Tool (III): Breastfeeding Assessment Tool
It included two parts: Part 1: The Infant Breastfeeding Assessment Tool (IBFAT):
[24]
The IBFAT appraises four parameters of infant suckling competence including readiness
to feed, rooting reflex, fixing (Latch on), and suckling pat-tern. The range of scores for each of the four components
is ranged between 0-3 for a maximum total score of 12. A
final score of 10 or higher from IBFAT tool is associated
with successful first feeding. Scores less than 10 repre-sented difficulty in first breast-feeding and for this study was
considered as failure. Part 2: Outcome assessment of first
breastfeeding:Including assessment of the time in minutes
between delivery and first breastfeeding, duration (minutes)
of first breastfeeding, did the newborn attach to the nipple
without help, did the newborn end the first breastfeeding by
him/herself. Estimating a newborn’s first breastfeeding ex-perience and success of subsequent breastfeeds before dis-charge will be based on the IBFAT tool.
