Early initiation of breastfeeding (IMD) is a program recommended by the government in increasing the breastfeeding success, achieving exclusive breastfeeding and reducing the infant mortality rates. The IMD is a process of mothers initiates breastfeeding within one hour after delivery of their baby. During an hour, the baby looks for his mother's nipples without help. This would be useful to increase the ability of the baby's sucking reflex. The IMD is implemented in the delivery room as part of the APN procedure, however limited study in Indonesia assessed the IMD procedure. This study is aimed to assess the implementation of IMD and the sucking reflect of newborns in a hospital in Bandung city. This design of the study was the quantitative descriptive approach. The samples were 30 newborns. The samples were chosen using the accidental sampling technique. There were two types of instruments which are an observation sheet to check the procedure of IMD, and an instrument to assess babies’ sucking reflex including rooting, sucking, and swallowing reflexes. The study findings described in a frequency distribution. This study found that 100% of deliveries were carried out IMD inappropriately, and 86.7% of babies' sucking reflects were not achieved. The study concluded that the implementation of IMD was not maximal, and would be affected babies had not succeeded in breastfeeding.  It is expected that the hospital would implement IMD as the standard of maternity services.Keywords: Early Breastfeeding Initiation, Reflect

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.

Infant mortality rate by Indonesia Demographic Health Survey in 2012 is still quite high at 32 per 1,000 live births and under five year mortality rates of 40 per 1,000 live births. An effort to prevent infant mortality is by breastfeeding soon after birth or so-called early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding. Coverage of exclusive breastfeeding nationwide in 2014 amounted to 52.3% is still below the national target of 80%. The aim of this research was to find the efforts to improve the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding and the early initiation of breastfeeding. The Efforts that can do are empowering people through Mother Support Group, socialize the Government Regulation No. 33 of 2012 on exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding counselor provides power. The local government is advised to draw up local regulations that support the implementation of the early initiation of breastfeeding program and exclusive breastfeeding so as to have binding legal force for all parties involved as well as to conduct promotion, monitoring, evaluating and supervising the implementation and achievement of the program exclusive breastfeeding.

Background The infant mortality rate (IMR) in Indonesia is higher than that in other ASEAN countries. The highest rate of mortality occurs in the first 24 hours of life. Suboptimal breastfeeding initiation is a cause of high IMR. In an effort to decrease infant mortality, implementing early initiation of breastfeeding (EIB) has been encouraged.Objective To assess the success rate and time needed for latching on in EIB implementation.Methods We reviewed medical records of vaginal deliveries at Dustira Hospital, Cimahi, West Java, from June–November 2011.Results From 305 vaginal deliveries, 174 infants received EIB, though only 159 medical records could be assessed. The results showed that 52 % did EIB with a 91.8% success rate (defined as good implementation by WHO) and a 8.2% fail rate. In terms of subjects’ birth weights, the success rate of EIB implementation was 62.5% in the low birth weight (LBW) group, 94.9% in the normal birth weight (NBW) group, and 100% in the large birth weight or macrosomic group. The success rate of EIB implementation was 69.2% in the preterm group and 93.8% in the full term group. The success rate of EIB implementation was 71.4% in the LBW/fullterm group and 55.6% in the LBW/preterm group. The amount of time for infants to latch on was highest within the 30–44 minute group (52.7%).Conclusion The EIB implementation at Dustira Hospital was classified as good and the amount of time to latch on was 30-44 minutes.

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.
