Area of Science:

  • Neonatology
  • Pediatrics
  • Lactation Biology

Background:

  • Neonatal survival rates have improved due to advancements in life support and respiratory disorder management.
  • Neonatal nutrition is a key factor in infant survival, emphasizing adequate and natural nourishment.
  • Understanding and supporting maternal lactation within neonatal units is essential for infant well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the process, protection, support, and maintenance of maternal lactation in neonatal intensive care units.
  • To identify key factors that reinforce maternal lactation, including humanized perinatal care and mother-infant bonding.
  • To guide research and professional training for improved breastfeeding support in neonatology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current practices in neonatal care and life support.
  • Analysis of factors influencing maternal lactation, such as perinatal care, bonding, and individualized attention.
  • Identification of research needs, including understanding maternal-preterm infant challenges and professional training.

Main Results:

  • Humanized perinatal care, respect for parental rights, mother-infant bonding, and skin-to-skin contact significantly reinforce maternal lactation.
  • Research is needed to address common problems faced by mothers and preterm infants.
  • Professional training in milk extraction, storage, and communication skills is vital.

Conclusions:

  • Establishing standards of care for initiating, encouraging, and prolonging maternal lactation is fundamental in neonatology.
  • Continued research and support programs are necessary to ensure adequate quantity and quality of breast milk for infants.
  • The ultimate goal is to improve the well-being of the child and their family through optimized lactation support.
