Abstract
Cesarean section is considered as a barrier for early initiation of
breastfeeding. We found that 65.2% of mothers initiated
breastfeeding within 1 hour of delivery. We found that there is no
significant difference between vaginal delivery and cesarean
section in early initiation of breastfeeding, (P = 0.35). We were
successful in overcoming this barrier by involving a lactation
management counsellor in supporting mothers in early initiation
of breastfeeding following cesarean section.
