Objective:
To determine the impact of Mother-Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (MBFHI) implementation on the success of breastfeeding practices among patients who gave birth in a tertiary hospital.
Methodology:
Seventy-one postpartum patients who have no contraindications to breastfeeding were recruited from September-November 2017. Outcome variables regarding on the success of breastfeeding initiation on the first hour postpartum and hospital stay were measured. Participants were followed-up by phone call at 3 and 6-months postpartum to determine their practice on exclusive breastfeeding.
Results:
The exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) rates at first hour postpartum, during hospital stay, 3 and 6 months were 91.5%, 81.7%, 65.9%, and 45.5%, respectively. The participants who had cesarean delivery and vaginal delivery were 19 (26.8%) and 52 (73.2%) respectively. There was no significant association between the route of delivery and successful breastfeeding at first hour (p = 0.179). At first hour postpartum, majority of the infants who did not initiate breastfeeding was due to respiratory distress. At 6 months, only 39% (26 out of 66) did proper breastfeeding. There were 26 out of 66 (39%) subjects who have work at 6 months, and among these, 12 subjects were not able to collect and store milk due to unavailability of lactation clinic at their workplace. Overall, approximately half of the subjects who initiated EBF were not able to continue EBF until 6 months due to inadequate milk production and resumption of work.
Conclusion
Half of mothers exclusively breastfed up to 6 months, regardless of age, parity and route of delivery. The main determinants of EBF cessation at 6-month postpartum include inadequate milk production, resumption of work and inability to collect milk. To promote successful EBF among mothers in the Philippines, interventions should focus on strengthening the breastfeeding policy implementation in the workplace and communities to promote, protect and maintain breastfeeding.

3.Challenge and support for breastfeeding in highly motivated Malaysian mothers
Journal of University of Malaya Medical Centre 2009;12(2):70-73
The exclusive breastfeeding rate in Malaysia is very low. However in recent years the awareness
of breastfeeding among mothers has increased. A preliminary qualitative research was carried
out on these motivated mothers. The objective of this study was to understand the challenges
encountered by breastfeeding mothers and to explore the support and motivation received by
them. Information from the motivated mothers was obtained from focus group discussion. Some
obstacles faced by the mothers were lack of knowledge on breastfeeding and lack of support from
health professionals, parents and siblings. Facilities to express breast milk while at work were not
readily available. The main motivation to breastfeed came from the mother herself and support
from the husband. A holistic approach must be used to help mothers to continue breastfeeding.
This includes breastfeeding promotion and education, setting up more Baby Friendly Hospitals,
availability of breastfeeding support groups and provision of enough breastfeeding facilities at
work and public places.

9.Breastfeeding rehabilitation
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2005;15(4):72-76
Causes of reduction and interruption of breastfeeding were reviewed, and methods for detection, treatment and prevention were recommended. Causes of reduction and interruption of breastfeeding include the lack of energy storage in mother during pregnancy period, mother is too young, or having internal diseases during pregnancy. Both mother and child were needed to check for signs of lack or interruption of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding rehabilitation can be done by consulting to build the belief in health and the possibility of producing milk of the mother, stimulating the milk production in the mother by encouraging feed the child many times at the right position and avoiding too hard physical work.
