Abstract

Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) is the process where a newborn begins breastfeeding within the first hour after birth through skin-to-skin contact between the mother and baby. The implementation of EIBF is an important intervention to reduce neonatal mortality and increase exclusive breastfeeding success. However, the implementation of EIBF is still not optimal in various health facilities. This study aims to identify factors influencing the implementation of Early Initiation of Breastfeeding in newborns based on previous research findings. The method used was a literature review by analyzing scientific articles obtained from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases published within the last 10 years. Articles were selected based on inclusion criteria relevant to the research topic. The results of the review show that factors influencing the implementation of EIBF include maternal knowledge, maternal attitudes toward breastfeeding, support from health workers, family support, mode of delivery, and health facility policies. In conclusion, the success of EIBF implementation is influenced by individual factors, health worker support, and health service system factors. Therefore, increased maternal education and strong support from health workers are needed to improve EIBF implementation.

Abstract

Background: Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) within the first hour after birth is a critical intervention to improve exclusive breastfeeding rates and reduce neonatal mortality. However, its implementation in primary healthcare settings remains suboptimal, indicating a gap between policy and practice. Objective: This study aimed to describe the implementation of Early Initiation of Breastfeeding among newborns at Baregbeg Public Health Center. Methods: A descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted. The sample included 22 postpartum mothers (0–40 days) selected using total sampling. Data were collected using observation sheets and analyzed through univariate analysis. Results: The findings showed that 72.7% of mothers implemented EIBF, while 27.3% did not, indicating that although the majority practiced EIBF, a considerable proportion still missed early breastfeeding initiation. Conclusion: The implementation of EIBF at Baregbeg Public Health Center is generally adequate but not yet optimal. Strengthening maternal education and enhancing health worker support are essential to improve EIBF coverage and ensure consistent practice.
