dc.description.abstract | Background: Initiation of breastfeeding later than 1 hour after birth is associated with increased neonatal morbidity and mortality. Objective: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with delayed initiation of breastfeeding. Methods: We conducted a survey in 2016 of 930 children under the age of 2 years in Lira district, northern Uganda. Mothers of the children were interviewed and data was collected on mobile phones using Open Data Kit software (https://opendatakit.org). Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with delayed initiation of breastfeeding. Results: Almost half [48.2%, 95% confidence interval (CI) (44.3–52.1)] of the mothers delayed initiation of breastfeeding. Factors significantly associated with delayed initiation of breastfeeding in multivariable analysis included caesarean delivery [Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) 11.10 95% CI (3.73–33.04)], discarding initial breast milk [AOR 2.02 95% CI (1.41–2.88)], home delivery [AOR 1.43 95% CI (1.04–1.97)] and mother being responsible for initiating breastfeeding as compared to a health worker or relative [AOR 1.73 95% CI (1.33–2.26)]. Mothers having a secondary education were less likely [AOR 0.54 95% CI (0.30–0.96)] to delay initiation of breastfeeding as compared to those with no education. Conclusion: About half the mothers delayed initiation of breastfeeding until after 1 hour after birth. Programs to promote, protect and support breastfeeding in this post conflict region are urgently needed. | en_US |
