Capture the Moment, which analyzes data from 76 countries , finds that despite the importance of early initiation of breastfeeding, too many newborns are left waiting too long for different reasons, including:
1602
喂给新生儿其他食物或饮料，包括配方奶粉。
Feeding newborns food or drinks, including formula: Common practices, such as discarding colostrum, an elder feeding the baby honey or health professionals giving the newborn a specific liquid, such as sugar water or infant formula, delay a newborn’s first critical contact with his or her mother.
1603
选择性剖宫产的增加。
The rise in elective C-sections: In Egypt, caesarean section rates more than doubled between 2005 and 2014, increasing from 20% to 52%.
1604
埃及的剖宫产率在2005至2014年间增加了一倍以上，从20％升至52％；
During the same period, rates of early initiation of breastfeeding decreased from 40% to 27%.
1605
同一时期，早开奶率从40％下降至27％。
A study across 51 countries notes that early initiation rates are significantly lower among newborns delivered by caesarean section.
1606
一项针对51个国家的研究指出，剖宫产出生的新生儿早开奶率明显较低。
In Egypt, only 19% of babies born by C-section were breastfed in the first hour after birth, compared to 39% of babies born by natural delivery.
1607
为母亲和新生儿提供的护理质量差强人意。
Gaps in the quality of care provided to mothers and newborns: The presence of a skilled birth attendant does not seem to affect rates of early breastfeeding, according to the report.
1608
报告称，是否有熟练的助产人员在场似乎不会对早开奶率带来影响。
Across 58 countries between 2005 and 2017, deliveries at health institutions grew by 18 percentage points, while early initiation ratesincreased by 6 percentage points.
