Breastfeeding - What do mother need
-
8/11/2019 Mother and Child health Saving Children Lives
54/103
Breastfeeding What do mother need
to know? Breast milk provides all the food and water
that your baby needs during the first 6months of life.
Make sure you feed your baby the firstyellowish milk known as colostrum.
Colostrum protects your baby from many
diseases. Exclusive breastfeeding means giving
breast milk only, and nothing else (noother milks, foods or liquids, not even sipsof water), except for medicines prescribedby a doctor or nurse.
Feeding your baby both breast milk andother foods or liquids, including infantformula, animal milks, or water (calledmixed feeding) before 6 months reducesthe amount of milk that you produce andcan make your baby sick.

Help baby attach to your breast Good attachment helps you to produce a good
supply of breast milk.
Put the baby to your breast within the first hour ofbirth.
Good attachment helps to ensure that your babysuckles well.
Good attachment helps to prevent sore andcracked nipples.
To make sure your baby is attached well: Touch babys lips with your nipple
Wait until your babys mouth opens wide
Quickly bring onto your breast from below,aiming your nipple up towards the roof of thebabys mouth
Baby should take a big mouthful of breast
The 4 signs of good attachment are:1. Babys mouth is wide open
2. You can see more of the darker skin (areola)above the babys mouth than below
3. Babys lower lip is turned outwards
4. Babys chin is touching your breast
Your baby should take slow deep sucks while
breastfeeding, sometimes pausing.

8/11/2019 Mother and Child health Saving Children Lives
56/103
How often should I breastfeed?
Breastfeed your baby on demand,both day and night, at least 8 to 12times each day.
Frequent feeding will help yourbody to produce breast milk.
Continue to feed until your babyfinishes the breast and comes offon his or her own. Offer the otherbreast and let your baby decide ifhe or she wants more or not.
You will know if your baby is takingenough breast milk if he or shepasses light-coloured urine at least6 times a day and is gaining weight.

Things to remember
Breast milk is the best food for babies. Breast milk also protects against infections, which are the most common causes of
illnesses and deaths in newborn infants.
Breastfeed the baby within the first hour after birth to promote milk productionand to give the baby the benefits of colostrum, the first yellowish milk that issecreted initially.
Colostrum is a natural vaccine that protects the baby from illnesses. Do not throwit away; give it to your newborn baby.
Immediate breastfeeding also helps with the delivery of the placenta and reducesbleeding in the mother.
While breastfeeding, wait until the baby spontaneously lets go of the nipple beforeswitching to the other breast. In this way, the baby is more likely to receive the fatrich milk that comes out near the end of a feed as the breast gets emptied.
Breastfeed day and night on demand whenever the baby wants milk. This willpromote milk production; it will also prevent painful breast engorgement
Exclusive breastfeeding is essential during the first six months. This means givingonly breast milk; no water, teas, other liquids, herbs, or foods. During this period,breast milk is a complete food and contains all the water a baby needs, even in hotclimates.

Breastfeeding
the remarkable first hour of life
The mothers body helps to keep the babyappropriately warm, which is especially important forsmall and low birth weight babies.
The baby is less stressed, calmer and has stable
breathing and heart rates. The baby is exposed first to the bacteria from the
mother which are mostly harmless, or against whichthe mothers milk contains protective factors
The mothers bacteria helps to prevent infection in herbaby by colonizing the babys gut and skin; as well ascompeting with more harmful bacteria from healthproviders and the environment.

Colostrum for the first feeds
Colostrum is rich in immunologically active cells, antibodies andother protective proteins. Thus it serves as the babys first
immunization and protects against many infections. It helps to
regulate the babys own developing immune system
Colostrum contains growth factors, which help the infants
intestine to mature and function effectively. This makes it more
difficult for micro-organisms and allergens to get into the
babys body.
Colostrum is rich in Vitamin A, which helps protect the eyes
and reduce infection.
Colostrum stimulates the baby to have bowel movements so
that meconium is cleared quickly from the gut. This will help
reduce jaundice in the baby.
Colostrum comes in small volumes, just right for the new baby.

Wash your hands with clean water and soap every time before touching a
low birth weight baby, in order to protect him/her from infections.
Visit the health center and get your baby weighed once a week to make
sure he/she is growing well.

