Trends and determinants of early initiation of breastfeeding in Indonesia: A multivariate decomposition analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) is key to reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality, however, little is known about the determinants of the trends of EIBF prevalence in Indonesia. This study aims to assess the contributing factors to the changes in the prevalence of EIBF between 2007 and 2017.

Methods

We analysed data from the 2007, 2012, and 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Surveys to estimate the trends in EIBF. A multivariate logistic decomposition model was fitted to examine variables associated with changes in the percentage of EIBF from 2007 to 2017. The contributing factors to changes in EIBF prevalence were categorized into either compositional or behavioural changes, with each of them divided into portions or percentages of contribution (pct
