ABSTRACT
 Objective: To assess the prevalence of timely initiation of breastfeeding and associated factors. Material and Methods: A total of 371 mothers from Achefer district of Ethiopia were involved and a cross-sectional study was conducted in this study. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the effect sizes of associated factors on timely initiation of breastfeeding. A pretested structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The strength of the association between variables were assessed using crude odds ratio (COR) and adjusted odds ratio (AOR). Results: The prevalence rate of timely initiation of breastfeeding within the first one hour in this study was 65.0%. Timely initiation of breastfeeding was highly associated with the previous breastfeeding difficulty [AOR 2.417; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.099, 5.313] and previous two up to four pregnancy history (AOR 3.134; 95% CI 1.275, 7.705). Timely initiation of breastfeeding was negatively associated with mothers who have less than 250 Birr (AOR 0.0.350; 95% CI 0.127, 0.973), mothers having only one previous pregnancy history (AOR 0.306; 95% CI 0.109, 0.857) and having the information about importance of colostrum (AOR 0.245; 95% CI 0.144, 0.417). Conclusion: The prevalence of timely initiation of breastfeeding in the North Achefer district of Ethiopia was high. Timely initiation of breastfeeding was significantly associated with the previous pregnancy history, mothers' experiencing breastfeeding difficulty, the average income of mothers, previous pregnancy history of one child and knowledge about the importance of colostrum. Mothers who had lower average income was less likely to be a mother that timely initiate of breastfeeding. Health organizations should be aware of mothers knowledge about the importance of colostrum and early treatment for breast-related difficulties during antenatal care.

Keywords: Breastfeeding; timely initiation of breastfeeding; colostrum; prevalence; child health and Ethiopia
ÖZET
 Amaç: Anne sütüyle beslemeye zamanında başlamanın prevalansını ve ilişkili faktörleri değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntemler: çalışmaya Etyopya'nın Akefer bölgesinden toplam 371 anne alındı ve kesitsel bir çalışma yapıldı. Anne sütüyle beslemeye zamanında başlama ile ilişkili faktörlerin etki büyüklüğünü hesaplamak için iki değişkenli ve çok değişkenli analiz yapıldı. Verilerin toplanmasında önceden test edilen yapılandırılmış anket kullanıldı. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin gücü kaba odds oranı (KOO) ve ayarlanmış odds oranı (AOO) kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmada anne sütüyle beslemeye ilk bir saat içinde başlamanın prevalans hızı %65.0 idi. Anne sütüne zamanında başlama daha önce yaşanan anne sütüyle besleme ile ilişkili problem yaşama ile [(AOO 2.417; %95 güven aralığı (GA) 1.099, 5.313] ve önceden 2-4 gebelik yaşama ile [(AOO 3.314; %95 GA 1.275, 7.705 ] yüksek oranda ilişkiliydi. Anne sütüyle beslemeye zamanında başlama 250 Birr'den daha az geliri olma (AOR 0.0.350; 95% CI 0.127, 0.973), daha önce sadece bir gebelik yaşama (AOR 0.306; 95% CI 0.109, 0.857) ve kolostrumun önemi hakkında bilgi sahibi olma (AOR 0.245;95% CI 0.144, 0.417) ile negatif olarak ilişkiliydi. Sonuç: Etyopya'nın Kuzey Akefer bölgesinde anne sütüyle beslemeye zamanında başlamanın prevalansı yüksekti. Anne sütüyle beslemeye zamanında başlama daha önceki gebelik öyküsü, anne sütüyle besleme zorluğu yaşama, annelerin ortalama aylık geliri, bir çocuk sahibi olma öyküsü ve kolostrumun önemi hakkında bilgi sahibi olmayla anlamlı olarak ilişkiliydi. Ortalama geliri düşük olan annelerin anne sütüyle beslemeye erken başlayan anne olma olasılığı daha düşüktü. Sağlık organizasyonları annelerin kolostrumun önemi hakkındaki bilgilerinin ve doğum öncesi bakım sırasındaki memeyle ilgili zorlukların farkında olmalıdır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Anne sütüyle besleme; anne sütüyle beslemeye zamanında başlama; kolostrum; prevalans; çocuk sağlığı ve Etyopya
