Relactation success factors were: chronological age under one month (48 %) effective newborn breast sucking (89 %) good newborn breast grasping (71 %). Incorrect maternal posture: 66.1 and 61 % with no previous experience. Health professionals suggested substitutes for hypogalactia in 18 % of the mothers. Causes of breastfeeding abandonment were newborn hospitalization (79 %) and low birth weight (52 %). The average age was 26.8 years 73 % had a low socioeconomic level 59 % were cohabitating 46 % were housewives 32 % had a high school degree 57 % were first-time mothers 74 % had a high obstetric risk and 59 % had children by caesarean section. The study was approved by the Ethics committee of the School of Health Sciences at the University Pontificia Bolivariana. A structured survey was used and central tendency measurements and frequencies were analysed. To identify the causes of breastfeeding abandonment and the success factors associated with relactation in mothers with children attended in a specialised health institution.ĭescriptive transversal design through non-probabilistic convenience sampling, with 100 mothers and their children. Una mujer que ha interrumpido la lactancia de su hijo, recientemente o en el pasado, puede volver a producir leche para su propio hijo o para uno adoptado, incluso sin un embarazo adicional (4,5). También se considera la mejor opción para alimentar a bebés prematuros de cualquier edad gestacional y está asociada con una menor incidencia de infecciones, con un aumento de peso adecuado y con la prevención de enfermedades como la obesidad (2,3) Si la lactancia ha sido descontinuada o si la producción de leche ha disminuido, esta puede ser restablecida empleando la técnica llamada relactación, la cual se define como el restablecimiento de la producción de leche materna por parte de una mujer que ha interrumpido el amamantamiento, o también como el reinicio o incremento de la producción de leche cuando esta ha disminuido o cesado completamente. La lactancia materna es una de las recomendaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), que plantea, aumentarla de forma exclusiva en un 50 % para 2025 (1). Providing mothers with support from the medical team and training on relactation and kangaroo mother care can lead to better weight gain of the low birth weight premature infants. On the 14(th) day of the study, the mean (SD) weight of infants in the control and intervention groups was 1666.67 (136.08) and 1765.86 (156.96) g, respectively. All the infants were weighed by a co-researcher. Daily follow-up was conducted by the researcher. The mothers of infants in the control group received routine training and support about relactation while the intervention group received routine training as well as the designed educational and supportive relactation program including breast pumping, increasing milk agents and kangaroo mother care. The infants were evaluated in two groups of 30. This clinical trial study was performed on 60 preterm infants with mean gestational age of 29 weeks hospitalized in NICU of Alzahra Hospital (Tabriz, Iran). The present study tried to determine the effects of an educational and supportive relactation program on weight gain of preterm infants. Although NICU nurses train mothers about breastfeeding and relactation to some degree, there exists a lack of support or evaluation for restarting breastfeeding. Re-establishing breastfeeding (relactation) is necessary in preterm infants who are deprived of breastfeeding due to hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
