The objective of the study was to determine the factors that are associated with the early initiation of breastfeeding in women from 12 to 49 years of age in Peru during the year 2020. The research was observational, followed a quantitative approach and had an explanatory scope through a secondary analysis of the 2020 Demographic and Family Health Survey database. The effective sample was 8088 women and their children under two years of age. Among the main results, the frequency of early initiation of breastfeeding was 49.6%, regarding the multivariate analysis, the maternal factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding were having two children (ORa: 1.35; p=0.017) and coming from the region sierra (ORa: 1.74; p=0.017) and jungle (ORa: 1.77; p=0.017). Regarding the newborn factors with significance were the weight of the child at birth with ≥2500 (ORa: 1.93; p= 0.001) and skin-to-skin contact (ORa: 2.13; p=<0.001). Finally, the only significant health provider factor was not having a cesarean delivery (ORa: 9.30; p=<0.001). In conclusion, less than half of the women breastfed their newborn before the first hour of life. According to the adjusted model, the factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding are number of children, region, skin-to-skin contact, birth weight, and cesarean delivery.
