“…This could be because of the fact that primipara mothers might be young people who could have better access to media and be more knowledgeable on advantage of exclusive breast feeding. The finding was in agreement to a study done in peninsular Malaysia [13] but was not consistent to studies done in Saudi Arabia, Canada, West India, and in the Thane district of India where multiparous mother were more likely to exclusively breastfeed than primipara mothers [8,23,24,27].…”

Background-Exclusive breastfeeding is the optimal feeding practice to achieve infants' growth and development. Most mothers breastfeed their children but malnutrition is still prevalent in Ethiopia. Factors affecting exclusive breastfeeding practice are less known in the study area. Therefore the study aimed to assess its determinants among mother of children age less than 6 months in Bahir Dar city administration, Ethiopia. Method: Community based cross sectional survey was conducted from Jan to Feb 2013. In Bahir Dar city administration there were a total 20 (12 Urban & 8 Rural) Kebles, of which 6 (4 Urban & 2 Rural) were selected randomly using lottery method. The registration of mothers who had a child age less than 6 months by the local HEW was used as a sampling frame. Data was collected using interviewer administered questionnaire and was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 16. Logistic regression was used to identify determinants. P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 159 mothers were interviewed (93.5% response rate). Respondent's mean age was 27.2±4.6 years, 2/3 rd of respondents were housewives by occupation, and more than 90% of participants were urban residents and were married. Prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was 49.1%. Mother education level (AOR=2.99), child sex (AOR=2.22), Parity (AOR=2.46), family size (AOR=2.92), and time of postnatal care (AOR=3.44) were independent predictors of exclusive breastfeeding practice in the study area. Conclusion & recommendation: Practice of exclusive breastfeeding was below the WHO recommendation and the target of the fifth Ethiopian Health Sector Development program. Mother education, child sex, parity, family size, and time of postnatal care were the independent predictors of exclusive breast feeding practice. The city administration should work on promoting exclusive breastfeeding practice giving special emphasis to educated mothers. The government should also consider revising the legislation of the two month postpartum maternity leave.

“…In the present study, only 12.8% started within the first hour. Nearly similar rates of initiation within one hour (11.4% -13.2%) were reported in other regions of KSA by El-Gilany et al and Amin et al (33,34). Higher rates of commencing breastfeeding, within the first hour after delivery, were also reported as follows: 23.2% in Jeddah (25); 31% in Abha (7); 39.0% in Kuwait (35); 18.3% in Lebanon (36); 43.7-45.5% in Turkey (6, 37); and 49.5% in Jordan (38).…”

Background: Breastfeeding provides valuable benefits for both the mother and the baby. However, it may be delayed in some cases or not continued for the recommended duration. Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of delayed onset of breastfeeding (more than 24 hours) in lactating women in the National Guard Hospital, Jeddah. Methods: A brief, self-designed questionnaire that assessed the onset and duration of breastfeeding was administered via direct communication to 234 participants in the National Guard HospitalJeddah, Saudi Arabia. Results: We found that the prevalence of delayed breastfeeding in the studied sample was 73%. Respondents who started breastfeeding after more than 24 hours had a significantly higher percentage of caesarean sections, complicated pregnancies, preterm deliveries, neonatal low birth weight, and difficulties in breastfeeding. Among the studied variables, the following were positively associated with the increased risk of starting breastfeeding after 24 hours in multivariable analyses: caesarean section (OR = 7.8, 95% CI = 2.9-20.9, P < .0001), difficulties in breastfeeding ( OR = 5.7, 95% CI = 1.9-16.8, P = 0.002) and delivery time as in preterm deliveries (OR= 2.3, 95% CI = 0.8-6.3, P = 0.119) and post term deliveries (OR= 0.2, 95 CI = 0.0-1.1, P-value = 0.058) which cumulatively gives a P-value = 0.027. Conclusion: Risk factors that increased significantly the likelihood of delayed initiation of breastfeeding included delivery by caesarean section, prematurity and difficulties in breastfeeding. Health education of women in the reproductive period should focus on the benefits of early breastfeeding to both the mother and the newborn.

“…Other support study findings reported by (Singh, 2012) that (74%) of mothers initiated breast feeding within 6 hours. On the other hand (El-Gilany etal, 2011) reported that only (11.4%) of mothers started breastfeeding within the first hour after delivery, while (Amin & Hablas, 2011) found that (77.8%) of studied mothers had initiated breastfeeding within 24 hours post-partum.…”
