Timely initiation of breastfeeding and its associated factors among immediate postpartum mother-newborn pairs in Debre Tabor comprehensive specialized hospital, South Gondar Zone, North West, Ethiopia
The overall timely initiation of breastfeeding in this study was lower than the World Health Organization's recommendations. Therefore, interventions need to focus on mothers who developed obstetric complications, primiparous mothers, improper rooming-in, a lack of advice immediately after delivery, and the support and guidance of mothers on the timely initiation of breastfeeding to improve the timely initiation of breastfeeding practice.
