  1. Baby Friendly Hospital InitiativeHistory • 1982: UNICEF Director, James Grant launched initiative known as the child survival revolution, or “GOBI plan” • 'G' for growth monitoring • 'O' for oral rehydration therapy • 'B' for breastfeeding • 'I' for immunization

  2. Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative • 1991: WHO/UNICEF • “Ten steps” to successful breastfeeding • Today: 14,500 hospitals in 125 countries • 34 US hospitals

  3. Baby Friendly Hospital:What are the “Ten Steps?” • Write breastfeeding policy. • Train all health care staff. • Inform all pregnant women. • Initiate breastfeeding within an hour of birth. • Show mothers how to breastfeed. • Give infants nothing but breastmilk. • Practice "rooming in." • Encourage breastfeeding on demand. • Give no artificial teats or pacifiers. • Establish breastfeeding support groups.

  4. Effects of“Baby Friendly Initiative” • JAMA 2001 Jan; 285(4):413-420 • Promotion of Breastfeeding Intervention Trial (“PROBIT”) • 30 hospitals, randomized to receive Baby-Friendly training, or to continue their routine practices • 17,000 mother-baby pairs • Followed for 1 year Kramer, JAMA, Jan 2001

  5. “PROBIT” Results Kramer, JAMA, Jan 2001

  6. Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative: Reduction in Infections and Allergies Kramer, JAMA, Jan 2001

  7. “Maternity Care Practices:Implications for Breastfeeding” DiGirolamo, Grummer-Strawn, and Fein, BIRTH 28:2, 94, June 2001 • Surveyed 1085 women who intended to breastfeed for more than 2 months • Assessed 5 Baby-Friendly practices: • Breastfeeding initiation • Supplements • Rooming-in • Breastfeeding on demand • Pacifiers DiGirolamo, BIRTH, June 2001

  8. Percentage of women who stopped breastfeeding before 6 weeks, by specific hospital practices DiGirolamo, BIRTH, June 2001

  9. Percentage of women who stopped breastfeeding before 6 weeks, by number of Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative practices they experienced % STOPPED BF Number of Baby-Friendly Practices Reported DiGirolamo, BIRTH, June 2001

  10. “BFHI Improves Breastfeeding Initiation Rates in a US Hospital Setting” • Boston Medical Center • inner-city teaching hospital • 1800 births per year • 15-bed Level III NICU • primarily poor, minority, immigrant families • Implemented Baby-Friendly policies over a 3-year period • Reviewed 200 randomly selected medical records from each of the 3 years Philipp, PEDIATRICS, Sep 2001

  11. BFHI IMPLEMENTATION:EFFECTS ON BREASTFEEDING TRENDS Philipp, PEDIATRICS, Sep 2001

  12. “Effect on Rates of Breastfeeding of Training for the BFHI” • Controlled, non-randomised study • 4 hospitals in southernItaly (group 1) • 4 hospitals in central/northernItaly (group 2) • Implemented Baby-Friendly training • Collected data before and after training Cattaneo, BMJ, Dec 2001

  13. Breastfeeding Rates atDischarge and Three Months Cattaneo, BMJ, Dec 2001

  14. Narcotics during Labor:Effects on Newborns Given IV or IM in Labor: • Decrease alertness • Lower neurobehavioral scores • Inhibit suckling • Delay effective feeding Nissen 1995, Crowell 1994, Matthews 1989, Hodgkinson 1978, and other studies

  15. Studies specific to breastfeeding: Crowell 1994 • 48 healthy term infants • All mothers received local or pudendal anesthetic at delivery • 26 also received analgesia in labor (butorphanol or nalbupine) • Measured time to effective feeding • Effective feeding defined as 3 consecutive IBFAT scores of 10-12

  16. Time To Successful BF By Analgesia And Time Of First Feed To breast within 1 hour To breast after 1 hour No analgesia or given less than 1 hour before birth 6.4 hours (n = 8) 49.7 hours (n = 19) Analgesia given more than 1 hour before birth 50.3 hours (n = 9) 62.5 hours (n = 7) Crowell, J Nurse-Midwifery, 1994

  17. Studies specific to breastfeeding: Riordan 2000 • Studied 129 term infants born vaginally • Scored Infant Breastfeeding Assessment Tool (IBFAT) while in hospital • Measured duration at 6 weeks

  18. Types of Labor Pain Meds in Riordan’s Study: • Epidurals • Bupivacaine with fentanyl • IV Analgesia • 25-50 mg meperidine • 5-10 mg nalbuphine Riordan, JHL Feb 2000

  19. Breastfeeding Score by Labor Medication Group

  20. Any effect on BF duration? • No effect, measured at 6 weeks in Riordan’s study • Halpern (Birth 1999) also reported no effect on duration at 6-8 weeks

  21. Effect on Lactogenesis: • Hildebrandt JHL 1999 • 46 primips and 81 multips • Mothers reported time of sensation of milk coming in • Mean time in entire group was 50 hours • Multips = 45 hours • Primips = 59 hours Hildebrandt, JHL, 1999

