Breastfeeding Support and Encouragement Week

- August 1-7, 2021

At the initiative of the World Health Organization, "Breastfeeding Support and Promotion Week" is held annually from August 1 to 7 all over the world. The choice of date is not accidental; on August 1, 1990, the Declaration on the Protection, Promotion and Support of Breastfeeding was adopted. This action takes place under the auspices of WABA - the International Union, uniting organizations and individuals who believe in the right of a mother to breastfeed her child and the right of a child to breastfeed. This organization is dedicated to protecting, educating and promoting these rights. nine0005

World Breastfeeding Week is one of the ways to revive the now lost tradition of breastfeeding, to draw public attention to this problem. This action is designed to protect the right of the child to breastfeed, as well as explain to pregnant women and young mothers the need for breastfeeding. Nothing can replace breast milk for a newborn baby. Natural breastfeeding is the path to the formation of a child's health. nine0005

The theme for World Breastfeeding Week 2021 is Protecting Breastfeeding: A Shared Responsibility.

WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, starting within one hour of birth and being "on demand" rather than some imaginary system. Bottles or pacifiers should be avoided.

Breast milk is the ideal food for newborns and infants. It provides babies with all the nutrients they need for healthy development, safely and contains essential antibodies that help protect babies from common childhood illnesses such as diarrhea and pneumonia (two leading causes of infant death worldwide). nine0005

Breastfeeding also benefits mothers as it is associated with natural birth control (98% protection against unwanted pregnancy in the first six months after birth). It reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, type II diabetes, and postpartum depression. Breastfeeding promotes the health of both mother and baby.

WHO suggest the optimal feeding schedule for a child in the first 24 months of life:

The first feeding should be done in the first hour after the baby is born; nine0024
In the first six months, you need to feed the baby only breast milk, without the use of mother's milk substitutes;
After six months and up to two years, or until the mother has milk left, it is possible to transfer the child to a combined diet: breast milk is supplemented with complementary foods.

Such a scheme will allow you to gradually move away from breastfeeding without harming the health of the child.

The process of feeding should take place in a calm environment, the baby is sensitive to the emotional state of the mother, so a woman should try to avoid stress. During feeding, the mother learns to understand the needs of the child and communicate with him at the level of touch, this is also important for establishing an emotional connection. nine0005

Breastfeeding is an important stage in the life of a mother and child, and a woman should not refuse to breastfeed unless there is a good reason for it. What are the benefits of breastfeeding:

Breastfeeding stimulates the release of hormones that affect the contraction of the uterus and help it return to its original size.
Breast milk tastes like foods that a woman ate, the baby begins to gradually get acquainted with different shades of tastes, so then it is easier to start feeding him. nine0024
During breastfeeding, a woman spends more calories, which allows her to get in shape faster after pregnancy.
At the beginning of breastfeeding, milk is usually produced more than is needed for one child, because the body prepares for breastfeeding in advance and does not know about the number of children. In the future, the amount of milk is reduced to the needs of the child.
Milk does not come immediately, it may take 3-5 days after birth, but at this time colostrum accumulates in the breast. Colostrum is a viscous yellowish liquid, but it contains a large amount of calcium, potassium, proteins, minerals and antibodies that the baby needs. It is enough for a child to eat a couple of teaspoons of colostrum to satisfy his hunger. nine0024
Breast milk is not a constant composition, it changes depending on the needs of the child, the older the baby becomes, the thicker and fatter mother's milk becomes.
Do not force your baby to drink until the milk runs out. Children usually drink about 70% of the available milk, which is enough for them to get enough.
Mother's milk contains special substances that help the baby fall asleep faster and calm down.

No artificial breast milk substitute can compare with mother's milk. The taste and composition of mixtures is always constant, they cannot adapt to the needs of the child and will not teach him to distinguish between flavors. Mixtures can and even should be used, but only if the child cannot receive mother's milk. The decision to stop breastfeeding should be made by the mother together with the doctor. nine0005

Mother's milk received in infancy will protect human health for many, many years! Researchers have studied factors associated with various diseases and have come to the consensus that children and adults who are breastfed are less prone to a number of chronic diseases. Sometimes, even the shortest breastfeeding can provide protection against disease later in life, but generally, the longer an infant is breastfed, the stronger the immunity. The immune support of mother's milk is vital in critical and emergency situations, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Moscow Regional Center for Public Health and Medical Prevention (branch for public health and medical prevention of the GAUZMO KTsVMiR) recommends that the heads of healthcare facilities, with the active participation of doctors from territorial divisions of medical prevention (centers, departments, offices) and health centers, antenatal clinics organize the following information - educational events dedicated to the World Breastfeeding Week:

To widely inform the population about the events dedicated to the World Breastfeeding Support and Promotion Week through the media, post information on the Internet portals of municipalities, healthcare facilities, as well as on social networks.
In the media on this day, broadcast medical content in support of breastfeeding;
Carry out health education work with the population about the benefits of breastfeeding, as well as the formation of attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. nine0024
Organize exhibitions, arrange stands with visual propaganda in support of breastfeeding and a healthy lifestyle in healthcare facilities.
Organize thematic exhibitions of popular science literature in libraries;
Distribute leaflets, booklets, leaflets in medical institutions about the benefits of breastfeeding, on the formation of attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle.

Mass events should be held subject to restrictions related to the threat of the spread of coronavirus infection caused by COVID-19(prioritizing outdoor activities, ensuring that social distancing and personal protection rules are observed).

