Data obtained from dr. Achmad Mochtar Hospital in 2013, obtained the data that the incidence of hypothermia as much as 1.7%, the newborn as much as 2.6%, and asphyxia as much as 4.9%. One handling the heat loss (Hypothermia), one of them with early breastfeeding initiation (IMD). This study aims to determine whether there is influence of early breastfeeding inititiation to the prevention of hypothermia in newborns in BPM “Y” cities bukittinggi 2013. This research type is a quantitative research design is quasi experimental. The sampling method accidental sampling. Data collected by observation and paired t-test is komputerisasi. From data processing is done, p value=0,0001. Can be explained statistically significant relationship between the effects of early breastfeeding initiation to the prevention of hypothermia in newborns.
