  1. Hospital Practices Influence Breastfeeding Rates:The Data Tell the Story Birth & Beyond California: Breastfeeding Training& QI Project

  2. Objectives • Name the source of in-hospital breastfeeding data for California • Describe the trends in California for ‘any’ and ‘exclusive’ in-hospital breastfeeding from 1992- 2007 • Identify three hospital practices that can discourage breastfeeding • List three hospital practices that increase breastfeeding duration

  3. In-Hospital Breastfeeding Data Source:Newborn Screening Program • Administered by the Genetic Disease Screening Program (GDSP) • Primary purpose is to collect infant blood samples to screen for genetic diseases • Staff complete the forms following the instructions provided by GDSP • Summary data is sent to the Epidemiology staff of the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Program and made available yearly on-line California Department of Public Health Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health Division

  4. Breastfeeding Categories • Exclusive breastfeeding • Infants fed only human milk • Recommended by American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Academy of Family Physicians, American Dietetic Association • Any breastfeeding • Includes infants fed only human milk and infants fed a combination of human milk and formula

  18. The Physiologic Norm is Easier • Skin to skin triggers • Infant competence • Appropriate maternal responses • Exclusive breastfeeding in the early days promotes a cascade of breastfeeding successes • Mother/baby togetherness in the early days enhances parental competence Moore, Cochrane Review, 2007

  19. Day One Conclusions Mother/baby attachment Is supported by skin–to–skin contact Risks of not breastfeeding A public health concern Nurses can teach parents To recognize predictable newborn patterns Breastfeeding rates Reflect maternity care policies & practices

  20. Assignment Prior to the Next ClassClinical Experiences Observe a newborn placed skin-to-skin with mother for 20 minutes Observe an infant breastfeeding and listen for suck and swallow sounds Observe the cluster feeding pattern of the breastfeeding newborn
