“…Recommendations from nurses, midwives, doctors, and other health professionals did prove to be highly predictive of BMS use in both study populations. This finding is consistent with other studies that have evaluated determinants of non‐medically indicated prelacteal feeding of BMS (Boban & Zakarija‐Grković, ; Grassley et al, ; Temple Newhook et al, ). Lack of adequate or continued training and support for frontline health care workers could contribute to high rates of BMS feeding in delivery facilities; hospitals with robust breastfeeding education and policies tend to have better breastfeeding outcomes in the first days after birth (Li et al, ).…”

“…Colostrum, the mother's first milk produced from birth until about day 3 of life, is a unique bioactive substance, which has important immunologic, nutritional, and developmental functions in the newborn (Andreas, Kampmann, & Mehring Le‐Doare, ). Providing an infant with anything other than breast milk in the first few days after birth (prelacteal feeding) is associated with delayed initiation of breastfeeding (Grassley, Schleis, Bennett, Chapman, & Lind, ; Sharma & Byrne, ) and increases risk of pathogenic infection and diarrheal disease (Debes et al, ; Ogbo, Page, Idoko, Claudio, & Agho, ). In‐hospital breast milk substitute (BMS) supplementation during this period has a negative impact on later exclusive and continued breastfeeding (Chantry, Dewey, Peerson, Wagner, & Nommsen‐Rivers, ; T. T. Nguyen, Withers, Hajeebhoy, & Frongillo, ; Vehling et al, ).…”

Introducing breast milk substitutes (BMS) in the first days after birth can increase infant morbidity and reduce duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding. This study assessed determinants of BMS feeding among newborns in delivery facilities in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. Cross‐sectional surveys were conducted among mothers upon discharge from health facilities after delivery: 304 mothers in Kathmandu Valley and 306 mothers in Phnom Penh participated. On the basis of a conceptual framework for prelacteal feeding, multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with BMS feeding prior to facility discharge. In both Phnom Penh and Kathmandu Valley, feeds of BMS were reported by over half of mothers (56.9% and 55.9%, respectively). Receiving a health professional's recommendation to use BMS increased the odds of BMS feeding in both Kathmandu Valley and Phnom Penh (odds ratio: 24.87; confidence interval [6.05, 102.29]; odds ratio: 2.42; CI [1.20, 4.91], respectively). In Kathmandu Valley, recommendations from friends/family and caesarean delivery were also associated with BMS use among mothers. Early initiation of breastfeeding and higher parity were protective against the use of BMS in Kathmandu Valley. Breastfeeding support from a health professional lowered the odds of BMS feeding among newborns. Exposure to BMS promotions outside the health system was prevalent in Phnom Penh (84.6%) and Kathmandu Valley (27.0%) but was not associated with BMS feeds among newborns. Establishment of successful breastfeeding should be prioritized before discharging mothers from delivery facilities, and health professionals should be equipped to support and encourage breastfeeding among all new mothers.

“…Early supplementation of breastfeeding before hospital discharge is associated with shorter breastfeeding duration (DeClercq, Labbok, Sakala, & O'Hara, ; Parry, Ip, Chau, Wu, & Tarrant, ), and offering supplementation to healthy breastfeeding newborns can adversely affect the mother's ability to achieve breastfeeding goals (DeClercq et al., ). Factors associated with early supplementation of healthy newborns before hospital discharge include cesarean birth (Biro, Sutherland, Yelland, Hardy, & Brown, ; Grassley, Schleis, Bennett, Chapman, & Lind, ; Parry et al., ), infant age at first breastfeeding (Grassley et al., ; Parry et al., ), and parity of the mother (Gagnon, Leduc, Waghorn, Yang, & Platt, ; Martens & Romphf, ). Researchers identified that staying more than one night in the hospital (Grassley et al., ; Margolis & Schwartz, ) and the infant being born at night (Gagnon et al., ; Grassley et al., ) increased the odds of supplementation before hospital discharge.…”

“…Studies have shown that non-medical reasons including the introduction of compensation were commonly used. The most common non-medical reasons for introducing infant formula were that the mother requested that it be added, that the number of times the baby breastfed in a day were too few, and that the infant was too sleepy to breastfeed at night [31,32]. Our reflection is that this highlights the importance of having a breastfeeding policy for supporting nursing mothers.…”

Abstract:Background: Breastfeeding problems are common during the early period but can often be prevented or overcome with adequate support. Child-health nurses meet almost all children during their first weeks of life and play an important role in promoting breastfeeding and in strengthening parents' confidence and their belief in their own ability. It is, therefore, important to gain more knowledge about child-health nurses' experiences.Objective: To describe child-health nurses' experiences of providing breastfeeding support.Methods: This qualitative study is descriptive with an inductive approach. A purposive sample of eight child-health nurses recruited from district health care centers participated. Data were collected through focus group interviews and analyzed with content analysis.Results: Child-health nurses consider it to be important to provide early breastfeeding support and that early hospital discharge following birth can complicate breastfeeding. Furthermore, the introduction of infant formula and tiny tastes given to the baby can be a barrier to breastfeeding. Parents' confidence had an effect on breastfeeding, and breastfeeding is promoted by confident parents. Trends and cultural differences have an influence on parents' attitudes toward breastfeeding. Child-health nurses stated the importance of having a consensus breastfeeding policy. Conclusion and Recommendation:A number of factors affect breastfeeding, and breastfeeding support from child-health nurses is important in the early stages after birth. To conclude, the support must be individually tailored with a focus on the parents' needs. There is a need for greater cooperation between the maternal care and child-health care staff in order to provide adequate and continuous breastfeeding support throughout the care chain.
