Background: Breast milk is the best nutrition to every new born baby. WHO recommends that all new-borns should be breastfed within one hour of birth and then on demand. Exclusive breast feeding i.e. avoiding any other feeds till 6 months of age, is best for the baby. Despite these guidelines, our national average of initiating breastfeeding within the first hour is less than 50% as per NFHS 2015-2016.

Abstract Introduction: Early initiation of breast feeding has long been recognized as one of the most important contributor to mothers' as well as infants' health. Breast feeding should be initiated within half an hour and two hour of birth in normal vaginal delivery and caesarean section respectively. A recent systematic review regarding the timing of breast feeding initiation shows that if newborns are exposed to breast feeding at the early stage, they are much more likely to adhere to breast feeding and ultimately have better outcome in terms of less incidence of breast engorgement.

Abstract:

Background: Adequate nutrition early in life has an important role in determining infants’ growth and development, and in preventing many adult diseases. Over 2/3rd of under-5 child deaths in the world is associated with inappropriate feeding practices and occurs during infancy. Yet, only 1/3rd of world’s infants are optimally fed. Objectives: To investigate breast feeding patterns and its relation to sociodemographic factors; and to identify factors associated with initiation, continuation, and maintenance of breast-feeding. Methods: Cross-sectional, semistructured questionnaire based study.

Abstract:

A biological marker, the Maturation Index of Colostrum and Milk (MIC AM), was developed using filter paper chromatography. The MICAM consists of five patterns used to measure the individual rate of breast milk maturation among mothers. This article documents the biological basis of MICAM patterns as a gradual breakdown of an emulsion of breast milk that is dependent on the ratio of sterols plus phospholipids to fat content of the milk. Frequencies of MICAM patterns by day, timing of the milk collection, and inter-rater reliability are addressed and the construct validity is explored. This was

Abstract:

BACKGROUND Early initiation of breast feeding implies putting the newborn baby to the mother’s breast as soon as possible after delivery, preferably within one hour. Colostrum or ‘first milk’ which is secreted soon after birth helps build nutrient stores in the child and is rich in protective immunoglobulins for the child. Early initiation helps the child to learn suckling fast leading to early secretion of breast milk. We intended to find out the determinants of early initiation of breast feeding.

Background: Breastfeeding is an art and a skill which needs to be learnt and mastered. Breastfeeding practice gets affected by many factors like Social, cultural, biophysical, demographic and psychological. One of the important factors for ineffective breastfeeding is the lack of adequate knowledge of women regarding breastfeeding, such as the time of initiation of feeding, feeding of colostrum and mother’s position while feeding the baby. Objective of the study was to find out association of antenatal counselling with the preference for breastfeeding positions, early initiation of breastfeedi
