High DIBF prevalent in Nigeria was largely due to elevated rate of home birth, positively associated with DIBF. Caesarian section delivery though heightens the chance of DIBF in facility delivery. Strengthening utilization of skilled provider and skin-to-skin contact can eliminate two-third of the adverse DIBF effect and improve early initiation rate. Adopting this strategy will bridge home-facility delivery gap to achieve optimal breastfeeding practice.
