Breastfeeding (Lactation)

The Challenge

The challenge is to assist patients in successfully nursing their infant(s).

• Scope of the Problem: Although most infants born in 2019 started breastfeeding (83.2%), only 24.9% of infants were exclusively breastfeeding at 6 month.

• Objectives of Management: Encourage nursing as a feeding strategy, assist patients to prepare for nursing, and deal with problems if they occur.
