“…In another study, mothers who continued to breastfeed their babies were found to have higher LATCH scores (Altuntas et al . ). The TDHS (2013) showed that breastfeeding initiation was generally delayed in Turkey.…”

“…It should also be determined whether infants are receiving an adequate amount of breast milk according to their postnatal age and weight (Altuntas et al . ). Factors affecting the adequacy of breastfeeding include poor infant attachment to the nipple, not using the correct breastfeeding technique, inactive sucking by the infant, a decrease in the frequency of breastfeeding, milk duct plugging, reduction in milk descent and separation of the infant from its mother; such factors should be assessed by healthcare professionals in the early postpartum period (Ingram , Gross et al .…”

“…It is well-acknowledged that stress can interfere with the neuro-endocrine regulation of lactation both at the level of milk synthesis and milk release/ejection (6,41,46). Although a number of breastfeeding assessment scales have been developed based on a variety of infant behavioral criteria, they are not yet well-recognized (48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53). This situation is similar to that of feeding therapists' evaluation of infant's bottle-feeding difficulties as lactation consultants' feedback lack objective evidence-based studies supporting their proposed treatment(s).…”

The increase in preterm infants' survival over the last 30 years has shed light over their inability to feed by mouth safely and efficiently. With adverse events such as increased risks for oxygen desaturation, bradycardia, penetration/aspiration, infants' hospitalization in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are understandably prolonged. Unfortunately, this leads to delayed mother-infant reunion, maternal stress, breastfeeding obstacles, and increased medical costs. Such impediments have stimulated clinicians and researchers to better understand the underlying causes and develop evidence-based solutions to assist these infants. However, it is notable that the research-to-practice translation of this knowledge has been limited as there are still no validated guidelines or protocols as how to best diagnose and care for these infants. This report revisits the immature physiologic functions at the root of these infants' oral feeding difficulties, the current practices, and the recent availability of evidence-based efficacious tools and interventions. Taking advantage of the latter, it presents a renewed perspective of how management strategies can be tailored to the specific needs of individual patients.

“…Good breastfeeding techniques are the key to the success of early breastfeeding and continuous exclusive breastfeeding. The lack of breastfeeding techniques of the parturient women may lead to many problems such as incorrect breast-feeding posture, wrong breast holding, breast swelling and pain, which may eventually cause the stopping of exclusive breastfeeding [4,5] . The best time to improve the skills of breastfeeding is in the hospital and delivery institution [6] .…”

BackgroundBreastfeeding techniques are strongly associated with the exclusive breastfeeding. It is the very key time to improve mothers’ breastfeeding techniques during staying in the hospital and delivery institution, but there is little study about in-hospital breastfeeding techniques in China. This study aimed to assess the breastfeeding techniques and its associated factors among mothers in hospital. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in Peking university people’s hospital, china, from March 19, 2018 to April 27, 2018. 153 mothers selected by convenience sampling technique were investigated by questionnaire survey, which includes the LATCH scoring system, the general information and breastfeeding behavior questionnaire, the breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire, and the Chinese version of maternal breastfeeding evaluation scale (MBFES). Factors associated with in-hospital breastfeeding techniques were determined by multiple regression analysis. ResultsThe average score of breastfeeding techniques assessed before discharge was 8.63, the multipara, long hospital staying, and high breastfeeding satisfaction were positive effects to breastfeeding techniques before discharge (P<0.05), which could explain 11.2% of the variance.ConclusionAlthough the breastfeeding techniques before discharge are high, we can still make efforts to improve it. Implementing measures to promote breastfeeding, provide breastfeeding guidance right after delivery, take timely evaluation and specific guidance will be conducive to improve the breastfeeding techniques and do help to increase the exclusive breastfeeding rate.
