INCREASING BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT 1 INCREASING BREAST FEEDING SUPPORT AMONG NEONATAL NURSES by Lawanda Bailey-Guess GEORGANN
INCREASING BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT 1 INCREASING BREAST FEEDING SUPPORT AMONG NEONATAL NURSES By Lawanda Bailey-Guess GEORGANN WEISSMAN, DNP, GNP-BC, CNE, Faculty Mentor and Chair TERRI JONES, DNP, Committee Member KIMBERLY NERUD, PHD, Committee Member REGINA DENNIS, MSN, MBA Patrick Robinson, PhD, Dean, School of Nursing and Health Sciences A DNP Project Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Nursing Practice Capella University November 2018 INCREASING BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT 2 Abstract The importance of breastfeeding support remains a global phenomenon, as breastfeeding remains the algorithm of healthcare promotion throughout the life span. The purpose of this project reviews benefits of improving breastfeeding, and breast milk production, among lactating women and their infants by increasing knowledge, skills and positive breastfeeding attitudes among Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurses. The project health care facility has approximately 30% of its neonatal infants who receive breast milk within four weeks of life (Project Facility, 2017) compared to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommendation of 75% for early breastfeeding initiation (CDC, 2017). The project‟s quality improvement program provided a descriptive quantitative design in which questionnaires were distributed among neonatal nurses and breastfeeding mothers to query access and implement the CDC guidelines, Baby Friendly benchmarks, and Healthy People 2020 goals. The Breastfeeding Support Program was implemented as a 3 day breastfeeding support class, implementation of hands-on policy, and a quality improvement tool. The key findings of this project study demonstrated evidence that neonatal nurses were not given consistent interactive breastfeeding in-service. As such, neonatal nurses should be given a „hands on‟ breastfeeding support class and policy review annually per CDC recommendations.

The Use of Human Milk and Breastfeeding in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
The Use of Human Milk and Breastfeeding in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Position Statement #3065 NANN Board of Directors April 2015 The use of human milk and breastfeeding are essential components in providing optimal health for the critically ill newborn. As the professional voice of neonatal nurses, the National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN) encourages all neonatal nurses to provide mothers of critically ill newborns with the education, support, and encouragement needed to provide human milk for their infant. Association Position Human milk and breastfeeding are essential for the growth and development of the vulnerable infant. All infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months, with continued breastfeeding for a year or more. A top priority for neonatal nurses is to ensure that all families understand the unique role that human milk plays in the health of their child. It is the responsibility of neonatal nurses to provide all mothers with education about the benefits of human milk for their infants, regardless of the mothers’ original intentions regarding feeding, and to encourage them to express milk for as long as possible. Research by Hallowell and colleagues demonstrated that only 49% of NICUs had lactation consultants working in the NICU and that nurses only reported providing breastfeeding support 13% (median) of the time on their prior shift (Hallowell et al., 2014). Neonatal nurses should incorporate lactation support into their daily care to ensure that infants receive human milk through discharge and to help mothers achieve their personal breastfeeding goals. Nurses must possess evidence-based knowledge regarding the science of human milk, lactation, and breastfeeding.
