Abstract
Breast milk that comes out for the first time contains highly nutritious colostrum, has antibody, and very suitable food to consume for new born babies. Immediately after the baby was born, the baby is placed on the mother's breast without any hindrance, so the baby can breastfeed in the first hour and get warmth from the mother's body. Some research suggests that breastfeeding immediately after birth can prevent neonatal and infant death. This research was conducted to see whether the mother's residence, age, number of children, number of antenatal visits, type of childbirth delivery, and the childbirth helper's affect the implementation of breastfeeding initiation.This research will use a cross sectional by using the individual data from IDHS year 2017 with a total data sample of 14341.After being analysed using complex sample analysis, the analysis result will show the residence place, number of children, antenatal visits, type of childbirth delivery will become the determined factors from early child breastfeeding.Maternal age and birth attendants will not influence the occurrence of early initiation of breastfeeding.After the maternal age and birth attendant variables are released, it will be seen that the normal type of delivery allows for early breastfeeding initiation to be 3 times greater than labor with cesarean section after being controlled by variables of residence, number of children, and antenatal visits.
