Determinants of early initiation of breastfeeding in Côte d’Ivoire: a hospital-based study
Although the prevalence of EIBF in this hospital was higher than the national estimate, it remains below international targets. Maternal education and mode of delivery are key determinants. Strengthening prenatal counseling and adapting post-cesarean protocols to promote immediate skin-to-skin contact are essential to increase EIBF coverage in Côte d'Ivoire.
