ABSTRACT
The rates of human milk feeding are suboptimal worldwide. Recommendations for healthy, term mother-infant dyads include early breastfeeding initiation, frequent skin-to-skin contact, and frequent breastfeeding. The normal physiology of lactation can be affected by prenatal factors such as diabetes, obesity, and excessive gestational weight gain. Furthermore, birth-related factors such as early-term gestation, stressful labor, unscheduled cesarean birth, and postpartum hemorrhage can additionally disrupt recommended practices such as early initiation of breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact. Given that the first 2 to 3 days postpartum are critical to achieving timely secretory activation and establishing an adequate volume of milk, a proactive approach to care can include building awareness of risk factors and development of protocols for the effective early initiation of lactation.
