Background To curb neonatal deaths, practices such as skin-to-skin contact (SSC) and early initiation of breast feeding (EIBF) can play an important role. Despite being effective, globally only 48% newborns receive EIBF, SSC is practised at varying prevalence (1%–74%) among low-income middle-income countries. Objectives The objective the current study was to estimate level EIBF practice in Bangladesh examine factors associated with EIBF. Methods cross-sectional used data from Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, (2019). Women reproductive age live birth during last 2 years were included analysis (n=8854). A p<0.05 considered statistically significant (significance α=0.05). Results 16.4% 70.4%, respectively.
