“…Prominent professional organizations such as WHO and UNICEF (1989), the American Academy of Pediatrics (Gartner et al, 2005) and the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (Chantry, Eglash, & Labbok, 2005) recommend breastfeeding as an optimal source of food, ensuring appropriate physical, emotional and mental development of a child (Gartner et al, 2005;Nehring-Gugulska & Żukowska-Rubik, 2006;Stuebe & Schwarz, 2010). At the same time, abundant scientific research confirms that the competent care of a mother and a child, from the first hours of a child's life (which largely takes place in obstetric wards), promotes stimulation of lactation and helps to avoid problems related to lactation which often discourage mothers and hinder breastfeeding (Bigelow et al, 2014;Grassley & Nelms, 2008;Haroon, Das, Salam, Imdad, & Bhutta, 2013;Mathews, Leerkes, Lovelady, & Labban, 2014;Spatz, Kim, & Froh, 2014;Spiby et al, 2009).…”
