Overview

Survey analysis identifies factors affecting early initiation of breastfeeding rates in Thailand, highlighting regional disparities.

Key Points

  • Early initiation of breastfeeding rates in Thailand declined from 54.9% in 2012 to 43.1% in 2022, signaling a concerning trend.
  • Vaginal delivery increased the odds of early initiation by 2.1 times, while lack of skin-to-skin contact reduced likelihood by 57%.
  • Logistic regression analysis was conducted on data from 13,063 mothers, examining influences from geographic and socioeconomic factors.
  • The findings underscore the need for tailored interventions to promote breastfeeding practices and improve maternal health.
