Breast Anatomy
Alveoli- milk making cells. Ducts- carry milk forward through the nipple.
Mammary vessels bring blood and nutrients to alveoli to make milk.

Q. What do I need to do to “get ready” for breastfeeding?
A. Be pregnant! Your body knows to get ready to feed the baby after birth!
Colostrum begins production about halfway through the pregnancy- the first meals are ready for your baby!

Lactation
Hormones
Prolactin
stimulates the alveoli to extract nutrients from the blood vessels and make human milk-promotes calming
Oxytocin
contracts muscles
surrounding the alveoli to
cause “letdown”-promotes
nurturing feelings and behaviors

Skin to Skin Care
“
Healthy infants should be skin to skin with their mothers immediately after birth and remain there with minimal disruptions throughout the recovery period until the first feeding is accomplished.”
American Academy of Pediatrics 2005

Skin-to-Skin
With Your Baby
The Best Start for Baby and Breastfeeding
Mother’s temperature rises to keep baby warm!
Less newborn crying
Improved oxygen levels in the newborn
Less initial weight loss
Better weight gain in the first weeks
Enhanced early breastfeeding

Infant upright, tummy to chest
Infant naked or a diaper
Mother no bra or camisole
Cover both with blanket or gownFor initial – remain together until infant
self-attaches
For encouraging breastfeeding-
remain skin to skin at least
30-60
minutes and showing cues

Benefits of
Colostrum
Richer in protein to maintain blood sugar levels
Higher in vitamins and minerals
Higher in immunities to prevent infections
Concentrated form designed for the first days
Laxative effect to clear meconium and excess bilirubin
Milk does not “come in”-
first milk-
colostrum
is present at birth!
Colostrum “changes-over”
to mature milk in 2-5 days after birth
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide12
Give your baby only your milk unless medically indicated.
Keeps your baby’s intestines healthy
Builds newborn’s immune systemReduces the chances of allergies
Helps assure milk supply

Newborn Stomach CapacitySlide15
Latch
is the foundation of
effective breastfeeding……
Mouth wide open
Lips flanged back
Full, round cheeks
Nose and chin touching your breast
Sucking bursts and pauses
Listen for swallowing
Feel tugging sensation
No biting or pinching sensations
No clicking/smacking sounds
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide16
Latch- mouth wide open
Baby comes “up and over”- far back on the breast
Nipple is in the top of the mouth, back of the mouth- soft structures
Only tugging, pulling sensation- NO biting, pinching sensations
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide17
Asymmetric Latch
Start with nose to nipple
Mother’s hand on shoulders
and back- not pushing head!Allow head to tilt back
Mouth opens widely
Chin and bottom lip are
first to the breast
Cadwell
, K. and Turner-
Maffei
, C. 2016.
Pocket Guide For Lactation Management.
Mouth comes “up and over” to attach far back on the breast
Nipple is in the top half of the mouth- available space- tongue is the bottom half of mouth
Attachment is “off center”- further down on the areola, more areola visible above the top lip

Mothers
and babies
belong
together!!!
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide19
Breastfeeding Positions
Newborn’s instinctive position: head and body in alignment (straight line between ears, shoulder and hip), chin not on chest (slight backward head tilt), hips flexed
Bring the baby to the breast- not your breast to the baby! Back and shoulders relaxed and supported.
Cradle, cross cradle, side hold or side-lying?
No “right” or “correct” position-
whichever is best for you and your baby!!!
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide20
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide21
Frequency of Feedings
1st 24 hours: about 8 feedings, each about a teaspoon colostrum. More frequent if skin-to-skin.
24-48 hours: 8-10 feedings.
3-4 days: increasing to 8-12 times/24 hours as milk volume increases.
Cluster feedings!!!!!!
Length of feedings: offer the 1st breast
until finished, then offer the 2nd.
No time limitations!

