Ten Steps to Successful
Breastfeeding
– skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby immediately after birth and initiation of breastfeeding within the first hour of life;
– breastfeeding on demand (that is, as often as the child wants, day and night);
– rooming-in (allowing mothers and infants to remain together 24 hours a day);
– not giving babies additional food or drink, even water;
