Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: Relactation refers to the re-establishment of a milk supply and nursing after the cessation of nursing for a variable period. We aimed to analyze the practical issues related to successful relactation in the lactation clinic.
Methods: The medical records of 51 mothers who had visited the lactation clinic for relactation were retrospectively analyzed. Breastfeeding greater than 90% was considered to as relactation success. Perinatal characteristics, the number of visits to the clinic, need for medication and the breastfeeding supplementer, and the reason for failure were analyzed.
Results: Relactation appears to be easier for women who had lactated previously. With optimal care, support and motivation, some who had never lactated were able to start lactation.
Conclusion: Relactation is a practical method to ensure breastfeeding in motivated women. Supplemental use of drugs and the breastfeeding supplementer system contribute to the success of relactation.
