Guidelines says…

“Healthy infants should be placed & remain in direct skin-to-skin contact with their mothers

immediately after delivery until the 1ST feeding is accomplished.”

Attachment Right at Delivery

Delivery Room Attachment• Place baby on mom’s body• Dry baby while skin-to-skin• Apgars done while skin-to-skin• Baby will rest for 20 minutes• Crawls to attach by 50 minutes• Process disturbed if removed for weight,

measuring, etc. Righard, L, Alade, M. (1990) Effect of delivery room routines on success of first breast-feed, LANCET 336: 1105-07

Transition is the baby’s first 12 hours.

What occurs in transition?

16

Skin-to-skin is the best place to spend transition even when awake

period?

Do we need to worry that he is not eating?

• No, he is in transition & may not feels like eating if awakened

• Remember we are discussing full term normal newborns

• Explain to family that he will eat when he awakens

20

When baby wakes after this deep sleep, he will go to the breast again

He may falter a bit but it is normal for him to lick, try and learn

What does baby need this first day?

27

American Academy of Pediatrics and The Joint Commission says 8-12 feedings per

each 24 hours

Can he do it thisfirst day?

28

© Kittie Frantz

American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology: GUIDELINES FOR PERINATAL CARE, 6th ed. AAP & ACOG, Elk Grove Village, IL 2007.

The first 24 hours• He breastfed at delivery once

• If he doesn’t feed during the transition sleep (8 hrs) then…,

• The next 16 hours he will need to do 7 feedings

• That is about every 2.25 hours until he is 24 hours old. It works!

29

The problem with saying “every 2-3 hours”…

• Parents choose the 3 hours

• Smaller babies need 10-12 feeds

• Parents try to schedule the baby and ignore baby’s feeding cues

• Parents try to get the baby to sleep longer with swaddling and pacifiers

30

Best to say feed as often or as long as baby wants to or when baby shows feeding cues

31

Brazelton infant states

• Deep sleep (nothing moves)• Rem sleep (eyes closed but move)• Quiet/semi-awake (eyes, mouth, hands move)• Alert awake (eye contact, quiet)• Active alert (moving a lot, arm cycling)• Crying

32

Brazelton, TB, Nugent, JK (2011) Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale, 4 th ed. CLINICS IN DEVELOPEMENTAL MEDICINE, #190, Wiley, Hoboken New Jersey

Which infant state is best for feeding?

• Deep sleep (nothing moves)• Rem sleep (eyes closed but move)• Quiet/semi-awake (eyes, mouth, hands move)• Alert awake (eye contact, quiet)• Active alert (moving a lot, arm cycling)• Crying

33

Teach mom the feeding cues and states

• Babies feed best in REM sleep or Quiet/semi-awake states

• Crying disorganizes the baby• Teach mom what to look for in cues

and states• Baby should be skin-to-skin, loose in

a blanket or in a sleep sack blanket

34

Swaddling prevents baby from waking – can’t arm cycle – and doesn’t fully awake

Your responsibility is to be sure baby breastfeeds 8-12 times each 24 hours

This is an American Joint Commission Sentinel Alert

Pacifiers not recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics until

breastfeeding is well established Why?

37


What about the length of the breastfeed?

• Parents don’t like being told a different number of minutes per breast by different nurses or doctors

• 10-15 minutes per breast is too short for colostrum!

• The American Academy of Pediatrics says no time limits for each feed. Feed until the baby falls asleep and lets go of the nipple

• We found our babies take 45 to 60 minute feedings the first two days!

38


What about the length of the breastfeed?

• We told the moms let him feed on the first breast till he spits it out

• Then feed on the second breast till he comes off by himself asleep

• Be sure baby is in a nice asymmetrical latch to protect the nipples

39

Colostrum suckling takes a LONG time

But, doesn’t he need to eat during transition???

42

Term babies are born with a “backpack”

• Tissue edema• Subcutaneous fat stores• They use this fat & urinate out the edema

constitutes the weight loss:– 5.5 -6/6% Between day 2 & 3 – 7-8% IN 1ST Week– No more than 12% in the first week

43


But, doesn’t he need to eat???

• Stomach is marble (5-7cc) sized at birth and initially not very elastic

• Stomach can stretch to take 20 CCs on the 1st day

• Frequent slow drip of colostrum is kind

• Is colostrum so thick so it won’t come too fast?

44

But, doesn’t he need to eat???

• Nurses know that if you give more than 20ccs that first feed that it might come back up!

• We don’t do baby a favor by forcing the stomach expansion those first few days

45

We need to explain this to the parents

• Show them a visual

• Tell them that their baby’s stomach is about the size of his fist when full

• Stress frequent refills!

46

We need to explain this to parents• Formula in the first week alters baby’s immune

system Host,A 1991 Importance of first meal on the development of cow’s milk allergy & intolerance ALLERGY

PRAC. 12(4):227-32

• Overfeeding in the first week sets baby up for future obesity

Stetler, N 2005 Weight gain in the first week of life and overweight in adulthood. CIRCULATION,111:1897-1903

47

What to do when she insists on a bottle

• Nurse to solve any problems, educate her and chart the interaction

• If she still insists on a bottle, get a doctor’s order. Chart the reason for the formula

• Offer formula not in a bottle with nipple. We choose the feeding tube device (SNS) at the breast as that is breastfeeding

48World Health Organization, UNICEF The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative

What to do when she insists on a bottle

• Take ONE bottle into the room

• Always OPEN that bottle

• Educate her that formula is only good for one hour after opened

• If she just breastfed, pour out all but 10-15 ml so he doesn’t spit it up!

