INTRODUCTION
Breast milk is the perfect food for normal
neonates. It is the best gift mother can
give to her newborn baby. It contain all
the nutrients for normal growth and
development of a baby from the time of
birth to the first six month of life,
proportion and in a form that is easily
digested and absorbed

bottle or other container.
Exclusive breast feeding:
It is defined as an infant consumption of
milk with no supplementation of any type
like water or juice except vitamin, mineral
and medication. It is recommended for
first six month of life. Newborn babies
consume 30-90 ml of feed.
6. 5min. To explain the
composition of
breast milk.
Composition of breast milk:
 Carbohydrates:
Lactose is in a high concentration (
6-7g/dl) in breast milk. Lactose
helps in the absorption of calcium.
 Proteins:
The protein content of breastmilk
is low (0.9-1.1 g/dl) in the breast
milk as the baby cannot effectively

metabolize a high protein load.
 Fats:
Breast milk is rich in
polyunsaturated fatty acid,
necessary for mylination of the
nervous system.
 Vitamin and minerals:
The quantity and bioavailability of
vitamins and minerals is sufficient
for the needs of the baby in the
first 4-6 months of life.
 Water and electrolyte:
Breast milk has a water content of
88% and hence a breast fed baby
does not require additional water
in the first few month of life even
in the summer months.

 Calories are burned while breast

 Osteoporosis and cervical cancer

breastfeed.
 The return of fertility is delayed
with breastfeeding.
 Breast milk is always available,
clean and at the right temperature.

Mature milk follows transitional
milk. It is thinner and watery but
contains all the nutrients essential
for optimal growth of the baby.

Preterm milk is the breast milk of

5. Fore milk:
Fore milk is the milk secreted at
the start of a feed. It is watery and
is rich in proteins, sugar, vitamins,
minerals and water and satisfies
the baby's thirst.
6. Hind milk comes later towards the
end of a feed and is richer in fat
content andprovides more energy
and satisfies the baby's hunger. For
optimum growth, the baby needs
both fore and hind milk.

of successful breast
feeding.
Steps of Successful breastfeeding:
1. Mother should be motivated right from
the antenatal period. Her breasts
should be examined and she should be
informed about the benefits of breast
feeding.
2. Every health care facility must have a

. At birth a full term normal baby must be
put to the breast within half an hour
of birth. Babies born by cesarean section
should be put to the breast within four
hours or earlier after birth.
4. Rooming in: Since feeding is the best
stimulus for milk production, babies
should be roomed-in with mother and fed
on demand till the baby is satisfied.
One breast must be emptied out fully
before the second is offered, so that the
baby receives both foremilk and hind
milk.
5. Frequency: Frequent suckling helps to
stimulate milk production. It also

14. prevents engorgement of breasts. The
baby should be fed whenever hungry.
Initially, some babies feed at short
intervals of 1 to 2 hours. Later the babies

Prelacteal feeds: No prelacteal feeds
should be given to any baby. Water,
glucose water, tea, honey etc. satisfies the
baby's thirst and hunger. These
babies will not suck vigorously at the
breast which in turn will adversely
influence the milk production. Prelacteal
feeds also increase the risk of
Infection.
7. Bottle feeds: No bottle feed should ever
be introduced. It causes nipple
Confusion and interferes with suckling at
the breast. It is also a source of
Infection.

baby releases one breast the other

The baby should be allowed to feed till
satisfied. When the baby is satisfied she
Releases the nipple.
9. Duration/continuation of breast feeding:
A baby should be exclusively breastfed
for the first 6 months. Supplementary
feeds given to the baby before six months
reduces milk production and also leads to
infection and poor weight gain in the
baby.
10. Cost of lactation: Nursing mother
needs only 600 calories extra for
maintaining her lactation, which amounts
