Skin To Skin

Skin-to-skin contact during the first hour following birth is the gold standard in breastfeeding. Although consecutive meta-analyses report no adverse effects, a recent review shows an increase in idiopathic sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC) in healthy term babies identifying three main risk factors: skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, and baby lying prone. Concurrently, authoritative visual materials tacitly promote maternal supine postures illustrating the breast crawl, a form of birth skin-to-skin contact. The naked baby lies on top of his or her mother’s body, in close ventral contact with torso parallel to the floor—a position strongly associated with sudden infant death. Biological nurturing (BN) research, the first to examine maternal postural effects on breastfeeding success, suggests that a semireclined maternal position is optimal for breastfeeding initiation. The maternal body slope ensures that the baby lies tilted, a position known to promote oxygenation. The angle of maternal recline, a variable central to BN but hitherto ignored in the skin-to-skin and SUPC literature, is unrelated to dress level. This commentary develops a postural argument to increase understanding of the potential role played by the maternal body slope to reduce the risk of idiopathic SUPC.

Initiation Of Breastfeeding

Early initiation of breastfeeding is an effort to provide colostrum which is rich protective factors. This study aimed to determine the effect of early initiation of breastfeeding on breastmilk volume. This research use quasi experimental. The results showed that the Mann-Whitney test obtained a value of p=0.000 < of α=0.05, there was an effect on breastmilk volume in mothers who did early initiation of breastfeeding. Implementation of early initiation of breastfeeding in case group was 100% otherwise not done in control group, the duration 64% hasn’t been standardized, the breastmilk volume on the third day after early breastfeeding initiation was categorized sufficient (56%) and a lot 40%, which was not 76% breastmilk volume is lacking, there is a difference on breastmilk volume in mothers who have early initiation of breastfeeding and do not have. There is an effect on breastmilk production. It is expected that the role of midwives in providing information to mothers before giving birth about the importance of early breasfeeding initiation. It is expected that midwives will emphasize more on the duration of skin to skin contact, according to minimum standards of 1 hour, Rumkit Tk II Prof. Dr. J.A. Latumeten is expected to do early initiation of breastfeeding as a fixed procedure in the maternity room.

The Impact

Introduction: Breastfeeding is the optimal method of feeding children during the first period of their life. The correct management of lactation is essential for proper breastfeeding initiation which would be continued long enough. Many factors have a huge impact on lactation, among others mode of delivery, parturition, hospital procedures and practices, such as suctioning the airway, ‘skin to skin’ contact, feeding the baby, and the competent support of the staff. The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of selected procedures related to childbirth and post-natal care, as well as hospital practices on lactation.Materials and methods: The study involved 145 women who gave birth in the Department of Foetal Medicine and Gynaecology Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin located in Police, West Pomeranian Province in Poland. The research was carried out by a diagnostic survey with a self-authorship questionnaire.Conclusions: 1. Some hospital practices, such as suctioning the airway, short ‘skin to skin’ contact after cesarean delivery, and complementary feeding of a newborn baby with a bottle had negative impact on maintaining lactation. 2. Complementary feeding of an infant with a bottle was a frequent hospital practice. As the procedure has an adverse impact on lactation, breastfeeding should be replaced by complementary feeding in an alternative way only in justified cases. 3. Most of the patients who obtained support during lactation were breastfeeding exclusively. Competent assistance in initiating and maintaining lactation is the responsibility of the medical personnel, thus there is a necessity for their permanent development, and a constant need to modify hospital practices to ones that affect lactation favourably.

Background: Breastfeeding has been shown to result in extensive physical and psychological benefits for both the mother and the newborn. However, the rate and duration of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) remains low worldwide. Mother–infant skin-to-skin contact (SSC) immediately after birth has demonstrated results that support the argument for breastfeeding continuation. Research aim: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of EBF 3 months postpartum and the effect of early SSC in maintaining optimal EBF practices for mothers and their healthy newborns. Methods: We conducted an observational, retrospective study in Spain from 2013 to 2015. Pregnant women were interviewed immediately postpartum and again at 3 months postpartum regarding variables associated with breastfeeding initiation and continuation. Results: There were 1,071 women recruited. Early SSC was performed in 92% of vaginal births but only 57% of urgent cesarean births. Of women breastfeeding at discharge, 69.5% performed SSC with their newborn. We found that 68.6% of women were exclusively breastfeeding by discharge and 46.7% by 3 months postpartum. Type of feeding at discharge, country of origin, and parity were found to be associated with each other ( p = .003, p = .001, respectively). Early SSC was also significantly associated with type of feeding at discharge, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months postpartum ( p < .001). Hypogalactia (19.8%) was the most frequently reported factor for breastfeeding discontinuation. Conclusion: Breastfeeding promotion interventions are likely to improve breastfeeding rates at 3 months postpartum. Social and economic factors should be taken into account when such programs are planned to be implemented.

Over the last 20 years, the Unicef UK Baby Friendly Initiative (BFI) has succeeded in gaining national recognition for the importance of breastfeeding and creating new ‘common knowledge’ related to many breastfeeding practices in the health service and among policy makers. For example, once hotly debated topics such as skin-to-skin contact, rooming in, teaching mothers how to breastfeed and avoiding supplements are now accepted as good practice. While not every mother in the UK receives this level of support, overall standards have improved and breastfeeding initiation rates have steadily increased: from 62% in 1990, to 76% in 2005, to 81% in 2010 (...

Objectives: were to (a) determine incidence of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in all women delivering between 2009 and 2015, and (b) determine the amount of Estimated Blood Loss (EBL) and duration of the third stage of labor in each subgroup for women with or without PPH, and (c) compare EBL and duration of 3rd stage of labor between subgroups in groups of women with or without PPH. Design: A retrospective chart review conducted using codes for atonic PPH. Setting: Records from a University based tertiary setting, 264 charts were reviewed and data from 154 charts were analyzed. One-way ANOVAs followed with post-hocs and a 2-way ANOVA were conducted. Results: PPH rate increased by 47.50% from 2009–2015. For women with PPH, EBL was lower in skin to skin contact (SSC) + Breastfeeding (BF) subgroup. For women without PPH, EBL was lower in SSC only subgroup. Third stage of labor duration was longer in women with PPH. Conclusions: Study confirmed the increasing trends of PPH due to uterine atony and proposed role of SSC and BF in decreasing EBL and shorten the duration of the 3rd stage of labor for PPH women, usefulness of SSC and BF as physiologic practices merit further study.
