Background: Early-initiation of breastfeeding is putting the newborns to the breast within the first hour of life. It is the first critical time they contact their mother outside of the womb. The current study aimed to assess the early initiation of breastfeeding in the study setting. Objectives: To assess the level of early initiation of breastfeeding and its associated factors among mothers who had a baby of less than the age of 24 months in Jeju Woreda, Arsi Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia, 2019. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study conducted involving 487 mothers from September 18 to October 09, 2019. A multistage sampling technique was employed. First, the setting stratification done in urban and rural settings. Second, ten kebeles selected from both strata. The study participants identified by systematic random sampling technique using kebele log-books registration list as a scheme. The collected data were entered into Epi Info version 7.1.5.0 and exported to SPSS version 21.0.0.0 to analyze. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression used to determine relations between independent factors and early initiation of breastfeeding. Nine variables became eligible for multivariate analysis at a p - value less than 0.05 in bivariate. The final analyses done the significance of association decided using AOR with its 95% CI, and p - value at less than 0.05. Results: A 97% response rate achieved in this study. The prevalence of early breastfeeding initiation was 74.5%. In multivariate analysis variables namely, mothers whose age category was 35 years and above (AOR = 2.34, 95% CI: (1.07, 5.11)), Pre-lacteal feeding (AOR = 0.37 95% CI (0.17, 0.79)), postpartum advice (AOR = 1.72, 95% CI (1.01, 2.95)) had a significant association. Conclusion and recommendations: The prevalence of early breastfeeding initiation was (74.5%). The finding was low compared to the world health organization recommendation. A working towards discouraging pre-lacteal feeding and strengthening postnatal advice and focusing on ways to better reach young mothers were the recommendations to bring the prevalence in the study area to the recommended level.

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.

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.

Abstract Background : The world is now suffering from malnutrition and remains one of the major causes of under-five mortality. Children from developing countries, including Ethiopia also suffer from undernutrition due to suboptimal breastfeeding practice. Hence, the study aims were to assess early initiation of breastfeeding among children aged less than two years, months in West Belessa district, North West Ethiopia, 2019. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January to February 2019 in the West Belessa district. A total of 569 Children was selected by a simple random sampling technique. The data were collected by an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. Data were entered and analyzed by using Epi-Info version 7 and SPPS version 20, respectively. Bi-variable logistic regression analysis was used to check predictor variables associated with the dependent variable. Variables having a p-value of less than 0.20 in the bi-variable analysis were fitted into the multivariable model. Multivariable binary logistic regression with a 95% confidence interval and Odds Ratio (OR) were computed. Variables having p-value < 0.05 were taken as significantly associated with the dependent variables. Result : The prevalence of EIBF was 77.7 % (95%CI, 74.3-81.0). Age of the mother (AOR= 2.76, 95%CI (1.21, 6.27)), postnatal Visit (AOR= 1.85, 95%CI (1.03, 3.85)), and Antenatal care (AOR= 2.58, 95%CI (1.18, 9.94)) was significantly associated with EIBF. Conclusion and Recommendation: We observed, the prevalence of early initiation of Breastfeeding was low in West Belessa District. Age of the mother, Antenatal and postnatal care were associated with EIBF. Hence, improving antenatal and postnatal care services through increase accessibility and providing counseling during this contact time.

Abstract: Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD) is the process of feeding the baby immediately after birth, which has important benefits such as support the sustainability of exclusive breastfeeding and potentially reduce IMR and MMR. Based on data by RISKESDAS 2013, the percentage of IMD implementation in Indonesia is only 34.5% and in North Sulawesi is only 29%. Midwives are recognized as professionals who work as female partners including help the mothers in initiating breastfeeding. Therefore midwives are expected to have a good knowledge and a positive attitude towards the IMD so the implementation may increase. This study aims to measure the knowledge and attitude of RSU Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado midwives toward early initiation of breastfeeding in 2014. This is a cross-sectional study using questionnaire administered to midwives in RSU Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. As a results from 62 respondents, 41 respondents (66.1%) had a good knowledge on IMD, 14 respondents (22.6%) with moderate knowledge, 7 respondents (11.3%) with poor knowledge and all respondents (100 %) had a positive attitude towards the IMD. Most of midwife with a good knowledge is those who with age 36-40 years, Bachelor of Midwifery (S-I) and has been working for 6-10 years old.Keywords: knowledge, attitude, midwife, early breastfeeding initiation, IMDAbstrak: Inisiasi Menyusu Dini (IMD) adalah proses bayi menyusu segera setelah dilahirkan, yang memiliki manfaat penting diantaranya yaitu menunjang keberlangsungan ASI ekslusif serta berpotensi menurunkan AKB dan AKI. Berdasarkan data oleh RISKESDAS 2013, persentase pelaksanaan IMD di Indonesia baru sebesar 34,5% dan di Sulawesi Utara baru sebesar 29%. Bidan diakui sebagai tenaga profesional yang bekerja sebagai mitra perempuan termasuk membantu ibu dalam memulai pemberian ASI.
