Breastfeeding New Born in Side Lying Position – Reflecting Upon a Clinical Encounter by Sarmad Muhammad Soomar in LOJ Medical Sciences (LOJMS) in Lupine Publishers
Breast feeding is essential to positively impact an infant’s
health, nutrition, survival and growth. It is the great foundation of
nourishment for an infant United Nations Children’s Fund [1]. There
are number of positions to facilitate comfortable breastfeeding.
Among these positions, side lying is a position in which a woman
lies laterally with the infant lying beside her. It is considered as
most convenient position because it is not only fulfilling infant’s
demand of being fed but it also decreases maternal discomfort
after the birth. The position itself has benefits but on the same side
it has risks associated with it, which should be considered while
counseling mother regarding breastfeeding. In reproductive health
practice at a secondary hospital of Pakistan, we were able to identify
the described situation and learn few insights from the situation,
when we observe and meet a 23 years old Primigravida. She was
admitted at 38th week of gestation for a delivery via Caesarean
section.
