| Abstract | Abstract Objective: To compare successful infant sucking among skin-to-skin contact and non-skin-to-skin contact in postpartum motherinfant separation 6-24 hours. Methods: A randomized-controlled trial in 64 mother-infant dyads with normal vaginal delivery and separation 6-24 hours. Samples were randomized and equally allocated to skin-to-skin contact (SSC) and conventional care (CC). The primary outcome was successful infant sucking rate at the first breastfeed and the second assessment at 6-12 hours later by using the Infant Breast-Feeding Assessment Tool (IBFAT). The secondary outcomes were exclusive breastfeeding rate at discharge day, one month and three months postpartum. Results: Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. The mean IBFAT score at the first and second breastfeed in the SSC group were significantly higher than the CC group (10.47?1.41 vs.8.00?1.42 and 11.94?0.25 vs. 10.53?1.11, p < 0.001 respectively). The exclusive breastfeeding rate at discharge was significantly higher in the SSC group (96.9% in SSC group and 65.6% in CC group, p < 0.001), but not significantly difference at one and three months postpartum. Conclusions: postpartum mother-infant separation with SSC significantly enhanced successful infant sucking and the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at discharge. |
