factors that affect the practice of nursing in the mother post section caesarea. Various programs to support the delivery of ASI has intensified coverage of ASI but still does not meet the expected target. Previous studies showed that breastfeeding initiation was late in babies born with sectio caesarea compared to those with vaginal delivery and prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding practice was low in the former group. The objective of this study was to define factors correlated breast feeding practice initiation on post sectio caesarea mother. 72 post sectio caesarea mothers were observed and interviewed on January 2012 to find the factors correlated with breastfeeding practice. The results showed that although 26.4% of them had previous experience in breastfeeding, only 6.9% and 29.2% of total breastfeeding is started on the first and second post sectio caesarea respectively. Support for breastfeeding practice from health workers was low, and there were significant correlation between the support and rooming conditions with breastfeeding practices (p = 0.001).

Penelitian terdahulu menyebutkan bahwa ibu melahirkan secara sectio caesarea cenderung lebih lambat melakukan inisiasi menyusu dini dan mempunyai prevalensi lebih rendah dalam praktik ASI ekslusif dibanding Ibu melahirkan pervaginam. Ibu post sectio caesarea juga tidak memulai menyusui bayinya pada hari pertama melahirkan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui faktor yang menyebabkan rendahnya praktik inisiasi ASI pada Ibu post sectio caesarea termasuk peran tenaga kesehatan di sebuah rumah sakit di Surabaya. Sebanyak 72 ibu yang melahirkan secara sectio caesarea selama bulan Juni 2012 telah menandatangani informed consent, diobservasi sejak masuk rumah sakit sampai akhir hari ke-2 post sectio caesarea, dan diwawancara dengan menggunakan kuesioner. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan semua ibu sudah mempunyai pengetahuan yang baik tentang ASI, 26,4% di antaranya sudah mempunyai pengalaman sebelumnya dalam memberikan ASI, tetapi hanya 6,9% dan total 29,2% yang mulai memberikan ASI pada hari pertama dan kedua pasca sectio caesarea. Dukungan tenaga kesehatan dalam hal membantu proses pemberian ASI dilaporkan masih rendah. Uji korelasi mendapatkan bahwa dukungan tenaga kesehatan dan kondisi rawat gabung adalah faktor yang berhubungan dengan praktik pemberian ASI (p value 0,39; p = 0,001; phi value = 0,47; p = 0,001). Rendahnya pemberian ASI ibu pasca sectio caesarea berkorelasi dengan rendahnya dukungan tenaga kesehatan dan penundaan rawat gabung.Previous studies showed that breastfeeding initiation was late in babies born with sectio caesarea compared to those with vaginal delivery and prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding practice was low in the former group. There was no breastfeeding initiation in the first day of post sectio caesarea. The objective of this study was to define factors correlated to low breast feeding practice initiation on post sectio caesarea mother, including the role of health workers in a hospital in Surabaya. 72 post sectio caesarea mothers were observed and interviewed on 1-30 June 2012 to find the factors correlated with breastfeeding practice. The results showed that although all the mothers already had a good knowledge about breastfeeding, and 26.4% of them had previous experience in breastfeeding, only 6.9% and 29.2% of total breastfeeding is started on the first and second post sectio caesarea respectively. Support for breastfeeding practice from health workers was low, and there were significant correlation between the support and rooming conditions with breastfeeding practices (p = 0.001). We concluded that low level of breastfeeding practice on mother with sectio caesarea correlated with low support of health professional and with the delay of room-in practice.

Background: Mothers are encouraged to exclusively breastfeed for the first 6 months. However, cesarean delivery rates have increased worldwide, which may affect breastfeeding. Research aim: This study aimed to determine the potential effects of cesarean delivery on breastfeeding practices and breastfeeding duration. Methods: This was a 6-month cohort study extracted from a 24-month prospective cohort study of mother–infant pairs in three communities in Hunan, China. Data about participants’ characteristics, delivery methods, breastfeeding initiation, use of formula in the hospital, exclusive breastfeeding, and any breastfeeding were collected at 1, 3, and 6 months following each infant’s birth. The chi-square test, logistic regression model, and Cox proportional hazard regression model were used to examine the relationship between breastfeeding practices and cesarean delivery. Results: The number of women who had a cesarean delivery was 387 (40.6%), and 567 (59.4%) women had a vaginal delivery. The exclusive breastfeeding rates at 1, 3, and 6 months were 80.2%, 67.4%, and 21.5%, respectively. Women who had a cesarean delivery showed a lower rate of exclusive breastfeeding and any breastfeeding than those who had a vaginal delivery ( p < .05). In addition, cesarean delivery was related with using formula in the hospital and delayed breastfeeding initiation. Cesarean delivery also shortened the breastfeeding duration (hazard ratio = 1.40, 95% confidence interval [1.06, 1.84]). Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should provide more breastfeeding skills to women who have a cesarean delivery and warn mothers about the dangers of elective cesarean section for breastfeeding practices.

