Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) is one of the most successful interventions for minimizing newborn morbidity and death. According to the database (Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey 2014), only around half of babies begin breastfeeding during the first hour of life in Bangladesh. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of EIBF in the Jashore area while also investigating its associated factors among mothers of infants aged 0 to 6 months in order to better understand the variables that impacted breastfeeding initiation. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the maternity wards of the 3 busiest hospitals in the Jashore district of Bangladesh from May to July 2019. Using random sampling, a total of 423 mother–infant pairs were chosen. Pearson chi-square test and bivariable and multivariable logistic regression statistical analysis were used to identify factors linked to EIBF. The prevalence of EIBF was 46.3% (196/423). Mothers who had skin-to-skin contact after delivery (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 2.25; 95% confidential interval [CI], 1.40–3.59), who did not deliver prelacteal food (AOR, 3.68; 95% CI, 1.65–8.21), and who provided colostrum (AOR, 5.89; 95% CI, 1.62–21.49) were more likely to begin breastfeeding within 1 hour than were their counterparts. EIBF was found to be strongly linked with skin-to-skin contact after delivery, avoidance of prelacteal feeding, and colostrum feeding practice. As a result, we strongly urge public health officials and health care practitioners to encourage these feeding behaviors in order to increase EIBF.
