Option 4 : hold baby giving support to whole body
CONCEPT:-
- Breastfeeding is the “Gold standard” for infant feeding.
- Exclusive breastfeeding means giving nothing orally other than colostrum and breast milk. Medicines and vitamins are allowed.
- All the babies, regardless of the type of delivery, should be given early and exclusive breastfeeding for up to 6 months of age.
EXPLANATION:-
- Technique of holding the baby:-
- The mother and the baby should be in a comfortable position.
- Feeding in the sitting position, the mother holds the baby in an inclined upright position on her lap; the baby’s head on her forearm on the same side close to her breasts, and the neck is slightly extended.
- Good attachment means the infant’s mouth is wide open and the chin touches the breast.
- The mother should guide the nipple and areola into the baby’s mouth for effective milk transfer.
- The milk transfer to the infant begins with a good latch on and by peristaltic action of the tip of the tongue to the base.
- The proper position for milk transfer is chest-to-chest contact between the infant and mother. The infant’s ear, shoulder, and hip are in one line.
- The baby sucks the areola (lactiferous sinuses) and the nipple holding it between the tongue and the palate.
- Feeding in lateral position following cesarean delivery or with painful perineum is carried out by placing the baby along her side between the trunk and the arm.
