Background: Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) is referred to as providing breast milk to the newborn within one hour of birth. EIBF ensures that the infant receives the colostrum containing highly protective antibodies. This study aimed to identify the influential factors of EIBF among mothers in Rajshahi district, Bangladesh. Methods: The data was collected from mothers living in Rajshahi district who had at least one child aged 6-24 months. This study was conducted from January to March, 2019. The EIBF was measured by a principal question, “Did you provide your breast milk to your infant within one hour after delivery?” Frequency distribution and Chi-square test and multivariable binary logistic regression model were utilized in this study for getting prevalence and influential factors of EIBF respectively. Results: This study revealed that the prevalence of EIBF among mothers in Rajshahi district was 88.4%. Multivariable logistic model provided eight influential factors of EIBF: (i) place of delivery, (ii) family monthly income, (iii) husbands’ education level, (iv) mothers’ nutritional status, (v) mothers’ age, (vi) husbands’ occupation, (vii) getting pregnancy with planning, and (viii) mothers taking advice regarding the benefit of breastfeeding during their pregnancy. Conclusions: This study identified several modifiable influential factors of EIBF. The customs, culture and other characteristics are almost the same across the country. These factors could be considered to increase the rate of EIBF among mothers in Bangladesh.

Background Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) is referred as providing the breast milk to the newborn within one hour of birth which ensures that the infant receives the colostrum. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding among mothers in Rajshahi district, Bangladesh. Methods The data was collected from mothers living in Rajshahi district who had at least one child aged 6–24 months from January to March, 2019. The EIBF was measured by a question to mother, “did you provide your breast milk to your infant within one hour after delivered? Frequency distribution, Chi-square and multivariable binary logistic regression model were utilized in this study for getting prevalence and influential factors of EIBF. Results This study revealed that the prevalence of EIBF was 88.4%. Logistic model provided that place of delivery, family monthly income, husbands’ education level, mothers’ nutritional status, mothers’ age, husbands’ occupation, getting pregnancy with planning, mothers taking advice regarding the benefit of breastfeeding during their pregnancy were the influential factors of EIBF among mothers in Rajshahi district, Bangladesh. Conclusions This study identified several modifiable influential factors of EIBF. The customs, culture and other characteristics are almost same across the country in Bangladesh. These factors could be considered to increase the rate of EIBF among mothers in Bangladesh.

“…A number of factors are associated with early breastfeeding practices, such as area of residence, region, socio-economic status, paternal education, maternal age at marriage, desire for birth, antenatal care, place of birth, attendance of birth by skilled personnel, mode of delivery, perceived size of infant, sex of infant, and birth order [16][17][18][19]. Some of these factors have also been identified as being associated with prelacteal feeding [9,13,14].…”

Background: In efforts to reduce neonatal mortality, the World Health Organization (WHO) has included breastfeeding among its recommended packages of interventions. Early initiation of breastfeeding and avoidance of prelacteal feeding are key contributors to optimal feeding practices. This study aims to assess the prevalence and associated factors of early breastfeeding practices in Sudan. Methods: This study utilises the cross-sectional nationally-representative Sudan Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) conducted in 2014. The sample includes women who had a live birth in the two years before the survey and their self-report on early breastfeeding practices, namely early initiation and prelacteal feeding. Percentages of these early breastfeeding practices indicators were estimated accounting for the complex survey design. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to examine the factors associated with these outcomes. Results: Of 5622 mothers, 69% initiated breastfeeding within one hour of birth, 72% avoided prelacteal feeding in the first three days after birth, and 51% met the criteria for both (i.e. practised optimal early feeding practice). Optimal early feeding varied across regions of Sudan. Birth by caesarean section (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] 0.34; 95% CI 0.25, 0.47) and at a health facility (AOR 0.75; 95% CI 0.60, 0.94) were negatively associated with optimal early feeding practice. Mothers with secondary education (AOR 1.62; 95% CI 1.30, 2.02), those who desired their pregnancy at the time (AOR 1.31; 95% CI 1.08, 1.60), those who were assisted by a skilled birth attendant at birth (AOR 1.48; 95% CI 1.19, 1.83), and those who gave birth to female infants (AOR 1.16; 95% CI 1.02, 1.33) had higher odds of use optimal early feeding practice. Similarly, the odds of optimal early feeding increased with parity and maternal age. Conclusions: Only half of Sudanese mothers practised optimal early feeding practice, with important differences between regions in the country. Early feeding practices in Sudan are associated with various maternal, child and community level factors. The findings suggest the need to develop breastfeeding promotion programs with consideration of regional variations and healthcare system interventions.
