Exclusive breastfeeding in the provision of breast milk only, with no other liquids or food given
Complimentary feeding is defined as giving solid or semi solid foods in addition to breast milk

Since 1979 the WHO has recommended that normal full term infants should be exclusively breastfed for “four to six months”
Increasing reports suggesting an association between discontinuing exclusive breastfeeding prior to six months of age and an increase in infant morbidity and mortality
![Page 4: Breastfeeding 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070522/577cca151a28aba711a55374/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Throughout the world many professionals as well as a number of government have concluded that there is sufficient evidence to recommend continuing exclusive breastfeeding for “about six months”

Breastmilk decreasesBaby may refuse to start again
– gets less nourishment– loses more weight– takes longer to recover– lacks comfort of suckling

If breastfeedingcontinues
– gets best nourishment– loses less weight– recovers more quickly– is comforted by suckling

Breastfeeding contraindicated
Some anticancer drugs Radioactive substances (temporarily)
Continue breastfeeding : Side effects possible Monitor baby for drowsiness
Psychiatric drugs and anticonvulsants
Use alternative drug if possible Monitor baby for jaundice
Chloramphenicol, tetracycline, metronidazoleSulphonamides, cotrimoxazole, dapsone
Use alternative drug (May decrease milk supply)
Oestrogen containing contraceptives Thiazide diuretics
Safe in usual dosage Most commonly used drugs

RECOMMENDED PRACTICES TO IMPROVE INFANT NUTRITION
DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS:
Initiate b.f. within about one hour of birth
Establish good b.f. skills (proper positioning, attachment, and effective feeding)
Breastfeed exclusively for about the first six months
(Linkages-WHO, Feb 2001)
![Page 28: Breastfeeding 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070522/577cca151a28aba711a55374/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Practice frequent, on - demand b.f., including night feed
In areas where vitamin A deficiency occurs, lactating women should take a high - dose vitamin A supplement (200.000 i.u.) as soon as possible after delivery, but no later than 8 weeks postpartum, to ensure adequate vitamin A content in breastmilk
(Linkages-WHO, Feb 2001)
![Page 29: Breastfeeding 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070522/577cca151a28aba711a55374/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Continue on - demand b.f. and introduce complementary foods beginning around 6 months of age
(Linkages-WHO, Feb 2001)
![Page 30: Breastfeeding 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070522/577cca151a28aba711a55374/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Using the available information on the development of infants immunologic, gastrointestinal, oral motor function, reproductive physiology and nutrient
adequacy
the expert concluded that the probable age of readiness for most full term infants to
discontinue exclusive b.f. and begin complementary foods appears to be near
six months or perhaps a little beyond