How much does the full term baby need?

20 mls the first post partum day30 mls the second post partum day30-40 mls the third post partum day90 mls the fourth postpartum day

50

According to Scammon and Doyle, the amount baby takes doesn’t reach

120K/cal per Kg until day four….if he feeds 12 times a day for the first four

days

FIRST 12 HOURS

• What if he sleeps too much this first 12 hours?

• Remember, baby is in transition

52

Baby has blunted feeding cues if he is swaddled all the

time

53

How long can baby go without food?

• At risk for hypoglycemia?

• Skin to skin reduces energy loss

• If can’t maintain temperature skin to skin, consider sepsis

54

No energy loss here

55

Gift from Family

Mom’s feelings of inadequacy

• “What I do doesn’t matter”

• “He is getting nothing from me”

• “He feeds again and again and again”

• Knowledge that baby is bringing in the milk could be helpful

56

Suggestions for managing her rest

• Close your eyes and sleep between feeds

• Manage your visitors wisely

• Turn off or turn down the TV volume

• Turn your cell phone ringer off

57

Gift from Family

Anticipatory Guidance

• Tell her baby will feed every 2 – 2½ hours this first night

• If she knows this is coming, she may not view it as a problem and panic

• Can Dad or Grandma stay to watch her so she can sleep while baby breastfeeds?

58

Wet diaper minimum should be 1 for each day of the week

59One wet diaper is fine this first 24 hours

© 1996 Kittie Frantz

THE SECOND 24 HOURS

• American Academy of Pediatrics says baby is to feed 8 -12 times this next 24 hours

• But …… babies are night people!

60


Night people???• They sleep a lot in the

day

• They do most feeds between 6pm to 6am

• Prolactin is the highest from 1-5am

• This is the pattern for the first THREE weeks and is normal

61


We need to teach this or parents try to “fix it”

• Pacifier• Swaddled all the time• “Shushing” a crying baby• Waking baby in the day time• Parent finger in mouth to hold him off• Asks to send baby away at night• Grandma or dad asks to give baby a bottle

62

Too many visitors in the day tires mom so that she has no energy to care for the baby at

night

63

Gift from Family

What to do to ensure her rest in the day??

• Mornings are baby’s sleepy time and ideal for mom to sleep too

• No visitors until 11:00 am

• Classes or visits by ancillary staff suggested for the afternoon when dad can attend

64

The second night feeding frenzy!

• Baby will want to breastfeed A LOT this night

• We don’t really know why?

• We see it happen even with moms tandem nursing a toddler

• Doubt it is lack of milk but perhaps a rhythm in the baby

65

Get the mother comfortable

Baby is preventing engorgement if he is allowed to nurse a lot this night!

• If you explain this process

• She will respect your tips because it worked!

69

UNICEF

Engorgement can be caused by:

70

• Giving bottles of formula

• Using a pacifier

• Keeping baby swaddled

• Scheduling the feedings by parents

• Taking the baby away at night


72

Two wet diapers are the minimum for this second day


THE THIRD 24 HOURS

73

Milk is in before 48 hours if baby got to feed 8 – 12 times/24 hours for long feedings in the first two

days

• She needs to see success!

• Show her and praise her!

74

If baby is not suckling well, then:

• The milk coming in may be delayed

• Or she might get engorged even if feeding 8 – 12 times/24 hours

75

The length of the feeding may change because the milk is in

• When the milk comes in, the feedings shorten

• Still feed the baby till he falls asleep

• Help her resist others who tell her how long baby should sleep

76

Cluster feedings: a few feedings really close together usually in the evening

• Well documented cluster feedings for the normal newborn Why?

• Baby was fed continuously in the womb

• Is this a gradual transition to more spaced out feedings?

77

Use feeding chart to teach

Simplify any charts they may use

Circle clusters to show they occur every day

78Gift from Family

Milk coming in means a faster flow and now baby has to coordinate his

suckle & swallow with breathing

79

This challenges some newborns and they may balk a bit!

• Baby-led latch really helps here

• Let him sleep with mouth near the nipple so he can wake to suckling

• Pump if engorged to slow the initial flow

80

Watch as baby dances at the nipple knowing a flow is coming!

The flow of the milk organizes the suckle

The baby who did not suckle well, may now improve rapidly!

82

The faster flow may organize the suckle and sore nipples may vanish

Get mom excited to know her milk is in!

• Teach the new sound of consistent swallows

• Have her watch the wide jaw openings as baby swallows

84

It is an art to send the parents home confident in the breastfeeding!

85

How will I know my baby is getting enough?

Do wet diapers or stools gauge the milk intake the best?

86

Shrago says stools are a better indicator of milk intake

• More stools indicate more colostrum ingestion

• The magic number is 4 stools within the fourth 24 hours

Shrago,L. (2006) Pediatric Nursing;32(3):195-201

87


89What is he peeing out? 3 wet diapers for this 3rd day


Turning her fears into proactive steps

• Feed often

• Feed long

• No bottles, pacifiers, swaddling so he does feed often and long

• Hand express to store as insurance

91

DISCHARGE SUPPORT

92

Many moms quit in the first week without these questions addressed

93

We all know that formula at discharge can encourage that fear and families will use it

95

World Health Organization UNICEF Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative

Her family is an important information source

• Encourage the 30-40 days of rest but with the baby cuddled up and nursing

• Explain how this is the secret to milk making success

• Try to get grandma in on the conversation

96

Where to call?

98

And cheer for her when her baby gains weight and is at birth weight at the 2 week visit!
