Abstract
Gestational age and early physical contact seemed to be the strongest predictors of breastfeeding initiation and frequency in the NICU. In addition, the role of the mother's attitude regarding breastfeeding was significant. Current care practices should be critically reviewed with emphasis on early physical contact at the time of birth.
