“… 9 In Asian countries, rates of non-exclusive breastfeeding at 12 weeks range between 38% and 43%. 10 , 11 In this study, the rate of non-exclusive breastfeeding was 26.4% (95% CI 21.9%–31.2%), which was considerably low when compared with other settings. This might result from breastfeeding promotion, breastfeeding education being provided during antenatal visits to all pregnant/postpartum women by specialized nurses, immediate initiation of breastfeeding with skin-to-skin contact after birth in the labor room, and rooming-in routinely practiced at in our institute.…”

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to assess the rate of non-exclusive breastfeeding and associated factors among Thai women under the Breastfeeding Promotion Program.MethodsThis was a prospective descriptive study that involved term postpartum women who attended the Breastfeeding Clinic at Srinagarind Hospital in Thailand, from April to December 2016. Abstracted data included baseline characteristics, obstetric history, breastfeeding history, problems in breastfeeding at day 3 and 2 weeks, and feeding status at 12 weeks postpartum. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression methods were used to determine significant factors predicting non-exclusive breastfeeding.ResultsOf the 500 postpartum women enrolled in this study, follow-up data at 12 weeks postpartum were available for 368 women (73.6%). The rate of non-exclusive breastfeeding assessed at 12 weeks postpartum was 26.4% (95% CI 21.9%–31.2%). Nipple problems and pain during the first 3 days postpartum and milk storage problems at 2 weeks postpartum were the major reasons for non-exclusive breastfeeding (69.4% and 59.1%, respectively). The significant independent factors that predicted these included patients not having confidence in their ability to breastfeed exclusively or not having any intention to do so (OR 7.22; 95% CI 3.26–14.24), no rooming-in (OR 2.31; 95% CI 1.04–5.12), and low milk quantity at 2 weeks postpartum (OR 3.75; 95% CI 1.70–8.29).ConclusionThe rate of non-exclusive breastfeeding in this study was ~26%, and significant associated factors included having lack of confidence/intention, no rooming-in, and low milk quantity reported at 2 weeks postpartum.

“…Most of the definitions articulated in included studies were with emphasis on the newborn infant with or without clothes, newborn infant position on the mother’s chest or abdomen and duration of infant-mother SSC. Four studies defined SSC as the placing of the naked baby on the mother’s chest or abdomen [ 14 , 16 , 18 , 19 ], whereas another study allowed the baby to wear cap, diaper and socks [ 13 ]. Two studies mentioned in their definition of SSC that both the mother and the infant need to be covered with a warm blanket or dry towel to stabilise the infant [ 17 , 18 ] Four studies explained in their definitions of SSC, that the newborn infant’s position should be placed prone on the mother’s bare chest or abdomen [ 16 , 18 – 20 ].…”

Worldwide prevalence of mother-infant skin-to-skin contact after vaginal birth: A systematic review

BackgroundDespite the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation for immediate skin-to-skin contact (SSC) after birth, separation of mothers and infants seems to be common practice in many hospitals. It is unknown how common the practice of SSC is worldwide. Therefore, we aimed to determine the reported prevalence of SSC for healthy mothers and infants immediately after normal birth.MethodsWe systematically searched CINAHL, Medline, ProQuest Central, PubMed and the Cochrane Library for articles published between January 2007 and October 2017 using the keywords "kangaroo care" or "skin to skin contact" or "breastfeeding initiation" or "breast crawl" or "maternal infant contact" or "maternal newborn contact" or "baby friendly hospital initiative" or "ten steps for successful breastfeeding”.ResultsAfter an initial screening of 5266 records, 84 full text articles were assessed for eligibility, and 35 of these met the inclusion criteria. The studies were from 28 countries representing all six WHO world regions. There was a wide range in the practice of SSC for mother-infant dyads around the world: from 1% to 98%. Only 15 studies clearly defined SSC. Most of the studies were from high-income countries, and these reported higher rates of SSC than studies from low and middle-income countries.ConclusionThere was a great heterogeneity in the definition of SSC as well as study designs, which makes cross-county comparison difficult. National studies reporting SSC rates are lacking. Future studies and guidelines to enhance SSC practice should include a standardised set of indicators and measurement tools that document SSC starting time and duration of SSC.

“…During early nipple stimulation, rapid release of prolactin and oxytocin aids in initiating milk production and contraction of uterus (Buckley, ; Power & Schulkin, ). Early initiation helps babies imprint on their mother's milk, whereby other babies can remember the taste, smell, and feel associated with breastfeeding (Kim, ). Understanding factors that possibly influence early breastfeeding initiation is significant for design and delivers more effective strategies, because early breastfeeding initiation is a consistently significant predictor of longer exclusive breastfeeding duration (NEOVITA Study Group, ; Patel et al, ).…”

This study aims to determine relationships between intrapartum factors, neonatal characteristics, skin-to-skin contact (SSC), and early breastfeeding initiation after spontaneous vaginal and Caesarean section or operative vaginal birth. A total of 915 mother-newborn dyads were considered in a hypothetical model based on integrated concepts of breastfeeding initiation model, infant learning framework, and attachment theory. Multiple-group path analysis was used to determine whether differences exist between effects of immediate SSC (≤30 min) on early breastfeeding initiation in different modes of birth. SSC, mode of birth, labour duration, and neonatal intensive care unit admission were significantly associated with early breastfeeding initiation, as indicated by the path analysis model, which included all samples. Women with immediate SSC were more likely to initiate early breastfeeding in different modes of birth. In the spontaneous vaginal birth group, women showed a lower likelihood of initiating early breastfeeding when their neonates were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit and presented an Apgar score of <7 at 1 min. Multiple-group analysis showed no significant difference between effects of immediate SSC on early breastfeeding initiation in different modes of birth (critical ratio = −0.309). Results showed that models satisfactorily fitted the data (minimum discrepancy divided by degrees of freedom = 1.466-1.943, goodness of fit index = 0.981-0.986, comparative fit index = 0.947-0.955, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.023-0.032). Our findings emphasize the crucial importance of prioritizing promotion of immediate SSC under different modes of birth. Key messages• Skin-to-skin contact (SSC), mode of birth, duration of labour, and neonatal intensive care unit admission show significant effects on early breastfeeding initiation during path analysis.• Immediate SSC was consistently and more likely to initiate early breastfeeding in different modes of birth.• In spontaneous vaginal birth group, women showed a lower likelihood of initiating early breastfeeding when their neonates were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit and an Apgar score of <7 at 1 min.• Multiple-group analysis showed no significant difference between spontaneous vaginal birth and Caesarean section or operative vaginal birth concerning effects of immediate SSC on early breastfeeding initiation. of 11 LAU ET AL.bs_bs_banner Given the well-known benefits of early breastfeeding initiation (Sharma & Byrne, 2016), our team investigated factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding initiation within 1 hr in intrapartum women.Considering our lack of existing knowledge on intrapartum factors, infant characteristics, SSC, and early breastfeeding initiation, this study attempts to fill research gaps in literature. | Conceptual framework and hypothetical modelA hypothetical model (Figure 1 | MeasuresOn the basis of previous literature review ( Moore et al., 2016;Patel et al., 2015), our study used a structured ...
