Initiation of Breastfeeding by Breast Crawl

From: HealthPhone

Every newborn, when placed on the mother's abdomen, soon after birth, has the ability to find its mother's breast all on its own and to decide when to take the first breastfeed. This is called the 'Breast Crawl'.

UNICEF, WHO and WABA along with the scientific community strongly recommend initiating breastfeeding within a half-hour of birth.

Evidence shows that early initiation can prevent 22% of all deaths among babies below one month in developing countries.
