How have you been supported in your breastfeeding journey especially at the household? Strong support networks is essential for overcoming breastfeeding obstacles. From healthcare providers and lactation consultants to peer support groups and community initiatives, the right kind of support can make a world of difference. A study by Guan Jang found that breastfeeding support increased exclusive breastfeeding 5 times more in the experimental group than the control group (https://lnkd.in/dRJTYTaQ). Unfortunately, access to this support varies widely across different communities and socioeconomic groups. It’s our role therefore to advocate for policies and programs that ensure all mothers have access to the support they need. Additionally, raising awareness about the importance of breastfeeding and challenging harmful stereotypes can create a more supportive environment for breastfeeding mothers. While broader societal support is vital, the foundation of breastfeeding success often lies within the household. Partners, family members, and caregivers play a crucial role in creating a nurturing and supportive environment. This supportive environment can be achieved through sharing household responsibilities, such as cooking, cleaning, and grocery shopping. This support can alleviate the burden on new mothers, allowing them to focus on bonding with their babies and establishing breastfeeding. Offering emotional support, encouragement, and practical assistance can also significantly boost a mother’s confidence and well-being. In what other way(s) can you share can you support breastfeeding at the household? #breastfeeding #breastfeedingsupport #community #family #maternalhealth #parenting

It's World Prematurity Day! 🎉 Did you know that Skin-to-Skin care has an incredible impact for our little champs born prematurely! This practice, also known as Kangaroo Care, involves placing a baby on their parent's bare chest, creating an intimate connection that goes beyond warmth. For preterm infants, this contact has proven to be a powerful source of comfort and support, promoting better physiological stability, regulating heart rate, and improving overall respiratory function. Beyond the physical benefits, Skin-to-Skin care fosters a profound emotional bond between parent and child, a crucial element in the often-challenging journey of premature birth. It's important to note that Skin-to-Skin care isn't exclusive to mothers; fathers, too, play a pivotal role. The positive impact of a father's touch and presence during this critical time cannot be overstated. Prematures who experience Kangaroo Care with their fathers exhibit improved weight gain, enhanced neurobehavioral development, and reduced stress levels. On this World Prematurity Day, let's celebrate the strength of these tiny warriors and recognize the invaluable role both mothers and fathers play in providing the nurturing touch that can make all the difference in their journey towards health and resilience. #worldprematurityday #primusnutrition #Shapinghealthylivestogether
