Abstract: Breast milk provides optimal nutrition for babies and exhibits short and long-term health benefits for mothers and babies. Comparing the breastfeeding figures worldwide, Hong Kong has lower breastfeeding rates compared with other developed countries. Clinically and locally, inadequate skill support from nurses decreases breastfeeding rates. This thesis introduces evidenced-based guidelines of breastfeeding focused on skill training for improving duration and exclusiveness of breastfeeding. Based on available evidence, the guidelines aim to improve breastfeeding rates. The guidelines focus on skill training (position and attachment) as major component. Transferability and feasibility to apply the guidelines clinically was assessed. Lastly, an implementation plan was discussed. DOI: 10.5353/th_b5088458 Subjects: Breastfeeding promotion

Abstract: Breast milk is well recognized as the best natural food for infants and is also known to provide immediate and long-term health benefits for infants. According to the Baby- Friendly Hospital Initiative Hong Kong Association, the breastfeeding initiation rate in Hong Kong has been continuously increasing. For duration of breastfeeding, World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for six months and the introduction of complementary food should start since the age of two. Despite active promotion of breastfeeding up to 6 months, the exclusive breastfeeding rate is still low and women in Hong Kong generally stop breastfeeding within the first few months. The Department of Health in Hong Kong facilitates a supportive environment in all Maternal and Child Health centres to promote breastfeeding. To support mothers exclusively breastfeed for the first six months, a structured individualized lactation counseling and support is worth to implement when mothers are discharged from hospital around 48 hours and transfer to primary care. The individualized lactation counseling provides latching technique to ensure proper attachment and positioning to prevent early complications at the early postnatal. It also continues to follow up until 1-to-2 weeks after delivery. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the individualized professional lactation counseling and support at early postnatal periods to prolong the duration of breastfeeding. Eight studies were identified after comprehensive literature review and the quality of these studies was assessed. An evidence-based guideline was developed based on the analyzed research findings. The implementation and evaluation of the proposed guideline were compiled in this translational research. An evidence-based guideline for providing individualized lactation counseling and support was developed to help health professionals to provide competent and effective breastfeeding counseling to mothers. The purpose of the guideline is to encourage mothers to breastfeed up to six months. DOI: 10.5353/th_b5088236 Subjects: Breastfeeding promotion
Download or read book The Optimal Duration of Exclusive Breastfeeding written by Department of Child and Adolescent Health and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2002 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The longstanding debate over the optimal duration of exclusive breastfeeding has centered on the so-called "weanling's dilemma" in developing countries: the choice between the known protective effect of exclusive breastfeeding against infectious morbidity and the (theoretical) insufficiency of breast milk alone to satisfy the infant's energy and micronutrient requirements beyond 4 months of age. The primary objective of this review is to assess the effects on child health, growth, and development, and on maternal health, of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months vs exclusive breastfeeding for 3-4 months with mixed breastfeeding (introduction of complementary liquid or solid foods with continued breastfeeding) thereafter through 6 months.

Download or read book Breast Feeding Program written by Nicole D. Becker and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on evidence based research, C and C Reece Medical Center (CCRMC) is below state and national exclusive breast feeding standards. Assessing CCRMC09́s current exclusive breastfeeding program, provides concrete evidence of poor exclusive breastfeeding standards. The lack of an exclusive breast feeding policy, nursing knowledge, patient education, exclusive breast feeding support and resources are the reasons CCRMC falls below state and national exclusive breast feeding standards. Implementing a breast feeding program such as the 0−́Texas Ten Step Program0+́, will provide CCRMC with the proper exclusive breast feeding policy, tools and education for nurses to gain proper knowledge of exclusive breast feeding, patient education and exclusive breast feeding resources needed. The education and tools/resources provided within the 0−́Texas Ten Step Program0+́ will allow CCRMC to rise to state and national exclusive breastfeeding standards. Incorporating the director of women09́s and children09́s services, management and co-workers while sustaining additional support and approval from the hospital CEO, obstetricians, pediatricians, local WIC agency, lactation consultant, nursing informatics and quality improvement provides a solid foundation of exclusive breastfeeding support. Evaluating the effectiveness of the 0−́Texas Ten Step Program0+́ is crucial and will be accomplished by utilizing the 0−́Star Achiever Tool Kit0+́, 0−́Texas Ten Step0+́ score card and chart reviews. The evaluation tools will track the exclusive breast feeding program outcomes (positive and negative) and the areas of improvement will be addressed by the recommendations of the 0−́Texas Ten Step Program0+́. The ultimate goal is to provide optimal care to all CCRMC exclusive breast feeding mothers/infants while rising above and beyond state and national exclusive breast feeding standards.
