CEMACH release: Caring for the babies of diabetic mothers
The report recommendations are for:
Mothers with diabetes to receive advice about the benefits of breastfeeding for their child during the antenatal period
Babies to be with their mothers immediately after birth, provided there are no postnatal complications. Early mother-baby contact helps to establish breastfeeding and to regulate the temperature in babies.
Encouragement of breastfeeding within an hour of birth, but all mothers should be supported in the feeding method of their choice
Better guidelines and training for healthcare professionals in the management of babies of mothers with diabetes _________________ Dr Miss. Raj Walavalkar MBBS MRCOG
