What are the Challenges in Breastfeeding for Mothers of Neonates with Disorders?
Mothers of neonates with disorders may face several challenges in breastfeeding. These challenges can include difficulty in latching, low milk supply, and the infant’s inability to suck efficiently due to medical conditions such as cleft lip and palate or neurological disorders. In such cases, expressing milk using a breast pump and feeding via alternative methods such as a syringe or feeding tube may be necessary. It is crucial for healthcare providers to offer support and guidance to these mothers to help them navigate these challenges.
