How Can Breast Compression Help in Specific Neonatal Disorders?
- Premature Infants: Premature babies often have underdeveloped sucking reflexes. Breast compression can help these infants get more milk with less effort. - Low Birth Weight Babies: These infants may have difficulty maintaining energy levels while nursing. Breast compression can help them get the necessary nutrients more efficiently. - Jaundice: Babies with jaundice are often sleepy and may not nurse effectively. Breast compression can promote better milk intake, which helps flush out bilirubin.
