Summary: Abstract: Rooming-in, as a core principle of Early Essential Newborn Care, has been accepted locally. Hence, an Act providing incentives to all health institutions compliant with its practice was mandated. In this act, rooming-in should be implemented within 30 minutes in both well and low birth weight infants who are feeding well via normal spontaneous delivery and within 4 hours after birth for those born via Cesarean section. This has been properly implemented in some government hospitals; but the adoption of proper timing for rooming-in in certain private institutions has its own limitations. This study determined the reasons for the delay in rooming-in of newborns in a private tertiary hospital in terms of the profiles and conditions of both mother and child. A cross sectional descriptive study wherein simple random sampling of well and sick neonates, delivered from 2014 to 2018 in the institution was done. Review of 269 charts was done. Determination of the reasons for the delay in rooming-in was done using frequency and percentage. All mothers reported delay in rooming-in. Neonatal conditions alone (43.12%) especially those infants who were high-risk and were observed longer in the NICU were the prominent cause of delay in rooming-in as seen in 97 cases (58.08%). Maternal conditions alone were the second leading cause of delay in rooming-in of 102 newborns (37.92%) especially those with postpartum diseases (45.35%). 51 neonates (18.96%) both have maternal and neonatal conditions as reasons for such delay. Health care facilities must assume the responsibility of achieving 100-percent re-implementation in the adoption of a baby-friendly hospital. Strengthening of existing activities by health professionals like antenatal counseling sessions and strict implementation od hospital rooming in policies are recommended. An increase in the rooming-in rate must be a top concern.
