Overview

Secondary data analysis shows C-section delays early breastfeeding initiation in institutional deliveries in India, suggesting a need for focused interventions.

Key Points

  • To assess the relationship between caesarean delivery and early initiation of breastfeeding in institutional births in India.
  • Conducted secondary data analysis of NFHS-5 data from 2019–21.
  • Analyzed type of delivery (caesarean or vaginal) as the exposure variable.
  • Utilized R programming for statistical analysis.
  • 47% of 127,969 institutional births experienced early initiation of breastfeeding.
  • Early initiation was significantly lower following caesarean delivery (adjusted odds ratio 0.51).
  • Positive correlations were found between EIBF and factors like maternal education, birth weight, ANC visits, and urban residency.
