Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Demographical data, infant Latch on breast.
Demographical data consisting of socio-demographic characteristics of participants 1: LATCH scoring system. A systematic breastfeeding assessment, diagnostic and evaluating tool for individual breastfeeding sessions. The tool assigns a numerical score, 0, 1, 2, and includes five key elements of breastfeeding.LATCH: 1. L for infant's ability to latch onto the breast, 2 .A for the presence of audible swallowing of the infant at the breast, 3.T for mother's nipple type, 4.C for mother's sense of comfort,5.H for holding.The total score range from 0 to 10; higher score, the more chances of successful effective breastfeeding. A LATCH score of 0-3 is regarded as poor, 4-7 as moderate/fair, and 8-10 as good/well, during early postpartum. The mothers observed for breastfeeding LATCH by 5-10 minute.
