than 30 minutes (10.3%). Type of Research Analytical survey with cross sectional design. It is hoped that health workers will carry out an IMD in every delivery immediately after the baby is born and the need for husband and family support in accompanying the delivery process in carrying out IMD.

Background. Early initiation of breastfeeding is a recommended practice by the World Health Organization (WHO), but in Ethiopia only 52% of the mothers practiced early initiation of breastfeeding. Hence, this study aimed to assess prevalence of early initiation of breastfeeding and the associated factors among mothers in Bahir Dar City, northwest Ethiopia. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among mothers who delivered 12 months before the study began in Bahir Dar City, northwest Ethiopia. A cluster sampling technique was used to select a sample of 819 participants. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results. In this study, the prevalence of early initiation was found to be 87.0%. On multivariate logistic regression, delivering vaginally (AOR = 7.37, 95% CI = 4.24, 13.82) and being knowledgeable on correct initiation time (AOR = 6.08, 95% CI = 3.71, 9.95) were found to be independent predictors of early initiation. Conclusions. Prevalence of early initiation of breastfeeding in Bahir Dar city is relatively good but still lower than the national plan. Delivering vaginally and being knowledgeable on correct initiation time were significantly associated with early initiation. Increasing maternal knowledge on correct initiation and providing adequate pain relief and early assistance for mothers who gave birth by C/S were recommended.

Introduction: Mothers who do not provide exclusive and customary breastfeeding to their babies are influenced by several factors such as insufficient breast milk so that the babies often fuss and cry. Exclusive breastfeeding constraints are also due to the provision of food and drinks to the baby before breastfeeding, such as honey and formula milk, and the distrust of mothers in breastfeeding the baby. Method: The research method used is observational analytic with cross sectional approach to see the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable. Result: The results of this study were 69 respondents who did Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD), 23 respondents (33.3%) succeeded in giving exclusive breastfeeding, and 18 respondents (26.1%) were unable to provide exclusive breastfeeding. Mothers who did not perform IMD and were able to provide exclusive breastfeeding were 6 respondents (8.7%) and 22 respondents (31.9%) were unable to exclusively breastfeed. This shows that IMD can increase exclusive breastfeeding, while mothers who do not do IMD are at risk of not being able to provide exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: From the results of this study, it is necessary to increase health education about improving the quality of mothers in carrying out IMD and exclusive breastfeeding.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Considering the poor practices of optimal breastfeeding, a cross-sectional study with the objective to ascertain the disparity in knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) pertaining to early initiation, exclusive and continued breastfeeding behaviours was conducted among the mothers of children below 3 years of age.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> 400 mothers of children ≤6 months from 52 villages of Rajasthan were included in the analysis for EBF. The data collection was analysed using statistical software SPSS version 23.0. All characteristics were summarized descriptively. Chi-square (χ2) test was performed to study the association between two categorical variables. Three points liket scale was administered to assess the attitude of mothers.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> 72.8 % mothers initiated early breastfeeding, 22.5% continued breastfeeding, and exclusively breastfeeding was practiced by none. 34.3% mothers had knowledge on early initiation of breastfeeding, 34.6% on exclusive breastfeeding and 65.5% had knowledge on continued breastfeeding. 73.8% mothers had positive attitude towards early initiation of breastfeeding, 13.5 % on exclusive breastfeeding and 79.5% had positive attitude towards continued breastfeeding up to 2 years.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Though the attitude and knowledge on breastfeeding is good yet exclusive breastfeeding practice was observed very poor. These findings indicate that despite of having good knowledge and a positive attitude towards breastfeeding, there are certain myths and social determinants which hinder optimal breastfeeding. Identification of such barriers will be extremely useful, since counselling and behaviour change strategies will focus and address them, resulting in the practice of good behaviours.</p>

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding plays an important role in preventing morbidity and mortality in infants and young children. However, exclusive breastfeeding coverage remains low, especially among working mothers. This study aimed to examine the relationship between early initiation of breastfeeding and prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers in Bantul District, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. The population were all women in reproductive age who worked in middle and large companies. Samples included mothers whose infants were aged six to 12 months and were selected by probability proportional to size sampling technique. Main outcome was exclusive breastfeeding, while the independent variable was the early initiation of breastfeeding. Statistical analysis were descriptive statistics test, chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression at the level of significance of 0.05. Results: Exclusive breastfeeding coverage was around 22%, whilst the early initiation of breastfeeding coverage was 10%. Early initiation of breastfeeding was associated with exclusive breastfeeding practice (adjusted OR = 2.93; 95% CI: 1.04 - 8.28). Variables that were not significantly related to exclusive breastfeeding included being a first-time mother, maternal age, maternal educational level, breastfeeding counselling during antenatal visits, and delivery methods. Conclusions: Early initiation of breastfeeding is associated with higher prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers. To increase exclusive breastfeeding coverage, particularly among employed women, it is highly recommended to enhance early initiation of breastfeeding program.
