Advantages of breastfeeding
• Physiological – human milk for human baby, cows milk for calf
• High lactose content• Easily digestible protein – Whey 80%• LCPUFAs• Enzymes
• Immunologically / Microbiologically• Lactoferrin protects from E. coli• Bifidus factor promotes growth of lactobacilli• PABA protects against malaria

Advantages of breastfeeding• Physical
• Optimum fluidity• Optimum temperature

Advantages of breastfeeding
• Epidemiologically : significant decrease in mortality
• B/F babies are 14 times less likely to die from diarrhea• B/F babies are 4 times less likely to die from
respiratory illnesses• B/F babies are 2.5 times less likely to die from any
other infection

Initiating Breastfeeding• The main prerequisite for successful breast feeding is
confidence that one can do it– Inexperienced mothers have to develop it– With nuclear families, the tradition whereby the old
taught the young about practical matters of life is lost
• Stimulus of sucking of the newborn starts the secretion of milk
• To reach full milk production may take from 2 to 13 days. During this period, baby and the breast are not yet in equilibrium – the lady needs support, encouragement and supervision so as not to give up
![Page 10: Feeding infants & older children](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed7c121a28abc2698b468f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Initiating Breastfeeding• Within 30 min of a normal delivery• Within 4 hrs of a caesarean
• Colostrum is rich in proteins and immunoglobulins• The small amounts that it is produced in, in the initial
days is sufficient to meet the babies requirements• If you have too little milk - “Put him to breast, put him
to breast”
![Page 11: Feeding infants & older children](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed7c121a28abc2698b468f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Initiating Breastfeeding• Sucking in the first few days is essential to get the milk
flowing
• The small amount of milk produced is usually enough for the baby’s needs
• Early feeds are to learn how to suck and not for taking in large amounts of milk
• The quality of milk is always good
• Bottle feeding is dangerous

Signs of Good Attachment
• Chin touching breast• Mouth wide open• Lower lip turned outward• More areola visible above than below the
mouth• No pain while breastfeeding

Signs of adequate breastfeeding
• Baby sleeps/ rests for 1 – 2 hrs following feed• Urine > 5 times / day• Stools > 1-2 times / day• Mother can feel milk being drained from the
breast and the breast feels lighter following the feed
• Mother can hear baby swallowing milk• Regular weight gain

Complementary Feeding
• Breast milk inadequate after 6 mths age
• Complementary Feeding = foods that complement breast milk and ensure adequate energy, proteins and other nutrition
• Complementary feeding recommended at 6 mths in addition to B/F
• Continued B/F upto 2 yrs
