Objective: Identify the prevalence and factors associated with breastfeeding within one hour of birth. Method: This is a cross- sectional study conducted between March and July 2018 with 655 postpartum women in Lagarto, Sergipe, Brazil. The chi- square test and prevalence ratios were used in the analysis. Results: Prevalence of breastfeeding within one hour of birth was 45.5%, and higher among women who planned their pregnancy (PR= 1.26; 95%CI 1.06-2.01), received prenatal care in public health centers (PR= 1.34; 95%CI 1.01-2.10), and received guidance about the importance of prenatal care (PR= 1.35; 95%CI 1.08-1.96). Parturition in public health centers (PR= 2.59; 95%CI 1.89-4.38), vaginal delivery (PR= 2.46; 95%CI 1.65-5.04), and skin-to-skin contact (PR= 2.60; 95%CI 2.10-5.10) were associated with breastfeeding. Conclusion: Prevalence of breastfeeding within one hour of birth is below the level recommended by the World Health Organization and associated with variables of pregnancy, parturition and birth.
