“…Previous reports have demonstrated the importance of early initiation of breast-feeding post-delivery for successful lactation (21)(22)(23). In this study, there was no difference between cases and controls in the frequency of feeding in the 2 days prior to review but there was a significant delay in the age of the neonate at first feeding in the dehydrated group, in particular for babies delivered by cesarean section.…”

Data were prospectively obtained from exclusively breast-fed healthy term neonates at birth and from healthy mothers with no obstetric complication to determine risk factors for excess weight loss and hypernatremia in exclusively breast-fed infants. Thirty-four neonates with a weight loss ≥10% were diagnosed between April 2001 and January 2005. Six of 18 infants who were eligible for the study had hypernatremia. Breast conditions associated with breast-feeding difficulties (P < 0.05), primiparity (P < 0.005), less than four stools (P < 0.001), pink diaper (P < 0.001), delay at initiation of first breast giving (P < 0.01), birth by cesarean section (P < 0.05), extra heater usage (P < 0.005), extra heater usage among mothers who had appropriate conditions associated with breast-feeding (P < 0.001), mean weight loss in neonates with pink diaper (P < 0.05), mean uric acid concentration in neonates with pink diaper (P < 0.0001), fever in hypernatremic neonates (P < 0.02), and the correlation of weight loss with both serum sodium and uric acid concentrations (P < 0.02) were determined. Excessive weight loss occurs in exclusively breast-fed infants and can be complicated by hypernatremia and other morbidities. Prompt initiation of breast-feeding after delivery and prompt intervention if problems occur with breast-feeding, in particular poor breast attachment, breast engorgement, delayed breast milk "coming in", and nipple problems will help promote successful breast-feeding. Careful follow-up of breast-feeding dyads after discharge from hospital, especially regarding infant weight, is important to help detect inadequate breast-feeding. Environmental factors such as heaters may exacerbate infant dehydration.

“…Regular counselling at different time intervals resulted in sustained breast feeding in later life. 10,11 Studies reported that early initiation of breast feeding had powerful influence over the duration of EBF up to 6 months. 12,13 A study of selected Mexican hospitals showed that counselling combined with babies staying with their mothers, significantly increased full breastfeeding among primiparous mothers.…”

Background: Breastfeeding for a newborn is a standard of care. Breast feeding rates are documented low in our country. Objective of present study was to find out the effect of lactation counselling on breast feeding rates.Methods: It was an open lable randomized control trial and conducted at Department of Pediatrics and Obstetrics of a tertiary care hospital of Northern India. Eligible subjects were 3rd trimester mothers admitted for delivery. Student t test and chi square test were used.Results: Breast feeding counseling (intervention) group resulted in early imitation, higher breast-feeding rates at discharge and follow up.Conclusions: Breast feeding counselling improves initiation, breast feeding rates at discharge and beyond. This study also emphasizes that lactation counselling is useful. Every opportunity of counselling should be availed by health care workers to promote breast feeding.

“…Colostmm is unique in composition and supplies the infant with all caloric requirements in the first few days of life, provided that the baby has unrestricted access to the breast (Salariya et al 1978). When a mother experiences breast-feeding problem s there are many d octors who incorrectly advise supplementary formula feeds, and then resort to test weighing to try to solve the problem on a more scientific basis.…”
