Essential lntrapartum and Newborn care (EINC) is the standard of care in all births by skilled attendants in all government/private settings.

The EINC practices for newborn care constitute a series of time- bound, chronologically-ordered, standard procedures that a baby receives at birth.

At the heart of the protocol are 4 time-bound interventions:
1) immediate drying;
2) skin-to-skin contact followed by clamping of the cord after 1-3 minutes;
3) non-separation of baby from mother
4) breastfeeding initiation

1. IMMEDIATE DYRING
• Using a clean, dry cloth, thoroughly dry the baby, wiping the face, eyes, head, front and back, arms & legs.

2. SKIN-TO-SKIN CONTACT
• If a baby is crying & breathing normally, avoid any manipulation, such as routine suctioning, that may cause trauma or introduce infection. Place the newborn prone on the mother’s abdomen or chest skin-to- skin.
• Cover newborn’s back with a blanket & head with a bonnet. Place identification band on ankle.

3. PROPER CORD CLAMPING & CUTTING
• Clamp & cut the cord after cord pulsations have stopped (typically at 1-3 mins).
• Put ties tightly around the cord at 2 cm & 5 cm from the newborn’s abdomen.
• Cut between ties with sterile instrument.
• Observe for oozing blood.
• Do not milk the cord towards the newborn.
• After cord clamping, ensure oxytocin 10 IU IM is given to the mother

4. Non-separation of baby from mother and breastfeeding initiation
• Observe the newborn. Only when the newborn shows feeding cues (e.g., opening of mouth, tonguing, licking, rooting), make verbal suggestions to the mother to encourage her newborn to move toward the breast (e.g., nudging).
• Counsel on positioning and attachment.
When the baby is ready, advise the mother to:
a. Make sure the newborn’s neck is neither flexed nor twisted.
b. Make sure the newborn is facing the breast, with the newborn’s nose opposite her ni**le and chin touching the breast.
c. Hold the newborn’s body close to her body.
d. Support the newborn’s whole body, not just the neck & shoulders.
e. Wait until her newborn’s mouth is opened wide.
f. Move her newborn onto her breast, aiming the infant’s lower lip well below the ni**le.
g. Look for signs of good attachment & suckling:
− Mouth wide open
− Lower lip turned outward
− Baby’s chin touching breast
− Suckling is slow, deep with some pauses
− If the attachment or suckling is not good, try again & reassess.

Notes
• Health workers should not touch the newborn unless there is a medical indication.
• Do not give sugar water, formula or other prelacteals.
• Do not give bottles or pacifiers.
• Do not throw away colostrum.

One refers to us. All refers to the world. What we throw away, therefore comes back to haunt us eventually. It is with this principle that we engage the people in their puroks to promote proper solid waste management. All 9 puroks were visited with Republic Act 9003 as our guiding framework. As a symbol of the barangay’s desire for an eco-friendly community, the materials recovery facility stands tall side-by-side with the barangay hall.

Individually, one can only achieve so much. As an assembly, combined wills can move mountains. True to our commitment to serve as catalysts for change, slowly but surely, we mobilized the people of the community as an assembly with one common purpose: to address the 5 community problems prioritized by the people. The 5 Community health plans are manifestations of their combined wills to meet the problems head-on. The people’s initiative for change was further manifested in the creation of the patrol groups, which would serve as the initial implementing arm of the community.

Carrying the theme, “Maghugpong Tang Tanan Para Sa Kalamboan” we met with the Barangay Health Workers and the Purok Officials of Lantungan to seek for their opinions and suggestions. Here, we presented our plans that aim to solve the 5 identified problems of the Barangay. Then we opened the floor for the people’s comments and together, we modified the plans to make them more appropriate and effective in our quest for a better Lantungan.

The true genius of compassion is beyond the borders of a paper. The real mark of service is beyond the darkest ink a pen could leave. The challenge was accepted. What has been written and defended by the wisdom and intellect of 9 is about to take its first flight out in realism. As we travel back to Barangay Lantungan Aurora Zamboanga del Sur this September 30, we are equipped not only with the fruits of hard work in a form of a so-called ”Community Health Plan” but most importantly, with the ardent yearning in our hearts to make our scribbled visions into a vivid reality.
