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.