The huge benefits of exclusive breastfeeding have not been able to increase the number of exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Indonesia. This is due to the low knowledge of pregnant women on the importance of exclusive breastfeeding. Low support from families, communities and health workers, especially breastfeeding counselors, is one of the factors causing the low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding. Mothers need support from those around them for success of exclusive breastfeeding behavior. The role of health workers in health promotion is also needed so that the exclusive breastfeeding program runs optimally. This activity aims to increase the knowledge and skills of mothers in exclusive breastfeeding. The community service method used is assistance to mothers in exclusive breastfeeding with the concept of one student one client. It was carried out in the working area of the Surakarta City Health Office with 30 participants. It begins with counseling mothers about exclusive breastfeeding, observations about maternal assistance in exclusive breastfeeding, and an evaluation of the course of mentoring through filling out a questionnaire about exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding practices. The role of health workers in supported exclusive breastfeeding includes providing counseling on IMD and breastfeeding since pregnancy with husband, involving husbands in IMD implementation, posyandu with home visits involving cadres and providing counseling for pregnant women, providing lactation corners, counseling involving all puskesmas officers, distributing leaflets and posters, holding pregnancy classes, and involving cadresto hold Kelompok Pendukung Ibu (KP-Ibu). The failure of exclusive breastfeeding was generally because the mother works so that breastfeeding motivation decreased, family support was low, worried about insufficient breastfeeding, and low knowledge of breastfeeding. There was a relationship between knowledge and breastfeeding practice and it was statistically significant (p=0.004, OR: 25.14, CI95%:0.89-5.56). The role of health workers and cadres in supported exclusive breastfeeding through maternal assistance was quite good, however the failure of exclusive breastfeeding generally came from maternal factors. There was a relationship between knowledge and breastfeeding practice and statistically significant.

Abstract Background China has an extremely low exclusive breastfeeding rate. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) has been shown to increase the exclusive breastfeeding rate of babies born extremely or very preterm. However, there is limited evidence of intermittent KMC’s effect on exclusive breastfeeding in late preterm. Using hospital discharge and follow-up data collected from four postnatal wards, we investigated the association between intermittent KMC and breastfeeding practice for late preterm babies in China.Methods Intermittent KMC was recommended to the mothers of all preterm babies admitted between March 2018 and March 2019. Those who agreed to practice KMC were enrolled in the “KMC group”, those who did not in the “no-KMC group”. Basic maternal socio-demographic information was collected, feeding outcome and method were recorded daily whilst in hospital and a follow-up survey of feeding practice was conducted 42 days post-discharge. Calculations for feeding practice were performed separately for both groups. Logistics regression was used to analyze the association between KMC and feeding outcome and method, adjusting for socio-demographic covariates.Results Among the 844 participants in the analysis, 627 (74.3%) chose to perform KMC. More mothers who provided KMC were exclusively breastmilk feeding their newborn in the 24 hours before discharge (54.6%) and at follow-up (57.3%), compared with mothers who did not provide KMC (34.6% at discharge and 33.2% at follow-up,). Mothers in the KMC group were more likely to be breastfeeding (method) than mothers in the no-KMC group (65.3% vs. 52.1% at discharge, and 83.1% vs. 67.3% at follow up). Logistic regression indicated that compared with the no-KMC group, mothers who provided KMC were twice as likely to be providing their newborns with exclusive breastmilk feeding at discharge (OR=2.15 (1.53-3.02)), use breast feeding method at discharge (OR=1.61 (1.15-2.25)), provide exclusive breastmilk feeding at follow-up (OR=2.55 (1.81-3.61)), and use breast feeding method at follow-up (OR=2.09 (1.44-3.02)).Conclusions Intermittent KMC was associated with a nearly doubled increase in exclusive breastmilk feeding (outcome) and breast feeding (method) at both discharge and 42 days after discharge for late preterm babies. Intermittent KMC has the potential to increase exclusive breastfeeding rates amongst late preterm infants.

BACKGROUND: Exclusive breastfeeding is the best form of nutrition for infants during the first 6 months of life. Nevertheless, the practice of breastfeeding is currently declining throughout the world. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) practice and its associated factors among mothers living in Marrakesh province, Morocco. METHODS: The data were collected using an interviewer administered questionnaire. Both bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding practice. RESULTS: Prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was 50.2%. Mothers with age more than 30 years, residing in rural area, receiving counseling related breastfeeding during antenatal follow up and having knowledge about duration of breastfeeding were more likely to practice exclusive breastfeeding than their counterparts. CONCLUSION: Although the prevalence of breastfeeding in Marrakesh was higher than the last national survey report but it is still insufficient. These findings have to stress authorities and deciders to sensitize mothers and future mothers to increase exclusive breastfeeding practice notably through the involvement of health professionals.