Key points for counseling mothers and
families Much of the care of the small or low birth weight baby is similar to
that required by normal newborns, but these vulnerable babiesrequire extra support.
To avoid a dangerous drop in the babys body temperature,especially soon after birth:
Dry the baby quickly with a clean cloth and discard the wet cloth. Wrap the body, including the head, with a fresh dry cloth or several
cloths/blanket as required to keep the baby warm.
Check the temperature of the baby. Place your hand on the babystummy and compare its temperature with that of the hands and feet.The tummy, hands, and feet all should be warm, not too hot and nottoo cold.
Ask the mother and/or another family member to practice continuousskin-to-skin contact, also known as kangaroo mother care. Find outmore details of this component from your facility health care provideror supervisor if this is being practiced in your area.
Do not bathe the baby until the end of the first week.

Recommended breastfeeding practices
Recommended
Breastfeeding Practice
Possible Points of Discussion for Counseling (choose most relevant to mothers
situation)Put infant skin-to-skin with
mother immediately after
birth
Skin-to-skin with mother keeps newborn warm
Skin-to-skin with mother helps stimulate brain development
Initiate breastfeeding within
the first hour of birth
This first milk local word is called colostrum. It is yellow and full of antibodies
which help protect your baby
Colostrum provides the first immunization against
many diseases. Breastfeeding from birth helps the milk come in and ensures plenty of breastmilk
Exclusively breastfeed (no
other
food or drink) for 6 months
Breastmilk is all the infant needs for the first 6 months
Do not give anything else to the infant before 6 months, not even water
Giving water will fill the infant and cause less suckling; less breastmilk will be
produced
Breastfeed frequently, day
and night
Breastfeed the baby often, at least 8-12 times for a newborn, and 8 or more times
after breastfeeding is well-established, day and night, to produce lots of breastmilk
More suckling (with good attachment) makes more breastmilk
Breastfeed on demand (or
cue)every time the baby
asks to breastfeed
Crying is a late sign of hunger.
Early signs that baby wants to breastfeed:
Restlessness
Opening mouth and turning head from side to side
Putting tongue in and out
Sucking on fingers or fists

Danger sign: Not able to feed since
birth, or stopped feeding well If the baby is not able to suckle at the breast
even when the mother has tried to put the babyto the breast several times over a few hours, thisindicates the baby may have a severe illness, andis therefore a danger sign. You have alreadyobserved the baby at the breast while trying to
help the mother initiate and sustainbreastfeeding.
If the mother tells you that the baby was feedingwell after birth but has stopped feeding well now,this indicates that the baby may have a severeinfection. This is also a danger sign.
A baby with a danger sign should be referred to ahealth facility immediately. If the CHW finds adanger sign, there is no need to spend time tocomplete the rest of the assessment; instead theCHW should make urgent arrangements forreferral.
Danger sign: Convulsions or fits

Danger sign: Convulsions or fits
A convulsion or fit indicates severeillness in the baby and is therefore adanger sign.
During a fit, the baby's arms and legsmay become stiff. The baby may stopbreathing and become blue. Manytimes there may only be a recurringmovement of a part of the body, suchas twitching of the mouth or blinkingof eyes.
When you ask the mother "Has the
baby convulsed or fitted since birth?"and she says yes, this is a dangersign. If she does not understand whata fit is, explain. If she says the babydid not have a fit, do not ask anyfurther questions.

Danger signs: Fast breathing
Fast breathing: Counting breaths the newborntakes in one minute
What is a full breath?
Breathing is taking air in and out of the body
through the mouth or nose. Breaths can be counted
by looking at the breathing movements. The chest
and abdomen move out when we breathe in, andmove in when we breathe out. One outward and
inward movement of the chest and abdomen
together makes one breath.
What is fast breathing in a newborn
If the breathing rate of a newborn is 60 per minuteor more the first time, the
CHW should repeat the count.
If the second count is still 60 breaths per minute or
more, the newborn has "fast breathing", which is a
danger sign. A baby with fast breathing should be
REFERRED to a hospital.

newborn?
Wait for the newborn to be calm (orsleeping). Do not count when the babyis breastfeeding.
Make sure that there is enough light tosee the breathing movements.
Gently lift the baby's shirt so you cansee breathing movements. The chestand abdomen rising and falling oncemakes one breath.
Watch a few breaths until you are surewhen the baby is breathing in and out.
Start the timer and count the breaths
for one full minute (until the final beep,which is at the end of one minute).
Record the number of breaths.
If there are 60 breaths per minute ormore, repeat the count and record thenumber of breaths counted the secondtime

Counting when the baby is not calm or is breastfeeding Generating your own rhythm of respiratory movements
and not actually observing the abdomen of the baby
Counting for less than a minute and multiplying the result.It does not take account of irregular breathing which isnormal in newborn babies
Counting breaths loud and slower than the actualmovement of the abdomen
Counting up and down movements of chest and abdomen
as 2 breaths instead of one. Not repeating the count when the first count is 60 or more.

