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.
