<![CDATA[Background UNICEF and WHO estimate that if all babies were breastfed for at least the first six months of their lives, morbidity and malnutrition rates would significantly decrease worldwide. both of these organizations promote the policy of initiating early breastfeeding by campaigning for a baby-friendly hospital policy, one of which encourages early breastfeeding initiation to be carried out. The aim of our study is to review the available evidence regarding the positive effects of early breastfeeding initiation on the success of exclusive breastfeeding, to suggest the most appropriate strategy to support it.Research Methods The research taken was research published in 2000-2019, obtained through major databases such as PubMed, Google Schoolar, and then examined to obtain original documents. Research searches related to the effectiveness of early initiation initiation (IMD) and the factors that influence it use the main terms "early initiation of breastfeeding", "effectivity" and "determinants of". A total of 31 literature conclusions and results of research in making this review. The 31 selected literatures have met the specified inclusion criteria.The Result Giving breastfeeding initiation is best done no later than 1 hour postpartum. IMD (initiation of early breastfeeding) is effective in stimulating milk production, producing antibody protection, reducing postpartum maternal bleeding, and in the long term affecting the duration of breastfeeding. IMD has also been studied as having the effect of reducing neonatal mortality by preventing morbidity such as diarrhea, pneumonia, UTI, meningitis and neonatal sepsis. Factors that influence the success of IMD include geographical, socioeconomic, individual health, education and maternal knowledge about IMD, duration of labor, maternal employment, hospital policy, support from health workers, labor delivery, gestational age, and maternal health conditions.Conclusions Breastfeeding initiation has been extensively studied increasing the success of exclusive breastfeeding and contributing to the reduction in infant mortality caused by infection. However, the success rate of breastfeeding initiation in several developing countries in the world still varies. Many factors influence the success of breastfeeding initiation, which still need to involve health promotion, because the implementation of breastfeeding initiation needs to involve many parties, in addition to the general public as well as to health workers who are tasked with helping in the maternity unit.]]>
