Questions to Answer

  • 1. Why do so many parents stop exclusive

breastfeeding during the hospital stay?

  • 2. Why do some parents seem resistant to

breastfeeding support? 3. How can education about common early breastfeeding experiences improve rates of exclusive breastfeeding?

Newborns were expected to be QUIET

DaMota et al. JHL 2012

“Every time that I tried to breastfeed, he would have a tantrum, become really

  • angry. So then I thought

‘Why? Why should I make him suffer?’”

13

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Newborns expected to SLEEP

DaMota et al. JHL 2012

“I guess she wasn’t getting enough from me… they brought me the milk and after she ate, she slept.”

Day 1: The “Good” Baby

The Golden Hour is followed by deep sleep Parents will think:

  • What a “good” quiet,

sleeping baby!

And then…

Days 2: Everything Changes

Reality sets in! Baby is expected to be quiet and sleeping, but now…SOMETHING IS WRONG! Parents ask for formula and the frantic baby falls asleep

Many mothers thought their milk would come in as their babies were born

They would also help show how to position him so that I could breastfeed him but no milk would come out and no milk would come out so then I had to give him formula. My milk didn’t come in for about 3 days…

The Perfect Latch

He didn’t suck well, he rejected it right away. I gave her formula, I would put her close but she would barely latch on. It was if she wanted everything to be easy and for everything to be fast. And I would say ‘I can’t do it either.’

Breastfeeding could not be “fixed”

He wouldn’t stop crying so the nurse gave him a

  • bottle. He latches

fine to a bottle so I said ‘okay.’

My boyfriend, he was worried about me not giving the baby enough, so he wanted me to give formula, so he knew how much he was taking. It depends on your nurse, my nurse gave me a lot in my crib… and that helped, you know, with my c-section recovery.

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Coping with Stress

 If people believe there is a solution – Problem Management

  • Seek information
  • Identify solutions
  • Attempt and evaluate solutions

 If people don’t believe there is a solution – Emotional Regulation

  • Reinterpret goals
  • Disengage, detach
  • Denial of consequences
  • Anger, aggression

Glanz J Occup Med 1992; 34: 1071-8.

Do you see these behaviors?

Baby Basics Cues

BABIES ARE DRIVEN TO LEARN AND SOCIALIZE. THEY USE CUES TO SIGNAL READINESS.

42

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Types of Infant Cues

Young infants try to tell caregivers when they want to interact (engagement cues) Young infants try to tell caregivers when they need something to be different (disengagement cues)

Kelly et al. Promoting First Relationships, NCAST Pub 2003

43

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Engagement Cues

Subtle

  • Eyes open
  • Face relaxed
  • Feeding posture
  • Raising head
  • Following voices and faces

Obvious

  • Looking intently at faces
  • Rooting
  • Feeding sounds
  • Smiling
  • Smooth body movements

Disengagement Cues

Subtle

  • Looks away
  • Faster breathing
  • Yawning
  • Hand to ear
  • Grimace
  • Glazed look

Obvious

  • Turns away
  • Pushes, arches away
  • Crying
  • Choking, coughing
  • Extending fingers, stiff hand
  • Falling asleep

Newborn Cues

Babies are biologically driven to learn! Early cues are limited and confusing When adults respond to cues, babies get better at using them – takes time

slide-51
SLIDE 51

Key Messages for Parents

Cues are simplistic and NOT specific

  • Parents may need to “play

detective” to figure out what their babies are trying to tell them For most healthy term babies, feeding cues are

  • bvious

Baby Basics Crying

CRYING IS A VITAL “TALENT” USED BY INFANTS TO INDICATE DISTRESS.

53

slide-54
SLIDE 54

Crying: Babies’ “Superpower”

Crying results in a sound that affects the nervous system in most adults

  • Drives adult activity!

Must be loud to rouse sleeping caregivers

  • Prompt response to cues can

reduce crying

Hiscock H. The Crying Baby. Australian Family Physician 2006; 35: 680-4.

54

slide-55
SLIDE 55

Understanding Crying

All babies cry for many reasons Hungry babies use hunger cues Occurs more often when needs are not addressed

  • Cues not clear?
  • Inappropriate response?
  • Overstimulation?

55

slide-56
SLIDE 56

Day 1 vs Day 2

56

slide-57
SLIDE 57

Calming Crying Babies

Address the issue – look for cues! Reduce varied stimulation Introduce repetitive, sustained stimulation (repetition to soothe)

57

slide-58
SLIDE 58

Why Bottles “Work”

Bottle = quiet baby

  • Crying baby must swallow-

can’t make noise

  • “sweet fluid” on tongue triggers

the sucking reflex

This can be explained to parents

58

slide-59
SLIDE 59

Be a Baby Behavior DETECTIVE!

Baby Luz is 28 hours old She was fed an hour ago, and now she is being passed around and held by relatives visiting the hospital. She begins to cry. Thinking she is hungry, her mother tries to breastfeed her. But Luz seems to get only more upset, crying, turning her head away and arching her back.