Feeding Cues
Baby Cue and Stage of Readiness
Wiggling - Early
Rooting - Early
Fussing - Mid
Body moving - Mid
Active crying - Late
Watch the baby-
Not the clock!!!
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide23
Supply &
Demand- “Request and Supply”
Communication between each Mother and her baby sets the amount of milk made
Important in the first days and weeks to establish each mother/baby unique needs
Avoid pumping if not separated from
your
baby or your milk is needed
for
supplementation
Avoid unnecessary supplements
for
best milk supply
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide24
After the
hospital- Is my baby getting enough?
8-12feedings/24 hours.
Can hear swallowing of colostrum or “milk”.
Urine is pale in color.
Initial weight loss no more than 7%, stops loosing weight by 5 days and back to birth weight by 2 weeks.
IV Therapy effect- IV fluids may increase initial weight, cause increased urine and weight loss not related to feeding.

Output

Normal Output Pattern
Day 1-2:
1-2 wet and 1-2 stools/24 hours
Day 3: wets and stools with stools changing to brownish greenDay 4-5: with filling of the breasts, increases to 3-4 wets and stools with stools changing to golden yellow

WHAT IF……..
….. and prevention
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide28
Low Blood Sugar
Usually defined as: <40 mg/dl
Prevention:
Skin-to-skin for warmth
Early
colostrum
feedings
No limiting of early feedings
Avoidance of “sugar waters”
USBC ( 2010) Achieving Exclusive Breastfeeding in the United States:
Findings and Recommendations.

Jaundice
High levels of bilirubin in infant’s blood: Yellowing of skin and eyes
Prevention:
Nurse within 60-90minutes after birth
Frequent, unlimited feedings of colostrum
(laxative effect)
Schedule appointment
with your baby’s Dr. in 3-5 days

Sore Nipples
Causes: Improper latch and not feeding on cue
Prevention:
No scheduled feeds- feed on cue with correct latch
First line of Defense: Correct the Latch!
Asymmetric latch
Observe for tongue tie
Review feeding cues
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide31
Engorgement
What is it?
Abundant milk
and increasing fluid in the breasts.
Causes:
Inadequate emptying of the breasts or over-stimulation with.
Prevention:
Feed frequently with baby’s cues, avoid scheduling or skipping feedings.
Filling (rounder, fuller, firmer)-
is normal!!!
Rock-hard, hot, overly-full-
is not normal!!!!
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide32
Engorgement Treatments
If infant unable to latch – may express a small amount, but only enough to soften the nipple/areola before feeding.
“Hang” breasts in tepid water, sink or basin,
for gravity emptying. May add massage
to move milk forward. Repeat as often
as needed until softened and infant
can
latch easily.
Shower with water on back-
flowing over breasts.
Discontinue unnecessary pumping.
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide33
Plugged ducts
Causes:
* Too tight or extended wearing of bras.
* Sleep position with pressure on the breast. *
Inadequate
emptying of the breasts-
missed feedings, scheduled or timed feedings.
Symptoms:
Localized redness, tenderness, warmth and pain.
Treatment:
* Warm compresses and massage before a feeding.
* Usually resolves with in 24-36 hours.
Copyright 2016 ICEASlide34
Mastitis
Symptoms: fever, flu-like symptoms, may have red streaks on the breast.
Causes: cracked nipple, plugged duct, over supply, not regularly emptying of breasts.
Call physician or Midwife.
Continue to breastfeed!!!

Nutrition for Breastfeeding
Old wives tales- no garlic, onions, chocolate, beans, citrus- not true!
General guidelines- well balanced diet- veggies, fruit, whole grains, lean meats.
Adequate fluids and water - drink to thirst- do not force fluids.Avoid fad or severe calorie
restriction diets.
Opportunity for family education.
on nutrition and healthy eating habits
Minimize hormone/chemical additives.

Breast Pumps
Hospital grade pumps-
if you are separated from your newborn. Add hand expression for more milk!
Manual pumps- economical. Double pump- for return to work or school.
Remember! No need to begin pumping for 2-3 weeks,
unless separated from your baby!!
