Abstract
Neonatal breastfeeding is a critical component of infant care that significantly impacts the health and development of newborns. The initial hours and days following birth are crucial for establishing effective breastfeeding, which provides essential nutrients, antibodies, and emotional bonding. Early initiation of breastfeeding within the first hour of birth enhances the likelihood of successful long-term breastfeeding and supports optimal growth and development. Breastfeeding offers numerous benefits, including the prevention of infections, reduced risk of chronic conditions, and improved cognitive and emotional development. Colostrum, the first milk produced, is particularly rich in immunological factors that help protect the neonate from infections. Additionally, breastfeeding promotes maternal health by aiding postpartum recovery and reducing the risk of certain cancers.
