Methods A total of 368 pregnant women were selected from pilot hospitals in the designated areas (Guizhou Province) of WHO/China CDC newborn safety project, and were divided into four groups according to mother-infant skin-contact time[<30 min(n=49), 30-<60 min(n=59), 60-<90 min(n=54), ≥90 min(n=206)].The exclusive breastfeeding rate, difficulty of breastfeeding and long-term breastfeeding risk of the four groups were analyzed. Results There was no statistical difference in the exclusive breastfeeding rate among the four groups (χ2=2.026, P>0.05),but the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the group of mother-infant skin-contact time ≥90 min was significantly higher than that in the three groups in the first month after delivery(χ2=8.755, P<0.05).With the increasing time of mother-infant skin-contact time, the rate of moderate/severe difficulty of breastfeeding was significantly reduced, while the mild difficulty of breastfeeding significantly increased(χ2=19.627, P<0.001) .In 3 months after birth, with the increasing of mother-infant skin-contact time, the scores of maternal and infant satisfaction and lifestyle, as well as the total score of Maternal Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale(MBFES) significantly increased(F=9.758,15.201,9.025,16.360, P<0.001). Conclusion Prolonging mother-infant skin-contact time is helpful to improve the key link of breastfeeding, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding and the long-term outcome of breastfeeding. %U https://manu41.magtech.com.cn/Jwk_zgetbjzz/EN/10.11852/zgetbjzz2020-1294
