EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING PPT.pptx

This document discusses nursing care of newborns. It defines the neonatal period as the first 28 days after birth. Newborn care includes immediate care at birth such as ensuring warmth, clearing airways, clamping the umbilical cord, and initiating breastfeeding. Later newborn care in the postnatal ward focuses on maintaining warmth, observing for signs of illness, preventing infections, and providing parental education. Key elements of newborn care are establishing breathing, feeding, cord and eye care, and maintaining hygiene and skin care. The document also explains Apgar scoring, which assesses a newborn's condition at 1 and 5 minutes after birth.

Immediate care involves: Drying the baby with warm towels or cloths, while being placed on the mother's abdomen or in her arms. This mother-child skin-to-skin contact is important to maintain the baby's temperature, encourage bonding and expose the baby to the mother's skin bacteria

The document outlines the organization and components of a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It discusses the history of NICUs, physical facility requirements including adequate space, equipment, and staffing. Key aspects that are emphasized include maintaining appropriate environmental conditions, developing different levels of care (I, II, III), and facilitating family involvement to create a gentle environment that supports recovery and development of infants. The overall aim is to reduce mortality and morbidity of at-risk newborns through specialized intensive care.

Kangaroo mother care (KMC) involves skin-to-skin contact between a mother and her low birth weight baby, exclusive breastfeeding, and early discharge from the hospital. It was developed as an alternative to incubator care for preterm infants in Colombia. The WHO recommends KMC for newborns weighing 2000g or less, as it improves health outcomes for babies and bonding between mother and child. KMC benefits include reduced risk of infection, apnea, and oxygen requirements for babies, as well as lower stress levels, bonding, and economic benefits for families and health systems.

This document provides information on the management of low birth weight babies. It defines different categories of low birth weight, describes optimal care at birth including warming and feeding practices. It outlines monitoring requirements and discusses positioning, thermal comfort, oxygen therapy, phototherapy and infection control. The document also covers nutrition, stimulation, immunization and family support needs for low birth weight infants.

This document discusses breastfeeding, including how long to breastfeed, the types and composition of human breast milk, benefits of breastfeeding for infants and mothers, barriers to breastfeeding, contraindications, and alternatives if breastfeeding is not possible. It provides information on breastfeeding in the newborn period, at 1 month, and at 6 months. The types of breast milk produced are described as colostrum, transitional milk, and mature milk. Benefits outlined for infants include gastrointestinal, immune system, cognitive development, and reduced infection and disease risk. Benefits for mothers include enhanced bonding, uterine involution, and reduced cancer risk.

The document discusses the Under Five Clinic program established by the Department of Health to address high mortality and morbidity among children under five years old. The program aims to provide comprehensive healthcare services including monitoring growth and development, identifying hindering factors, and offering preventive, promotive, curative and referral services through trained nurses at sub-centers and primary health centers. Key services include regular height and weight monitoring, immunizations, vitamin supplementation, deworming, health education, and treatment of common illnesses like diarrhea and respiratory infections. The goal is to provide affordable healthcare to improve nutrition, development and overall health of young children.

The document discusses guidelines for introducing solid foods or weaning to infants after 6 months of age. It recommends starting with rice cereal or pureed fruits and vegetables before 6 months and gradually introducing more textured foods along with continued breastfeeding. Safety tips include introducing one food at a time, avoiding choking hazards and foods high in salt/sugar, and proper food preparation, storage and handling. The principles aim to meet infants' nutritional needs as they develop while minimizing risks of infection, malnutrition or developmental issues.

The document categorizes 4 levels of neonatal care provided by hospitals and facilities based on the therapies and services available. Level I provides basic care for healthy newborns. Level II (special care nursery) cares for preterm or ill infants needing limited care. Level III (NICU) provides intensive care for critically ill infants. The highest level, Level IV (regional NICU), provides specialty surgical care and the most advanced therapies.

The ICDS Scheme provides services to promote early childhood development, with a focus on children under 6 years old, pregnant and lactating mothers, and adolescent girls. It aims to improve nutrition, reduce mortality and morbidity, and support education. Services include health checkups, immunizations, supplementary nutrition, non-formal preschool education, and community participation through Anganwadi centers. The program is funded jointly by central and state governments in India.

The document discusses under five clinics and well baby clinics. The main points are: - Under five clinics and well baby clinics provide comprehensive healthcare like preventative services, treatment, and education to children under age 5/6 in a specialized facility. - Services include growth monitoring, immunizations, nutrition support, treatment of illness, and health education to mothers on childcare and development. - Healthcare personnel run the clinics, provide treatment, monitor children's growth, administer vaccinations, and educate mothers on child health issues. - One of the most important services offered is providing routine immunizations to protect against diseases.

The document summarizes the services provided at an under five clinic. The clinic provides preventative, curative, referral, and educational services to children under five years old under one roof. The overall goal is to provide comprehensive healthcare to young children in a specialized facility. The clinic treats acute and chronic illnesses, monitors growth through periodic weighing and measurement, provides immunizations and nutrition care, and educates mothers on childcare.

This document discusses preconception care, which aims to maximize maternal and child health by providing health interventions to women and couples before conception. It outlines the aims of preconception care as improving health status, reducing risk factors, and preventing diseases and complications. The key components covered include nutrition, genetics, environment, infertility, STIs, violence, mental health, and substance use. Steps to improve health before pregnancy for both women and men are also presented.

The document describes various characteristics of newborns, including their physiology and reflexes. It discusses vital signs like temperature, pulse, respiration and blood pressure in newborns. It also covers anthropometric measurements, skin changes like vernix caseosa, lanugo, jaundice and desquamation. Characteristics of the newborn head such as fontanels, molding, caput succedaneum and cephalohematoma are explained. Eye features including eyelid edema, lacrimal apparatus, subconjunctival hemorrhage and strabismus are covered. Finally, the respiratory system development and characteristics of newborn respiration are briefly outlined.
