Nursing the newborn
Abstract
Factors affecting successful breast-feeding that have been discussed include good prenatal and postnatal patient education, supportive routines in the hospital, and prevention and/or treatment of common early problems. Suggestions have been made of ways in which the breast-feeding experience can be enhanced. As these measures become more widespread, along with knowledge of the benefits and advantages of human milk and breast-feeding, we should be able to continue to reverse the trend away from breastfeeding.