59

slide-60
SLIDE 60

Key Messages for Parents

Crying doesn’t always mean hunger – look for hunger cues (feed every time they see them) Respond to other cues as best they can Reduce stimulation if possible Use repetition to soothe as needed

60

slide-61
SLIDE 61

Baby Basics Sleep

BABIES DO NOT SLEEP LIKE ADULTS

61

slide-62
SLIDE 62

Infant Sleep States

Active sleep (REM) is light sleep

  • Babies dream and blood flow

increases to the brain bringing nutrients to active brain cells

  • Images stimulate brain

development

  • Easy to wake

Peirano et al. J Pediatr 2003; 143: 70-9.

Qui Quiet s sleep eep i is deep deep s sleep eep

  • No dreaming
  • Little or no movement
  • Important for the

brain to rest and recover

  • Growth hormones
  • Difficult to wake

Infants “cycle” through active sleep, quiet sleep, and waking.

62

slide-63
SLIDE 63

Newborn Sleep/Wake Cycle

Newborns start sleep in Active Sleep (AS) (dreaming for 20-30 mins) and move to Quiet Sleep (QS). Wake frequently

63

slide-64
SLIDE 64

Sleep patterns change predictably with infant age…

64

slide-65
SLIDE 65

Key Messages for Parents

Dreaming/light sleep are good for baby’s development and safety Newborn may wake when laid down while dreaming As they get older, babies sleep longer and more at night

The Breastfeeding Transition

Latch takes time

  • Baby will signal distress
  • Baby will attempt feeds

frequently

Expect quick improvement Can be a roller coaster at first Learning to BF is a “journey, not a moment…”

slide-72
SLIDE 72

Key Messages for Parents about Early Breastfeeding

On day 2, baby will wake and demand feeds Babies use cues – get better with response Latching takes practice – expect quick improvement Moms feel changes in breasts after discharge

72

slide-73
SLIDE 73

Supporting Lactation

Prepare for strong emotions

  • Use body language and baby behavior

knowledge to reassure

Explain and demonstrate how to obtain best level of alertness for feeding

  • Variety to awaken, repetition to soothe

Demonstrate steps for latch attempts

  • Pre-interpret or reinterpret “rejection” of the

breast

Explain feeding reflex not volume drives satisfaction with feeds – can’t rush process

Tools: Teaching Parents about Baby Behavior

75

slide-76
SLIDE 76

The Cornerstones

  • f Baby Behavior

1.Engage the caregiver by explaining baby behaviors parents see and hear (use the baby’s name) 2.Share information. Stay with the basics related to caregiver questions/needs 3.Empower parents to help them fix or cope with the issue

Simplification of NBO and NCAST interventions

76

slide-77
SLIDE 77

Engage

Show caregivers that you understand their baby (use the baby’s name) “I can see that Lila is upset. Before I came in, did she……? And then did she …..”

77

slide-78
SLIDE 78

Share Information

“Lila may cry for many reasons.” “Latching does take practice.” “It’s hard but crying more on day 2 shows us Erin is doing well.” “When her face twitches, Keisha is dreaming and sleeping lightly.”

78

slide-79
SLIDE 79

Empower

“Once you and Lila know each other better, you’ll be able to understand her cues better than anyone.” “Keisha will fall asleep in light sleep first and she’ll be easy to wake. You could hold her in the same position until she stops twitching or you could have someone else hold her until she falls into a deeper

  • sleep. What do you think will work for you?”

SLIDE 81

A mother calls you shortly after her 6 morning visitors leave. Baby Luz is 28-hours-old, quietly fussy and arching away from her mother who says “she hates breastfeeding, she’s rejecting the breast. We need a bottle.”

What might you say first?

  • a. All we need to do is calm her down, I’ll show you how.
  • b. Before she started to cry, did Luz close her eyes and try to turn her

head away when you tried to feed her?

  • c. Babies need time to learn to latch.

81

slide-82
SLIDE 82

Baby Lilly is 36 hours old. Her mother, Monica, is eagerly anticipating a consultation with the lactation consultant. She tells you, “I’ll be so relieved once they fix her latch problem and I can be sure she’s getting what she needs.”

What might you say first?

  • a. Holly will help us both see Lilly’s progress and if there is anything

slowing you guys down as you get closer to a consistent latch. It always takes a few days.

  • b. Holly is the best LC there is. She’ll be able to help you.
  • c. Don’t get your hopes up, sometimes babies take several days to latch

consistently.

