 This study investigates the impact of caesarean section, CS, and vaginal delivery disparity on timely initiation of breastfeeding, TIBF, and identifies factors that contribute to TIBF in Nigeria, using data from the 2018 Nigerian Demographic Health Survey. The results show that women with CS delivery had five times lower odds of TIBF compared to those with vaginal delivery, and that skin-to-skin contact can reduce the negative effect of caes on TIBF. Early mother-child contact is critical for improved breastfeeding practice. This article was authored by IWK video.
