Theoretical Study of Need for Nurses Support in Early Initiation of Breastfeeding
Journal Title: Nursing & Healthcare International Journal - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
The purpose of this theoretical study was to investigate or x-ray the vital roles nurses should play to support early initiation of breastfeeding and its impact within the first hour of birth. Breastfeeding within the first hour of life is associated with better outcomes like exclusive breastfeeding and duration. Nurses’ support is crucial and lack of support from healthcare professionals like nurses has been linked to delayed initiation of breastfeeding and poor outcome. Therefore, we concluded that it is imperative as a cardinal duty for the nurses to recommend and if possible to ensure early intervention.
