    PROMOTE ADEQUATE SUCKING

    Often, a newborn being breastfed becomes sleepy at the breast, especially in the first
    24 hours of life. Jaundice and hypoglycemia are also causes of sleepiness at the breast.
    To both stimulate milk production effectively and ensure adequate breast milk intake, a
    woman may need to keep the infant awake and urge him or her to suck. Placing the
    newborn skin to skin will often provide the proper environment to arouse the newborn
    to feed.
    PROMOTE IMMEDIATE SUPPORT IF PROBLEMS ARISE

    The nurse should provide an individual feeding plan to the mother upon discharge,
    ideally in consultation with an IBCLC. Early follow-up and referral to breastfeeding
    support groups will promote successful breastfeeding during the newborn period. The
    first 4 weeks postpartum are usually the most challenging for a new breastfeeding
    mother.
    PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING TECHNIQUES FOR
    BURPING THE BREASTFED BABY

    Placing the baby over one shoulder and gently patting or stroking the back is a time-
    honored position. However, this position is not always satisfactory for a newborn who
    has poor head control because a parent may have difficulty supporting the baby and
    patting the back at the same time.
    Holding the baby in a sitting position on the lap and then leaning the child forward
    against one hand, with the index finger and thumb supporting the head, is often the best
    position to use.
