“…In our study "mother's misconception of insufficient milk" was the commonest cause of LF. Similar reason was also found by other authors [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] in 53.3%-81.1% of mothers. We found this problem in primipara (75%) mothers and commonly for male (80%) infants.…”

“…We found that younger the age of infant at the time of intervention better was the relactation achievement. Other authors [17,18,22] also reported the same result. Similarly, if age of mother was less, possibility of relactation was more.…”

“…It was found that if duration of artificial feeding was less, possibility of complete relactation was more. Other authors [17,23] have also reported that shorter the lactation gap better was the relactation result. For successful lactation, the breast should be emptied frequently (either by feeding the baby or by manual expression) and infant should be fed frequently which causes stimulation of BF reflexes [24,25].…”

“…We achieved relactation in 100% of mothers, though it may be partial. But other authors [13,[16][17][18][19] had reported relactation failure in 0.72%-20.7% mothers, which could be because of different inclusion criteria by different authors.…”

The objective of the study was to determine the causes of lactation failure (LF), factors affecting relactation in mothers having low milk supply (LMS) and LF, and to know the success rate of relactation by proper counselling and positive support group. It was a prospective hospital-based study conducted in tertiary care referral hospital in mothers with their biological infants of less than 4 months of age, who were admitted with LF and some breastfeeding (BF) related problems. Mothers were advised for frequent BF in proper position and good attachment under supervision of trained BF experts with good support group. Lactogogue was used in few mothers. There were 64 mothers with LF and LMS, out of them 45 (70.3%) were between the age of 21-35 years. Maximum infants ( = 51, 79.69%) were below 6 weeks of age; and in 32 (78.04%) infants, artificial feeding was started within 15 days of postnatal life. Commonest cause of LF was mother's misconception of insufficient milk ( = 25, 39%). Relactation was possible in 100% mothers. Complete relactation was possible in 29 (85.29%) mothers when their age was <25 years and in 38 (86.36%) mothers when their infants age was <6 weeks. Chances of complete relactation were less, when duration of artificial feeding was more and infant was fed with bottle (62.96%). We found no difference with the use of lactogogue. Relactation was possible in 100% of mothers (may be partial) by continuous and positive support from family members and trained health workers.

“…La técnica de la relactación se establece cuando la producción de leche ha disminuido o se ha abolido por falta de estímulo o en ausencia de embarazo y se reactiva mediante la estimulación del pezón y terapia psicoafectiva, hasta producir la cantidad de leche suficiente para el bebé (2,7,10,11). Una de las técnicas de relactación consiste en conectar el extremo inferior de una sonda orogástrica a un vaso con alimento lácteo, y el otro extremo, a la boca del niño junto al pezón, con la finalidad de proporcionar un flujo continuo de alimento mientras esté amamantándose, estimulando así el pecho y el pezón (4).…”

Objective: To identify the causes of breastfeeding abandonment and the success factors associated with relactation in mothers with children attended in a specialised health institution. Methodology: Descriptive transversal design through non-probabilistic convenience sampling, with 100 mothers and their children. A structured survey was used and central tendency measurements and frequencies were analysed. The study was approved by the Ethics committee of the School of Health Sciences at the University Pontificia Bolivariana. Results: The average age was 26.8 years; 73 % had a low socioeconomic level; 59 % were cohabitating; 46 % were housewives; 32 % had a high school degree; 57 % were first-time mothers; 74 % had a high obstetric risk; and 59 % had children by caesarean section. Causes of breastfeeding abandonment were newborn hospitalization (79 %) and low birth weight (52 %). Health professionals suggested substitutes for hypogalactia in 18 % of the mothers. Incorrect maternal posture: 66.1 and 61 % with no previous experience. Relactation success factors were: chronological age under one month (48 %); effective newborn breast sucking (89 %); good newborn breast grasping (71 %). During the non-breastfeeding period, 72 % received mixed milk, 82 % did not breastfeed between 8 and 30 days, 98 % of the mothers were willing to relactate, 91 % considered the support of their families and health professionals as good. Conclusion: Children hospitalization was the main cause of breastfeeding abandonment and the main success factors for relactation were effective breast sucking, mothers’ readiness and support.
