Abstract

Breastfeeding is essential to the health and well-being of infants. Numerous research works have recorded the nutritional and immunological superiority of human milk for nourishing infants. The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of breastfeeding module in terms of feeding practice and neonatal biophysiological variables among postnatal mothers in a selected hospital. Quasi-experimental design was adopted. Background data—demographic, maternal, neonatal data—were collected. Teaching module on breastfeeding practice was given to experimental group, following delivery for the first three days observations were made on breastfeeding practices and neonatal biophysiological variables for experimental and control groups. The results specified that effective breastfeeding practices have some impact over the neonatal biophysiological variables and it supports the hypothesis. Promoting breastfeeding education during prenatal period must be a routine element in midwifery practice.
