premature and sick babies, with rare exceptions. It is
the food least likely to cause allergic reactions; it is
inexpensive; it is readily available at any hour of the
day or night; babies accept the taste readily; and the
antibodies in breast milk can help a baby resist
infections.
In breast milk, the amino acids (the building blocks of
proteins) are well balanced for the human baby, as are
the sugars (primarily lactose) and fats.

The baby's intestinal tract is best aided in its digestion

by the vitamins, enzymes, and mineral found in breast
milk. Breastfed babies do eat more often than formula
fed babies since breast milk is more quickly digested
and leaves the stomach empty more frequently.

TECHNIQUES:-

In the beginning, it might take a few attempts to get baby into

the right position. Here are some more latching techniques
for breastfeeding:

 If baby isn’t reacting by opening her mouth, try to

4. squeeze some drops of milk onto her lips from breast.

 In case baby turns away from the offered nipple, gently

stroke the cheek on the side nearest. This makes babies
turn towards the stimulus and start sucking (rooting)
motions. This is also known as rooting reflex and it
makes the baby turn her head toward your breast thus
aiding in the breastfeeding process.

 When baby is looking for the breast with her mouth

open, remember to always hold her up and close to
breast instead of leaning over her.

 Ensure that the latch is correct by confirming that baby’s

mouth is covering both nipple and the areola.

 A correct latch helps in smooth flow of milk where as an

improper latch results in sucking on just the nipple which
makes nipples sore and cracked and restricts milk flow.

 It is a good latch if you feel baby’s chin and
the tip of her nose touching breast. Do check
and ensure that baby’s lips are flared
outwards.
 During feeding in the initial days keep
checking the latch from time to time to
ensure that the baby isn’t sucking on her own
lower lip or tongue.
 As the baby starts feeding, should be able to
see a steady pattern of suck-swallow-breath-

If the latch-on hurts or if the child is having
trouble latching on, break the suction. A baby’s
latch can be very strong and one should never
force her off her mother’s breast. The latch is
broken best by gently putting your little finger
between baby’s gum and breast. The little one is

BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDING TO MOTHER
1. This promotes mother and child bonding.
2. It prevens uterine bleeding in the mother
after delivery.
 3. This is a natural form of Family Planning.
4. This reduces the risks of breast and ovarian
cancer in the mother.
This saves time and precious expenses need not

 2. Summary:-
Healthy newborns will be placed skin to skin with mother immediately following birth. • Staff will assure that breastfeeding begins as soon as possible
after birth, usually within the first hour. • Weighing, measuring, bathing, Vitamin K injections and eye medication will be delayed until the first
feeding is completed if possible and may be done while infant is with the mother. • Rooming in will be encouraged when appropriate. • All staff will
encourage mothers to give only breast milk and avoid any supplementation. A mother requesting supplementation (for reasons other than medical) will
be provided with education regarding the health risks of supplementation. Information about the risks of supplementation will be provided by a
handout on supplementation and verbal review of the information.
Conclusion:-
Pacifiers will be discouraged (unless mother requests), during the initiation of breastfeeding. • Formal evaluation of breastfeeding, including
observation of position, latch and milk transfer will be undertaken by trained caregivers at least once a shift. • Consistent, evidence based teaching
according to breastfeeding guidelines will be given to every breastfeeding mother to facilitate successful breastfeeding.
