Making Jazan General Hospital "Baby-Friendly," One Step at a Time! ๐คฑโจ
Another day of training, another group of healthcare heroes ready to support our Jazan mothers!
Today, my Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) team started another 20 hours with the wonderful staff at Jazan General Hospital.
We want every mom to know that breastfeeding is a journey, and we are here to help you navigate it! Here are three "Secrets to Success" we focused on today:
Skin-to-Skin is the Best Start: Holding your baby against your chest right after birth "wakes up" their instincts to feed and keeps them warm and calm.
The Perfect Match (Attachment): A good latch shouldn't be painful! We trained staff to help you ensure baby takes a large mouthful of breast tissue, which helps baby get more milk and keeps mom comfortable.
Supply and Demand: The more baby feeds, the more milk your body makes. Itโs an amazing system!
We are working hard to make sure our hospital isn't just a place for delivery, but a place of lifelong support.
