However, cesarean delivery increased from 12.3% in 2012 to 17.0% in 2017. Women who gave birth by cesarean section were less likely to breastfeed earlier. This study aimed to determine the relationship between cesarean delivery and early initiation of breastfeeding among women in Indonesia. This study was a further analysis of the 2017 IDHS data with a sample of the 6,877 last-born children in the two years preceding the survey. The dependent variable was early initiation of breastfeeding, while the main independent variable was cesarean delivery. Other covariate variables included age, education, occupation, place of residence, parity, history of antenatal care, place of delivery and wealth index. Data analysis used logistic regression to determine the relationship between cesarean delivery and early initiation of breastfeeding, showing as the Ad...

This study explored the determinants of optimal breastfeeding indicators in Indonesia.Methods: We used the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey to analyze factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), and continued breastfeeding at 1 year (CBF-1) and 2 years (CBF-2). Multivariate logistic regression models were used to examine bio-demographic, socio-cultural, and behavioral characteristics associated with breastfeeding after considering the survey design effect.Results: The risk of delayed breastfeeding initiation was higher among infants who were born smaller, first-born children, were delivered via cesarean delivery, and did not have immediate skin-to-skin contact (p<0.01). Infant’s age, birth pattern, household wealth index, and the mother’s occupation and smoking sta...

Furthermore, it is widely known as a distraction to exclusive breastfeeding, and the malpractice continues to be prevalent in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the potential determinants of pre-lacteal feeding among mothers of infants below aged 24 months. A sample of 6,455 mother-infant pairs from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) was used. Also, multivariate logistic regression was employed to identify factors associated with pre-lacteal feeding practice. In Indonesia, 44.0% of infants were introduced to solid/liquid feeds in their first three days of life. Infant formula was the most common pre-lacteal feed given, followed by any other milk, plain and sugar water, and honey. Early initiation of breastfeeding and living in an urban area were protective method against pre-lacteal feeding (AO...
