Abstract

IntroductionBreast-feeding is the most natural and proper way of feeding infants and small children, both healthy and ill, delivered on time or early. ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to compare the course of breastfeeding among women after vagina delivery or Cesarean section. Material and methodsThe research method was a questionnaire which included 40 questions: open and closed, which concerned the course of breastfeeding in the first days after physiologic and operational delivery. The study involved 100 women in early puerperium in the Maternity Ward. ResultsThe most women, after caesarean section, initiated breast-feeding after 30minutes after delivery (48.38%). Supplemental feeding of the baby in the ward was related to 33%; out of which 26 women (78.78%) did it at their own request. The survey shows that the delivery method affects possible problems with breast-feeding such as lack of desire to breast sucking by the baby, problems with latching to the nipple, and feeding at night. ConclusionsWomen after Cesarean section should be surrounded with special care midwives in order to increase the chances of natural feeding.
