The caring period ran from the second day postpartum through the mother's discharge from the hospital, and included telephone follow up during the first and second postpartum weeks. Main caring activities included: (1) supporting and reinforcing the mother's confidence to encourage continued breastfeeding; (2) making sure the baby suckled in a good position and that the mother mastered proper breast-feeding techniques; (3) applying Gua-Sha to help breast milk expression and reduce the breast fullness discomfort; and (4) following up regularly on breastfeeding and breast fullness conditions. As a result, the mother was able to continue breastfeeding and could eventually take care of herself, thus achieving a satisfactory breast feeding experience. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: Chinese refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