Chest in drawing
Normally the abdomen and chest moveout when the baby breathes in. Both
the upper and lower part of the chest
move out when the baby breathes in.
When the baby has a problem with hislungs, the LOWER chest wall goes IN
when the child breathes IN. At the
same time, the upper chest and
abdomen move out. You can therefore
see a groove forming between thechest and abdomen. Chest indrawing is
a danger sign. A newborn with chest
indrawing should be referred urgently
to a hospital.

How to look for chest indrawing
: Steps in looking for chest indrawing To look for chest indrawing, the child must be calm. The
child should not be breastfeeding.
Ask the caregiver to raise the childs clothing above thechest just like while counting breaths.
Look at the lower chest wall when the child breathes IN.
For chest indrawing to be present, it must be clearly visibleand present at every breath.
If you see chest indrawing only when the baby is crying or
feeding, the baby does not have chest indrawing. If you areunsure, decide that the baby does not have chestindrawing.

g g g ytemperature
WHY SHOULD A CHW MEASURE TEMPERATURE OF A NEWBORN?
In a previous unit, you learnt about the importance of keeping babies
warm. If a baby gets cold, he has problems in suckling at the breast, can
get sick easily and is more likely to die.
A well baby is neither hot nor too cold. When a newborn has a serious
infection, his body can become very cold. In some cases, the baby may
have fever instead. Thus, both very low temperature and high
temperature are danger signs indicating severe illness in a baby.
It can be difficult to tell whether the baby is too hot or too cold just by
touching them. The best way to knowing is to use a thermometer to
measure temperature.
Measuring temperature

8/11/2019 Mother and Child health Saving Children Lives

Measuring temperature
Take thermometer out of the box, hold at broad end Wash the area from the tip of the thermometer extending 4 cm
(the length of half a finger), with warm (not hot) soapy water. Airdry thoroughly before using.
Press the "on" button once to turn the thermometer on.
Hold the thermometer upward and place the shining tip in thecentre of the armpit. Press the arm against the side of the baby. Donot change the position.
When you hear 3 short beeps, and the numbers stop changing,remove the thermometer (this will take a few minutes).
Remove the thermometer and read the number in the displaywindow. Record the temperature reading.
Turn the thermometer off; clean the shining tip with warm soapywater, air dry, and place it in the storage case.

measurement
Thermometer not properly placed in the armpitso that the tip juts out at the other end of thearmpit of the baby.
Thermometer not held firmly in the armpit of thebaby.
Removing the thermometer from the armpitwithout hearing the three beeps, because you
think it has been there for a long time. Not recording the temperature immediately after
measuring it.

How to interpret temperature?
If a baby's temperature is:
38 0C or more: the baby has hightemperature (fever) -- this is adanger sign and the baby should beURGENTLY referred to a hospital fortreatment and care.
35.5 0C or less: the baby has verylow temperature and this is a dangersign and the baby should beURGENTLY referred to a hospital fortreatment and care.
A baby with temperature between
35.60C and 37.90C does NOT have adanger sign. However, the family of ababy with temperature between35.60C and 37.40C should bespecially counseled on keeping thebaby warm.
38.5
Danger signs: Movement
-
8/11/2019 Mother and Child health Saving Children Lives
82/103
Babies often sleep most of the time, and this is not a
sign of illness. Observe the baby's movements whileyou do the assessment. If a baby does not wake upduring the assessment, ask the mother to wakehim/her.
A baby who is awake will normally move his/her armsor legs or turn his/her head several times in a minute ifyou watch him closely. If you see the baby moving onhis/her own, he/she does not have the danger sign
"Movement only on stimulation or no movement evenon stimulation".
If the baby is awake but does not move on his own,gently stimulate the baby by tapping or flicking thesole. If the baby moves only when stimulated and thenstops moving, he/she has a danger sign.
If the baby does not move at all even after stimulation,this is also a danger sign. A baby who cannot be wokenup even after several efforts to wake him/her up alsohas this danger sign.
A baby who moves only on stimulation or does notmove at all should be
URGENTLY taken to a hospital for care.
Danger signs: Movement
Danger sign: signs of local infection

Danger sign: signs of local infection
Most common local infections occur onskin, umbilicus and eyes. Pus andredness are signs of local infection. Youshould therefore look at the:
Umbilicus: Is there pus coming out ofumbilical stump? Is the skin around the
umbilical stump red? Skin: Are there skin boils filled with
pus? Look at the whole body includingthe back, armpits and groin area.
Eyes: Is pus coming out from the eyes?
Look at both the eyes. A baby with any local infection needs
treatment because local infection mayprogress to a severe infection if it is nottreated. Refer a baby with a localinfection to a health facility.