  22. Effect of labor pain meds on lactogenesis, cont’d • Multips who delivered vaginally without medication had the shortest time to lactogenesis (44 hours) • 6 hours longer if cesarean section • 11 hours longer if primip • 13 hours longer if sedative or pain medication given during labor Hildebrandt, JHL, 1999

  23. Labor Analgesia…”Disturbs Newborn Behavior” • Ransjo-Arvidson (Birth 2001) studied 28 mothers-babies • Group 1 = no analgesia • Group 2 = pudendal block • Group 3 = epidural or pethidine or more than one type of analgesia Ransjo-Arvidson et al, Birth, 2001

  24. In Groups 2 and 3: • Infant’s massage-like hand movements were less frequent • Fewer infants touched the nipple with hands before suckling • Fewer infants made licking movements and sucked the breast • Average time to first feeding was more than 150 minutes (compared to 79 minutes in Group 1) Ransjo-Arvidson et al, Birth, 2001

  25. Significance of hand motions • Newborns use their hands as well as their mouths to stimulate oxytocin after birth

  26. Early post-birth events and oxytocin • Baby crawls to breast • Opens and closes hands • Massages the breast • Hand movements cause as high an oxytocin rise as sucking

  27. Skin-to-skin encourages oxytocin release • OXYTOCIN: • Promotes milk • Promotes mothering behaviors • Alleviates pain

  28. Oxytocin in the bloodstream • Released with nipple stimulation • Released in surges, lasting about 1-2 minutes • Contracts muscle cells • Causes uterine contractions, causing involution • Causes contractions of the muscle cells surrounding alveoli and ducts in the breast, causing milk “let down” or “milk ejection reflex”

  29. Second Stage and Early Post-birth Events and Oxytocin • Ferguson's Reflex: Physiologic response triggered by the fetal presenting part stimulating stretch receptors located in the posterior vagina at around +1 station. Stimulation causes release of oxytocin, naturally augmenting pushing. • Mother has another oxytocin surge AFTER baby’s shoulders are delivered

  30. Oxytocin effects Opposite of “fight or flight” response: • Lowers heart rate • Lowers blood pressure • Lowers blood cortisol • Affects metabolic actions • Contracts pyloric sphincter • Releases insulin and cholecystokinin

  31. Oxytocin in the brain affects social behavior • Women who have high levels of oxytocin • Produce more milk • Breastfeed longer • Are more tolerant of repetitious, boring tasks • Demonstrate more “social” behavior – better listeners • Women become more social and retain those traits if they continue breastfeeding

  32. Oxytocin as Pain-Relief • Stimulates endorphins • Increases pain threshold

  33. Endorphins in Colostrum • 2x higher than mother’s blood level • Elevated endorphins may contribute to • postnatal adaptation • overcoming stress of labor and birth • postnatal development of biologic functions Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition Aug 2001

  34. Endorphins in Human Milk • Mothers who delivered vaginally had higher levels of endorphins in their milk than mothers who had elective c-section • Preterm mothers had higher levels than term Zanardo, J Ped Gastroenterol Nutr, Aug 2001

  35. Breastfeeding is analgesic in newborns • Pediatrics 2002 Apr;109(4):590-3 • 30 full-term, breastfed infants • Intervention group - held and breastfed by their mothers during heel lance and blood collection • Control group experienced the same test while swaddled in their bassinets • Crying and grimacing were reduced by 91%. Heart rate was also substantially reduced by breastfeeding

  36. The Most Important Factors for Lactogenesis Stage II: • Prepared mammary epithelium • Progesterone withdrawal • Maintained plasma prolactin • Removal of milk within an undefined interval after birth

  37. Days Postpartum Neville et al, Ped Clin N Am, Feb 2001

  38. Milk volume

  39. Importance of nipple stimulation

  40. Early initiation of breastfeedingis associated with: • Earlier establishment of effective sucking and feeding (Righard 1990) • Temperature stability (Britton 1980) • Higher blood sugar (Hawdon 1992, Yamauchi 1997) • Increased stooling, decreased jaundice (Yamauchi 1990) • Longer duration of breastfeeding (DeChateau 1977, Salariya 1978, Taylor 1986, Yamauchi 1990)

  41. Unrestricted breastfeedingis associated with • Less engorgement (Hill 1994) • No increase in nipple soreness (DeCarvalho 1984) • Less jaundice (DeCarvalho 1983) • Stable blood sugar (Hawdon 1992, Yamauchi 1997) • Faster onset of mature milk (Salariya 1978, Yamauchi 1997) • Less weight loss, faster weight gain (DeCarvalho 1983)

  42. Can You…? • Describe one effect medications given to the mother during labor can have on her newborn or on breastfeeding • Identify the effect of early post-birth skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding on maternal hormones and on breastfeeding outcomes • Name at least 5 of the 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding from the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative
