Why are Baby-Friendly Hospitals important?
Baby-Friendly Hospitals place more importance to breastfeeding and emotional bond between mothers and babies than those hospitals that are not baby-friendly. Another feature of baby-friendly hospitals is that they ensure the continuity of breastfeeding habit in mothers immediately after they leave the hospital.Trained personnel make home visits and provide information about when, how, and under what conditions the babies should be breastfed.Also, psychological and physical conditions of mothers and babies should be taken into consideration in this process.
It is the best choice for premature babies.
Premature babies are required to be more carefully fed and checked as compared to the nutrition of other babies. Fatty acids contained in breastmilk make contribution to the brain and eye development of premature babies and strengthen their immunity systems. Therefore, the informed methods implemented for premature babies in Baby-Friendly Hospitals is very useful.
