      <div class="section" id="Pre-lacteal_feeds"><h2>Pre-lacteal feeds</h2>
    <div>
      <p> Pre-lacteal feeds are any feeds given to the newborn before breastfeeding is established and the milk 'comes in', often within 0-2 hrs of birth. Honey, teas, pastes and herbal preparations are cultural and religious choices.<sup><a href="#note1">1</a></sup> Water, glucose water, milk-based substitutes are common pre-lacteal feeds given in hospital.<sup><a href="#note2">2</a></sup> <sup><a href="#note3">3</a></sup> <br /> </p>
      <p> Prelacteal feeds have been given in some cultures since ancient times in the belief that colostrum is harmful to infant, stale, and that it is not considered to be 'true breastmilk'.<sup><a href="#note4">4</a></sup> Colostrum may be expressed and discarded or replaced with the prelacteals.<sup><a href="#note5">5</a></sup> The prelacteals are believed to moisten the mouth and cleanse the gastrointestinal tract and aid expulsion of the meconium.<sup><a href="#note4">4</a></sup> </p>
    </div>
    <div class="section" id="Effect_on_mother_and_infant"><h3>Effect on mother and infant</h3>
      <div>Colostrum is essential for gut protection, growth and repair as well as the establishment of the bifidobacterium environment. Colostrum aids the expulsion of meconium which reduces enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin. Prelacteal feeding impairs these processes. Water provides no nutrition and fills the infant's stomach lessening the urge to breastfeed. As a result, breastmilk intake is minimal ...<br /><ul><li>increasing diarrhea and infections,<sup><a href="#note6">6</a></sup> <br /></li><li>increasing breastfeeding problems,<sup><a href="#note7">7</a></sup> <br /></li><li>decreases exclusive breastfeeding and duration of breastfeeding,<sup><a href="#note7">7</a>,</sup><sup><a href="#note6">6</a>,</sup><sup><a href="#note8">8</a>,</sup><sup><a href="#note3">3</a></sup> and <br /></li><li>the cycle of delayed initiation of lactation has the propensity to cause further use of prelacteal feedings.<sup><a href="#note9">9</a></sup></li></ul> <br />The practice of giving pre-lacteal feeds is a key determinant of early cessation of full breastfeeding.<sup><a href="#note3">3</a></sup>With education and support for breastfeeding, the acceptance of exclusive breastfeeding from birth has become more widespread.<br /></div>

  </div>
      <div class="section" id="Supplementation"><h2>Supplementation</h2>
    <div>
      <p> Even more common than giving pre-lacteal feeds has been the routine giving of post-breastfeed supplements, or additional bottles of water, glucose water or artificial infant milk. </p>
      <p class="listTitle">The reasons sometimes given for this practice include:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>to give the mother a rest</li>
        <li>because the mother doesn't have her milk 'in' yet</li>
        <li>to calm a crying infant<br /></li>
        <li>to prevent hypoglycemia</li>
        <li>to prevent or reduce jaundice</li>
      </ul>
      <p> None of these reasons are indications for giving supplements, with some having the opposite effect to the result desired. </p>
    </div>
    <div class="section" id="Medical_indications_for_supplementation"><h3>Medical indications for supplementation</h3>
      <div>
        <p> The World Health Organization states that there are few medical indications that may require individual infants to be given fluids or food in addition to, or in place of, breastmilk. Whenever stopping breastfeeding is considered, the risks of infant formula feeding and the benefits of breastfeeding should be weighed against the risks posed by the presence of the specific condition listed. The following circumstances may be considered: <br /> </p>
        <p> Infant conditions: </p>
        <ul>
          <li> These infants should receive only specialized infant formula: <ul><li>an infant with certain inborn errors of metabolism; eg classic galactosemia, maple syrup urine disease, phenyloketonuria (some breastfeeding possible with careful monitoring)</li></ul> </li>
          <li>These infants should continue to receive breastmilk, but may require other food in addition for a limited time: <ul><li>infants with very low birth weight (&lt;1500g) or who are born preterm (before 32 weeks gestational age)</li><li>infants with potentially severe hypoglycemia, or who require therapy for hypoglycemia, and who do not improve through increased breastfeeding or by being given breastmilk.</li></ul> </li>
        </ul>
        <p>Maternal conditions:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>HIV infection. Individualized assessment required that includes the availability of counseling and support, and that infant formula feeding will be acceptable, feasible, affordable, sustainable and safe (AFASS). Antiretroviral therapy and exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months must be supported if the mother breastfeeds.</li>
          <li>Temporary infant formula feeding may be necessary when <ul><li>the mother is taking medication which is contraindicated when breastfeeding, and for which there is no safe alternative. Rarely are there no safe alternatives, however cytotoxic chemotherapy is one.</li><li>the mother abuses drugs such as heroin, cocaine, amphetamines, cannabis, alcohol etc. Seek individual counseling for mothers in these instances to assess their dependency and the needs of their infant.</li></ul> </li>

        <p> Breastfeeding is negatively affected when formula is used, even in hospitals where educational materials, counseling, support and policies are generally favorable to breastfeeding. Research was conducted in a unit where nursing staff's attitudes regarding breastfeeding were very positive with more than 80% reporting discussing the advantages of breastfeeding routinely with mothers.<sup><a href="#note12">12</a></sup> However, 77% of mothers had started bottle-feeding 2 to 3 weeks after birth, the majority (93%) remembered which brand of formula was used to supplement their baby in hospital and most were using that brand.</p>