Immunizations
As parents, we all want our children to grow uphealthy and free from the effects of seriousdisease.
One of the easiest and most effective steps wecan take to help achieve this goal is to makesure that our children receive all the
recommended childhood immunizations It is strongly recommended that immunizing all
healthy children against the 10 vaccine-preventable childhood diseases.
Children who are immunized are not the only
ones to benefit from the protection thesevaccinations give. Immunizations alsocontribute to the well-being of everyone byreducing the chance for diseases to spread.
Why should my child be immunized?
-
8/11/2019 Mother and Child health Saving Children Lives
87/103
Why should my child be immunized?
Children need immunizations (shots) to protect them fromdangerous childhood diseases.
These diseases have serious complications and can even killchildren.
Newborn babies have antibodies from their mothers and
are immune to many diseases. However, this immunity does not last and quickly wears off
in the first year of life.
By immunizing children at the recommended times, yougive their immune systems a chance to make protectiveantibodies that help fight against disease and illness.
Children who are not immunized run the risk of beingexposed to germs too strong for them to fight.
Are these diseases very serious?

8/11/2019 Mother and Child health Saving Children Lives
88/103
Are these diseases very serious?
Today we might not think of these diseases asbeing very serious because, thanks to vaccines,
we don't see them as often as we used to.
But the fact is they still exist and may lead topneumonia, choking, brain damage, heart
problems, blindness and death in children who
are not protected.

How many shots does my child need?
The following vaccinations are recommended byage 5 and can be given in five visits to a doctor orpublic health clinic:
1 vaccination against BCG
15 times 2 polio drops
3 vaccinations against Hib
3 vaccinations against diphtheria, tetanus andpertussis (DTP)
3 vaccinations against hepatitis B
3 vaccination against Pneumococcal
2 vaccination against measles/mumps/rubella (MMR)
Can my child receive many
-
8/11/2019 Mother and Child health Saving Children Lives
91/103
vaccinations at the same time?
Vaccines are as useful when combined with othervaccines as they are alone and carry no greater risk forharmful side effects.
In addition to being safe, there are two reasons forgiving children multiple vaccinations during the samevisit.
First, we want to immunize children early to protectthem at a time when they are more likely to becomesick.
Second, giving several vaccinations at one time meansfewer trips to your health care provider and may beless traumatic for your child.
Can my child be immunized if he or
-
8/11/2019 Mother and Child health Saving Children Lives
92/103
she is sick?
Even if your child has a slight fever, cold or runnynose, upset stomach, ear infection, or is taking
antibiotics, he or she can still be immunized
safely. There is no greater risk of harmful events when
immunizations are given during a minor illness.
However, if a fever or other symptoms suggest a
moderate or serious illness, your child should not
be vaccinated until the symptoms improve.
Are the vaccines safe?
-
8/11/2019 Mother and Child health Saving Children Lives
93/103
Are the vaccines safe?
Yes, very safe. But, like any medicine, they canoccasionally cause mild reactions for example, aslight fever, a sore arm or a mild rash that don't lastlong.
Serious reactions are rare, but they can happen.
Overall, vaccines are among our safest and mosteffective medicines, and most medical experts agreethat, for almost all children, the benefits of completeimmunization far outweigh the risks.
There are rare circumstances under which a childshould not receive certain vaccines, or should havevaccinations delayed. Your doctor will discuss thesecircumstances with you before giving the shots.
What will happen if my child doesn't

get the shots?
Maybe nothing, if your child is never exposed todisease.
But children are often exposed to diseases. Allbut one of these diseases (tetanus) are spread
easily from person to person. If your child has not had her shots and she is
around someone who has measles, whoopingcough or one of the other childhood diseases, she
will probably get sick, too. We are here to vaccinate the child, if your child is
not vaccinated
Is it important to keep a record of my

8/11/2019 Mother and Child health Saving Children Lives
95/103
child's immunizations? An immunization record helps you and
your health care provider keep your
child on schedule by reminding you
when his next immunizations are due.
A record should be started when your
child gets his first shot and updatedeach time he receives an immunization.
This information will be helpful if you
move or change health care providers,
and will be needed when your child
starts day care or school.
Your child's immunization record should
be treated like a birth certificate or any
other important paper, stored in a safe
place where you can find it easily.
