13. BREASTFEEDING A COMMINTMENT, NOT AN OPTION. MOTHER’S MILK THE BEST FOUNDATION FOR THE CHILD

14. 1. In India, only 44.6% of mothers initiate breastfeeding within one hour of birth despite the fact that about 78.7% of mothers deliver in institutions. 2.Further 64.9% of babies are exclusively breastfed during first six months and only 50.5% of babies between 6-8 months are given complementary foods.

15. Breastfeeding Early initiation of BREASTFEEDING within one hour Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months Continued BREASTFEEDING for at least two years

16. EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING Breast milk alone is the best food and drink for an infant for the first six months of life. No other food or drink, not even water , is usually needed during this period. But infant can receive ORS , syrups of vitamins and medicines when required for medical reasons.

17. Babies who are exclusively breastfed for the first six months of age are 11 times less likely to die from diarrhoea and 15 times less likely to die from pneumonia , which are two leading causes of death in children under-five years of age.

18. Breastfeeding within an hour could prevent 20% of newborn deaths.

19. BREASTFEEDING has an great impact on reduction of NEONATAL MORTALITY and INFANT MORTALITY .

20. BEST POSITION FOR BREAST FEEDING Support your baby’s head, neck, back and hips and keep them in a straight line.

21. Breastfeeding is the most NATURAL and COST EFFECTIVE intervention and should be PROMOTED AT ALL LEVELS.

22. Correct infant latch-on position Mouth covers the areola. Chin touches the mother’s breast. Lips are flanged out, tight seal. Baby’s tongue between lower gum and breast.

23. Poor breast feeding practices contribute to about 13% of child death.

24. . Breastfeeding should not be painful. If it’s painful, it’s usually due to improper latch. Poor position at the breast often results in poor improper latch.

25. COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING After 6months of age, babies should be introduced to semi solid, soft food but breastfeeding should continue for up to two years.