Smolninskoe municipality - Breastfeeding

Every day thousands of babies are born. And every, without exception, mother, since the moment of pregnancy, has been worried about how to prepare the breast for the feeding process, whether the baby will take the breast, whether he will eat only mother's milk or still prefer the mixture. In this article, we propose to consider in detail the principles of successful breastfeeding, learn about the advantages of breastfeeding for mom and baby. nine0005
The World Health Organization and the Union of Pediatricians of Russia recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a child's life as the most correct and most beneficial nutrition for newborns (doing the baby with water if necessary is not excluded). Despite this, do not forget about the objective criteria for nutritional adequacy: an increase of at least 125 grams per week, the number of urination up to 12 times a day, the absence of a decrease in hemoglobin levels for children at risk at 3-6 months. After six months, it is advisable to continue breastfeeding up to 1.5 years with the gradual introduction of safe complementary foods in the second half of the baby's life (domestic recommendations) or 2 or more years (foreign recommendations, including WHO and UNICEF). nine0005
Mother's breast milk transmits elements of her own microbiological status and immune reactions to her child, provides the newborn's body with specific substances (prebiotics), supports the growth of beneficial bacteria, which is ensured by the timely attachment of the child to the breast within the first hour from the moment of birth. Early skin-to-skin contact between mother and newborn in the delivery room, receiving colostrum from the first hour of life triggers the correct mechanism of immune regulation, metabolic reactions, and it is possible that it has an impact on the subsequent development of the brain and cognitive functions of the child already at birth. nine0005
Every child and every mother can benefit from breastfeeding. Almost all women are biologically capable of breastfeeding, but breastfeeding practices are affected by a wide range of historical, socioeconomic, cultural, psychological and individual factors, and the mother's psychological positive attitude to breastfeeding in the hospital.

UNICEF and the World Health Organization have jointly developed several principles for successful breastfeeding that help new mothers improve their feeding experience. nine0005
1. Cohabitation after childbirth. The opportunity not to separate mother and child after childbirth and to provide them with round-the-clock living together contributes to the calmness of both mother and baby, and also facilitates the adaptation period for them.

2. Early breastfeeding. The first feeding necessarily occurs in the first hour after the birth of the child. At this time, only a few drops of colostrum are produced, but they contain a powerful dose of substances necessary for the immune defense of the baby, and beneficial bacteria that populate his sterile intestines. In addition, colostrum promotes the speedy removal of meconium from the body, thereby reducing bilirubin. nine0005
3. Correct application. It is necessary from the first hours to teach a young mother to properly attach the baby to the breast in order to avoid problems in the future. Incorrect attachment can not only provoke the appearance of cracks in the nipples, but also cause colic and insufficient saturation of the baby, since he will also capture air along with milk.

4. No breast substitutes. Complete rejection of bottles and pacifiers. Milk from a bottle gets a baby much easier than breast milk - you have to try hard to get it. Once familiar with the bottle, babies often refuse to breastfeed in order to get lighter milk. Pacifiers, as a substitute for feeding, also knock down the lactation setting, the child does not eat up, as it is less often applied to the breast. nine0005
5. Feeding on demand. It is very important to abandon the usual "regime" feeding, when a "step to the side" was allowed for no more than 15 minutes. This reduced milk production and contributed to the nervousness of the child and mother. The optimal feeding regimen is exclusively at the request of the child. This helps to improve lactation and as a result, the baby receives exactly the amount of milk he needs, and with it the vital maternal warmth and closeness necessary for emotional formation. In addition, on-demand feeding improves milk quality and reduces the risk of lactostasis. nine0005
6. Don't take your baby's breast. Feeding should continue until the baby releases the breast on its own. Interruption of feeding negatively affects both the physical and emotional state of the child. In addition, this leads to the fact that the child does not receive enough useful "hind" milk, which is characterized by high calorie content.

7. Complementary foods are introduced between 5 and 6 months. Until this time, the baby receives 100% of the necessary nutrients from mother's milk. From 6 months to a year - 75%, and from a year to two years - 25%. This item is one of the most important WHO recommendations on breastfeeding. Therefore, the early introduction of complementary foods is completely meaningless - he has already received everything the child needs. nine0005
8. Mother's moral support. It is important to support a young mother, her self-confidence, encouragement of breastfeeding. Many women are not sure that they will be able to breastfeed a child, that they will succeed and have enough milk. The incompetence of medical professionals or relatives and acquaintances who do not provide them with adequate support or even offer to supplement the child with formula, instead of breastfeeding, often become the reason for not breastfeeding. nine0005
9. Avoiding nipple ointments. It is recommended to refuse ointments and creams for nipples. They often give them an unpleasant taste or smell, which can cause the baby to refuse the breast. In addition, their safety cannot be called absolute. It is also better to refuse frequent washing of the chest, especially with soap. This washes away the protective fatty layer and leads to cracked and damaged nipples. To maintain hygiene, a daily shower or bath is sufficient. If cracks appear on the nipples, the reason is the incorrect attachment of the baby to the breast. In this case, you need to solve this main problem. nine0005
10. Night feeding. Preservation of night feedings is necessary to maintain lactation. It is at night that the most intensive production of the hormone responsible for lactation occurs. If at this time it is supported by feeding, then the milk will not leave early.

11. Refusal to pump. When expressing milk, a woman misleads her body, it seems to him that all this milk is eaten by a child and begins to produce enough milk for him to eat. That is, as a result of decanting milk becomes even more. And since the child does not need so much milk, stagnation forms, you have to express the excess, and so on in a vicious circle. nine0005
12. It is recommended to support breastfeeding for as long as possible - up to a year is mandatory, up to 2 years is desirable. This helps the child build a full-fledged immunity, since mother's milk contains immune bodies that cannot be obtained from anywhere else. In addition, it still contains a large number of trace elements and vitamins necessary for the full development of the child's body.
