“…Seven studies reported that institutional delivery was associated with higher odds of EIBF [ 19 , 22 , 24 , 32 , 34 , 35 , 37 ]. Other studies identified that deliveries by skilled birth attendants were positively associated with EIBF [ 14 , 15 , 17 , 18 , 21 , 38 ]. Haile et al [ 18 ] pointed out that the type of birth attendant played an important role in EIBF, particularly in rural areas.…”

Background Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) plays an important role in reducing neonatal and infant mortality. Sub-Saharan African countries have high rates of neonatal and infant mortality, as well as a low prevalence of EIBF. By conducting a scoping review, we aimed to determine the gaps and current understandings of EIBF in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods We conducted this scoping review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) reporting guidelines, focusing on primary studies published from 2008 to 2021. We reviewed their titles and abstracts against the eligibility criteria, selecting the relevant ones to this study’s criteria for a further full-text review. Results The identified determinants can be categorized into household, maternal, and health service characteristics. Regarding health service characteristics, many studies reported that cesarean section was strongly associated with the delayed initiation of breastfeeding. Institutional delivery and delivery by skilled birth attendants were also reported to be associated with the early initiation of breastfeeding. Others pointed out that place of residence and wealth index as two household characteristics that were strongly associated with EIBF, as well as maternal characteristics such as older maternal age and higher education status. Conclusions We found that only eleven studies on the early initiation of breastfeeding have been conducted in Central and West Africa. Household, maternal, and health service factors have been reported to be associated with the early initiation of breastfeeding across many countries. More studies are needed to fill the current geographic gaps and investigate determinants that have not been examined. Future research should also cover interventions that have been effective in improving EIBF for women after caesarean sections in sub-Saharan Africa. Interventions that promote institutional delivery and deliveries by skilled attendants have the potential to improve the practice.

“…The Moderating effect of urban versus rural residence on the relationship between type of birth attendant and early initiation of breastfeeding in Ghana [22] concluded that the role of birth attendant is very important in the early initiation of breastfeeding, almost the same as the role of healthcare provider and the birth attendant in educating the mother for initiation of the breastfeeding of the first hour is directly related to the educational, moral and health literacy of the birth attendants and Bangladesh [23] the mothers having normal virginal delivery started breastfeeding within one hour as compared to women who were having C-section.…”

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Breastfeeding provides immunity against bacterial, viral, and other infectious diseases. More than four million new neonates die due to vaccine-related diseases in the first 28 days of their lives. It is therefore emphasized that breastfeeding in the first hours after delivery may save the neonate. The objective of this study was to determine the factors affecting the pattern of breastfeeding among the neonates and assess the frequency of early breastfeeding among neonates at Gulab Devi Hospital, Lahore. METHODOLOGY: It was a cross-sectional descriptive study. One hundred mothers were selected through convenient purposes sampling. Chi-square test applied for an association between mode of delivery and initiation of breastfeeding. RESULTS: The result of the study showed variability in the time of breastfeeding by the mothers from one hour to 24 hours after delivery. Pre-lacteal was given to 59 mothers, while 41 were not given with any pre-lacteal. A significant association was found between mode of delivery and initiation of breastfeeding with a p-value less than 0.001 CONCLUSION: The result of the study showed that variability in the time of breastfeeding by the mothers from one hour to 24 hours after delivery provided a significant difference in the production of the neonate in the first 28 days.

Background: Ghanaian female youth aged 15-24 years are especially vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) compared to their male counterparts.Objectives: This study examined the association between educational attainment and risky sexual behavior among Ghanaian female youth. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a nationally representative sample of youth from the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (n=1702). The outcome of interest was risky sexual behavior, defined as having last intercourse with a non-marital partner without condoms. Descriptive and inferential statistical tests were utilized. Results: Overall, the prevalence of risky sexual behavior was 66.9%. In the bivariate analysis, risky sexual behavior differed by level of education. Compared to women with a college-level education, a significantly higher proportion of women with secondary education reported risky sexual behavior (72.9%), followed by those with primary education (65.7%) (p<0.001). In the multivariable-adjusted model, there was a significant interaction between education and household wealth index (P =0.030) and between education and the type of place of residence (P =0.045) on risky sexual behavior. Conclusion: Culturally appropriate and targeted interventions are warranted to increase condom use among these subgroups and curb the rising rates of STIs among Ghanaian female youth. Keywords: Ghanaian youth; risky sexual behavior; educational attainment.
