Interventions That Promote Exclusive Breastfeeding

Mother: Placement of the insulating surgical arch was on the skin, between the abdomen and the thorax, electrocautery plate on the back, the gown superimposed, non-invasive blood pressure monitoring in legs and ear oximetry. The newborn was placed immediately on the mother's chest, passing it under the insulating arch and removing the mother's gown. Non-invasive monitoring was initiated with preductal pulse oximetry. The obstetrician cut the umbilical cord by not feeling the beats of the cord, or until 5 minutes. The newborn was reanimated without separating the baby from his mother. The temperature was taken with an infrared thermometer. Pulse oximetry was recorded. The newborn was colocated to the mother's breast as soon as possible, even if the mother was still in surgery. The mother's transfer to her room was with her baby skin to skin. The support staff was instructed not to separate the newborn until breast feeding occur for the first time or the mother required it.
