“…Skin-to-skin contact between a mother and her newborn enhances both newborn feeding ability and behaviours conducive to suckling ability [16-19]. Righard and Alade observed that newborn babies are able to attach to the breast independently and suckle effectively if allowed continuous uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact with their mothers for one hour following birth [20,21].…”

BackgroundBest practice guidelines to promote breastfeeding suggest that (i) mothers hold their babies in naked body contact immediately after birth, (ii) babies remain undisturbed for at least one hour and (iii) breastfeeding assistance be offered during this period. Few studies have closely observed the implementation of these guidelines in practice. We sought to evaluate these practices on suckling achievement within the first hour after birth.MethodsObservations of seventy-eight mother-baby dyads recorded newborn feeding behaviours, the help received by mothers and birthing room practices each minute, for sixty minutes.ResultsDuration of naked body contact between mothers and their newborn babies varied widely from 1 to 60 minutes, as did commencement of suckling (range = 10 to 60 minutes). Naked maternal-infant body contact immediately after birth, uninterrupted for at least thirty minutes did not predict effective suckling within the first hour of birth. Newborns were four times more likely to sustain deep rhythmical suckling when their chin made contact with their mother’s breast as they approached the nipple (OR 3.8; CI 1.03 - 14) and if their mothers had given birth previously (OR 6.7; CI 1.35 - 33). Infants who had any naso-oropharyngeal suctioning administered at birth were six times less likely to suckle effectively (OR .176; CI .04 - .9).ConclusionEffective suckling within the first hour of life was associated with a collection of practices including infants positioned so their chin can instinctively nudge the underside of their mother’s breast as they approach to grasp the nipple and attach to suckle. The best type of assistance provided in the birthing room that enables newborns to sustain an effective latch was paying attention to newborn feeding behaviours and not administering naso-oropharyngeal suction routinely.

“…This is a validated tool, which is designed to be used by mothers and healthcare professionals to guide observations of preterm infants' breastfeeding behaviour . The PIBBS was found to have a high inter-rater reliability (IRR) between nurses using the tool Nyqvist, 2013) and has been used frequently in previous research (Nyqvist, 2005;Nyqvist, Sjoden, & Ewald, 1999;Radzyminski, 2005). It has been listed by Arvedson (2008) as a tool that can be used for assessing paediatric feeding and swallowing in breastfeeding infants.…”

Title:Breastfeeding characteristics of latepreterm infants in a kangaroo mother care unit. AbstractObjective: To describe the breastfeeding characteristics of late-preterm infants (LPIs) in a kangaroo mother care unit (KMC). Materials and methods:In a 20-bed KMC unit, the breastfeeding of 73 purposively-selected LPIs' (mean gestational age: 34.8 weeks) was observed once-off, using the Preterm Infant Breastfeeding Behavior Scale. Participants' mean age was 9.5 days, mean number of days in the unit was 3.1 days, and mean number of days breastfeeding was 7.5 days on observation.

“…Compared with newborns of women who did not receive intrathecal narcotics, the newborns of women who did receive intrathecal narcotics may experience more difficulty breastfeeding during the first hours/days after birth, in direct proportion to the amount of intrathecal narcotic the mother received (Beilin, 2005;Jordan, 2005;Lieberman, 2002;Radzyminski, 2003Radzyminski, , 2005.…”

Step 7 of the Ten Steps of Mother-Friendly Care insures that staff are knowledgeable about nondrug methods of pain relief and that analgesic or anesthetic drugs are not promoted unless required to correct a complication. The rationales for compliance and systematic reviews are presented on massage, hypnosis, hydrotherapy, and the use of opioids, regional analgesia, and anesthesia.Journal of Perinatal Education, 16(1-Supplement), 65S-73S, doi: 10.1624/105812407X173191 Keywords: hypnosis and labor, hypnotherapy and labor, massage and labor, complementary therapies and labor, hydrotherapy and labor, waterbirth, water and birth, nonpharmacological pain management, analgesia and labor, nurses and pain labor, back pain and therapy and labor, movement and labor, posture and labor, maternal satisfaction, complementary therapy, opioids, epidural analgesiaStep 7: Educates staff in nondrug methods of pain relief and does not promote the use of analgesic or anesthetic drugs not specifically required to correct a complication.Step 7: Educates staff in nondrug methods of pain relief: massage, hypnosis, hydrotherapy.For a description and discussion of the methods used to determine the evidence basis of the Ten Steps of Mother-Friendly Care, see this issue's ''Methods'' article by Henci Goer on pages 5S-9S. Nondrug Pain Relief Rationale for Compliance Evidence GradeIn contrast to medication, there is minimal to no risk of adverse side effects from nondrug methods of pain relief. Massage, hypnosis, and hydrotherapy have been shown to provide significant benefits. a In addition, the implementation of comfort measures, cognitive strategies, and other self-efficacy techniques can contribute to a woman's sense of mastery over the birth experience and, therefore, her satisfaction with herself and that experience (Lowe, 2002). Nondrug pain relief methods can be used alone or in conjunction with medicinal modes of pain relief and, as such, should be available to all laboring women in all settings.

Neurobehavioral Functioning and Breastfeeding Behavior in the Newborn

Abstract: When determining physiologically what is important for the infant to successfully latch on and feed, it appears that an intact and functioning central nervous system may be one of the crucial elements.
