“…Keeping the mother and newborn together is a prerequisite to initiate the breastfeeding early as their separation, even for a very brief period, results in delayed breastfeeding initiation [ 44 ]. Our study observed that the practice of putting the baby skin-to-skin on mother’s abdomen significantly reduced the breastfeeding initiation time, which is consistent with findings from several other studies [ 34 , 45 , 46 ]. Skin-to-skin contact with mother facilitates early initiation of breastfeeding through release of ‘prolactin’ hormone that promotes lactation and ‘oxytocin’ hormone that promotes attachment to the mother [ 47 ].…”

“…Based on the literature review, we considered a number of factors as the explanatory variables which could potentially influence the time to initiate breastfeeding after birth in health facility [ 28 , 34 , 35 ]. These included type of health facility, privacy in delivery room, presence of separate staff for newborn care, spontaneous breathing or crying of newborn, skin-to-skin contact with mother, and newborn receiving a postnatal examination within one hour of delivery.…”

BackgroundInitiation of breastfeeding within one hour of birth can avert 22% of newborn mortality. Several factors influence breastfeeding practice including mothers’ socio-demographic and obstetric characteristics, and factors related to time around child birth. This study explores breastfeeding initiation practices and associated influencing factors for initiating breastfeeding within one hour of birth in public health facilities of Bangladesh.MethodsIn this study, normal deliveries were observed in 15 public health facilities from 3 districts in Bangladesh. Study participants were selected by convenient sampling i.e. delivery cases attending health facilities during the study period were selected excluding caesarean section deliveries. Among 249 mothers, time of initiation of breastfeeding was observed and its association was measured with type of health facility, privacy in delivery room, presence of separate staff for newborn, spontaneous breathing, skin-to-skin contact and postnatal contact of mother or newborn with health care providers within one hour after delivery. Data was collected during August-September, 2016. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to measure equality of median duration of breastfeeding initiation time among two or more categories of independent variables. Series of simple logistic regressions were conducted followed by multiple logistic regression to identify the determinants for breastfeeding initiation within one hour.ResultsAmong 249 mothers observed, 67% initiated breastfeeding within one hour of birth at health facilities and median time to initiate breastfeeding was 38 minutes (Inter-quartile range: 20–56 minutes). After controlling for maternal age as potential confounder, the odds of initiating breastfeeding within one hour of birth was significantly higher if mothers gave birth in district hospitals (AOR 3.5: 95% CI 1.5, 6.4), visual privacy was well-maintained in delivery room (AOR 2.6: 95% CI 1.2, 4.8), newborns cried spontaneously (AOR 4.9: 95% CI 3.4, 17.2), were put to skin-to-skin contact with mothers (AOR 3.4: 95% CI 1.9, 10.4) or were examined by health care providers in the facilities (AOR 2.4: 95% CI 1.3, 12.9).ConclusionsIn health facilities, initiation of breastfeeding within one hour is associated with some critical practices and events around the time of birth. With the global push toward facility-based deliveries, it is very important to identify those key factors, within the landscape of maternal and newborn care, which significantly enable health care providers and parents to engage in the evidence-based newborn care activities including early initiation of breastfeeding that will, in turn, reduce global rates of newborn mortality.

Background and Aims: Essential newborn care (ENC) practices play an important role in reducing the risk of infant mortality and morbidity. Therefore, more studies are needed on ENC practices. Skilled maternal healthcare can be a good strategy to increase the practice. Learn about the independent and joint effects of skilled maternal healthcare during pregnancy and childbirth on newborn care practices. Methods:The study used a cross-sectional data obtained from Bangladesh Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, 2019. To investigate the association between maternal healthcare utilization and good ENC practice (cord care, delayed bathing, and immediate breast-feeding), χ 2 test and t-test in bivariate and binary logistic regression analysis, respectively have been performed after taking into account complex survey design.Results: Only about 24% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 22.95%-25.89%) women given birth at home in rural Bangladesh followed good newborn care practice. The results obtained from adjusted regression analysis showed that a woman was 24%, 49%, and 75% more likely of having good ENC practice if she received four or more skilled checkups during antenatal period only (adjusted odds ratios [AOR]: 1.24, 95% CI: 0.97, 1.60), received assistance from SBA during delivery only (AOR: 1.49, 95% CI 1.12, 1.97) and received skilled healthcare in both pregnancy and delivery (AOR:1.75, 95% CI 1.13, 2.71), respectively compared to a woman who did not get an opportunity to receive skilled healthcare during pregnancy and delivery. Among the selected confounders, maternal age at birth, birth order, education of household heads and religion showed a significant association with good ENC practice. Conclusion:The study revealed that proper maternal healthcare during pregnancy and childbirth from skilled health personnel can improve the rate of ENC practices.For this, more training programs should be started, especially at the community level, and health promotion activities are needed to create awareness about efficient maternal healthcare practices.

Early initiation of breastfeeding has been noted as one of the well-known and successful interventions that contributes to the reduction of early childhood mortality and morbidity. The Government of Benin has established multi-sectoral institutions and policies to increase the prevalence of early initiation of breastfeeding. However, there is little information on the prevalence and the determinants of early initiation of breastfeeding in Benin. This study therefore sought to examine the prevalence and determinants of early initiation of breastfeeding among women in Benin. This is a secondary data analysis of the 2017/2018 Benin demographic and health survey. The study included weighted sample of 7,223 women between the ages of 15 and 49. STATA was used for the data analysis. We used a multilevel logistic regression to investigate the factors of early breastfeeding initiation in Benin. To determine the significant relationships, the data were reported as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and p-value 0.05. The prevalence of early initiation of breastfeeding among mothers was 56.0%. Early initiation of breastfeeding was lower among employed women (aOR = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.69–0.94), women who had caesarean section (aOR = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.16–0.28), those exposed to mass media (aOR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.75–0.96) and women who received assistance at birth from skilled worker (aOR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.46–0.71). The findings of this study showed that four in ten children miss early initiation of breastfeeding in Benin. The findings, therefore, call for the need for policymakers to shape existing programs and consider new programs and policies to help improve early initiation of breastfeeding practices in Benin. It is, therefore, recommended that information, education and communication programs targeting mothers who are less likely to practice early initiation of breastfeeding be formulated, implemented, and monitored accordingly by the Ministry of Health.