82

slide-83
SLIDE 83

Simplify

Parents get overwhelmed if you make baby behavior too complicated Identify cues/signs that the baby is already exhibiting or that parents are most likely to see and use the baby’s name Promote and support interaction rather than focus

  • n infant development

Consistent messaging is important

Exclusive compared to partial breastfeeding

Even brief exposure to formula carries risks

Even brief exposure to formula alters the infant microbiome. Among infants who were exclusively breastfed post-discharge but received formula as neonates, this brief supplementation was detectable at 3 to 4 months of age, with lower abundance of Bifidobacteriaceae and higher abundance of Enterobacteriaceae. (Forbes) Avoiding cow’s milk formula for at least the first three days of life was protective against allergy at 2 years of age. (Urashima) Formula supplementation in the hospital often leads to continued supplementation after discharge. (Pérez-Escamilla; Wilde)

slide-91
SLIDE 91

Exclusive compared to partial breastfeeding (post-discharge)

Exclusively breastfed infants had lower rates of respiratory and gastrointestinal tract infections compared to partially breastfed infants. (Duijts 2010) Exclusive breastfeeding minimizes the risk of sudden infant death (SIDS), compared to partial and full formula feeding (Hauck 2011)

  • odds ratio for breast+formula feeding: 0.40 (95% CI: 0.35–0.44)
  • odds ratio for exclusive breastfeeding: 0.27 (95% CI: 0.24–0.31)
slide-92
SLIDE 92

The risk of early weaning was significantly greater for breastfed infants when they were given formula in the hospital (Hazard ratio for weaning 2.5 to 6.1 times greater for supplemented babies across the first year).

I want to initiate breastfeeding/chestfeeding within the first

attach, and I do not want the baby forced into the first feeding. I would like all newborn procedures delayed until after the first feeding with my baby lying on me or held by me. I want my baby to stay in my room with me, and I want to hold my baby skin to skin as much as possible during our stay.

slide-100
SLIDE 100

I would like help in establishing a comfortable and effective latch and learn different positions for nursing my baby. I would also like assistance in learning hand expression, how to recognize my baby is swallowing, and what to expect in the days following discharge from the hospital. If I encounter any breastfeeding problems, I would like help from an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant or

  • ther staff trained to assist breastfeeding mothers.
slide-101
SLIDE 101

 I do not want any water, glucose water, formula, bottles, or pacifiers given to my baby. If there is a medical need for supplements, I would like the opportunity to discuss it with my pediatrician and lactation consultant first, including the

 If I am separated from my baby for any reason and unable to establish breast or chestfeeding, I would like to learn how to use a breast pump to establish my milk supply.

slide-102
SLIDE 102

 I do not want to be given or shown any promotional material on formula, including diaper bags, crib cards, or the formula itself.  I would like to receive information on breastfeeding support resources in my community.  I would like help from the hospital staff to manage my visitors so I have private time to feed my baby.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

  • History of Breastfeeding Practices
  • Duration and

T ermination of Breastfeeding

  • Initiation of Breastfeeding
  • Frequency of breastfeeding
slide-123
SLIDE 123
  • Initiation of Breastfeeding: In the US, on average, 69% of mothers initiate breastfeeding at the

birth of a baby but only 13% continue to exclusively breastfeed at 6 months. The rate of continued breastfeeding varies with different races, Hispanics and Whites having the highest rate compared to African- Americans (Harley et al., 2007; Lind, 2011; Lowe, 2011; Lally, 2013).

  • The whole process of breastfeeding and the associated attachment benefits can be disrupted if

feeding does not start right away. (Lally, 2013) notes this critical period to be within 3 hours after birth.

  • Duration and Termination of Breastfeeding
  • Frequency of breastfeeding

OBSERVATIONS/TAKE AWAYS

  • Social fabric or the heart-beat of a society influences practices like breastfeeding
  • Ability and continuation of breastfeeding behaviors depends on cultural norms, both social and

professional support and encouragement

  • They would like to see support programs in the community
  • The mothers expressed dis-satisfaction with the overall experiences of breastfeeding, believing that the

babies may have missed secure attachment and the experience was not joyful.

  • Expected to find change in attitude and practice.

Practices (changed) and attitudes (no change)

  • 3. What do you believe are the most important benefits of breastfeeding?
  • 4. How long do you think children should be breastfed?
  • 5. How would your feelings and beliefs be different if you were living in your country of origin?
  • 6. Who provided support for breastfeeding? How did they show support? Did anyone discourage breastfeeding? How?

Breastfeeding practices (Growing up, Parent choices) Attitudes about breastfeeding (beliefs, benefits, length of time) Changes in practices/attitudes from country of origin Support for breastfeeding (sources, desired, support in home country)

slide-128
SLIDE 128
  • Breastfeeding Practices and Experiences in own country
  • All the participants stated that they were breastfed as babies. The

duration of breastfeeding varied from 1 -2 years, some didn’t know.

slide-129
SLIDE 129
  • Breastfeeding practices with own children in U. S. A.
  • All the participants reported choosing to breastfeed their own children. One

exclusively breastfed for one and half years, stopped after realizing that she was pregnant, otherwise she would have continued until the baby didn’t want to nurse anymore

slide-130
SLIDE 130
  • She did not work out of the home and was the most highly educated. This

agrees with the previous study which showed poverty and employment as barriers (Lowe, 2011) to breastfeeding duration.

  • Over half of the participants reported introducing formula early, (at birth, 3

months, 4 months, 6 months) because of insufficient breast milk production, with doctor’s advice.
