 RECAP
From the previous lesson, it discussed about pregnancy care of pre-natal and post-

and labour delivery for mom and baby. NBS or newborn screening is the practice of testing

LESSON

Essential Newborn Care - early initiation and exclusive breastfeeding, thermal care
(including prompt drying and covering at birth, maximizing skin-to-skin contact, delayed
bathing, maintaining (warm chain), hygiene practices (including cord-care and caregiver
handwashing).
Unang Yakap - is the campaign to spread the use of Essential Newborn Care (ENC)
protocol
Unang Yakap: Steps
1. Immediate and thorough drying for 30 seconds to one minute warms the new born
and stimulates breathing.
2. Early skin-to-skin contact between mother and new born, and delayed washing for
at least six hours prevents hypothermia, infection and hypoglycaemia.
3. Properly-timed cord clamping and cutting prevents anemia and protects against
brain haemorrhage in premature new born. This means waiting for the cord
pulsations to stop (between 1 to 3 minutes)
4. Continues non-separation of new born and mother for early breastfeeding protects
infants from dying from infection. The first feed provides colostrum.
Advantages of Breastfeeding for both Mother and Child

1. It is economical and nutritious.

2. It promotes emotional bonding between the child and the mother.
3. Mother’s milk has an antibody that protects the infant from certain diseases.
Breastmilk- is the best food since it contains essential nutrients suitable for the
infant’s needs. It is also nature’s first immunization, enabling the infant to fight potentially
serious infections. It contains growth factors that enhance the maturization of an infant’s
organ systems.
Lactation- It is the period of milk production initiated by the prolactin hormone in the
mammary glands. The mother’s milk is bluish and watery. It has approximately 67 Kcalories /
100 mL or 20 kcalories/ oz. and 1.2 grams protein per 100 mL An average of 850 mL of
mother’s milk is produced everyday. The first thick yellowish fluid that comes out from
second to the fifth day after delivery is called colostrum. It should be given to all newborns
because of its high protein contents. Healthy childcare entails breastfeeding of the baby.
Breastfeeding- It is the traditional and ideal form of infant feeding, meeting an
infant’s nutritional needs for his first four to six months of life. Human milk is clean. It lowers
the risk of intestinal illness and general infection. Mother’s milk provides a host of protective
factors both cellular and hormonal. Breastmilk contains antibodies that helps the immune
system of the infant strong. It is non-allergenic and easily digested.
Republic Act No. 7600
This Act shall be known as "The Rooming-In and Breast-Feeding Act of 1992.” The State
adopts rooming-in as a national policy to encourage, protect, and support the practice of
breastfeeding. It shall create an environment where the basic physical, emotional, and
psychological needs of mothers and infants are fulfilled through the practice of rooming-in
and breastfeeding.
Importance of Immunization in Protecting Children’s Health
Immunization is a simple and effective way of protecting children from serious
diseases. It not only helps protect individuals, it also protects the broader community by
minimising the spread of disease. Vaccines work by triggering the immune system to fight
against certain diseases.

WRAP–UP

Changes in the mother’s body during pregnancy are evident due to the developing
fetus. Pregnant woman should watch for her health, she should submit herself to regular
check-ups and healthy lifestyle to give the baby sufficient nutrition. Giving birth can be safe
and easy but during some deliveries, unexpected life-threatening problems may arise.
Delivering in a hospital with qualified doctor is the safest way. Breastfeeding is essential in a
proper childcare. Mother’s milk is economical and nutritious and it promotes emotional
bonding between the mother and the child.
 VALUING

In addition to this lesson, all mothers need to maintain a healthy diet to promote
healing and recovery. The weight gain in pregnancy helps build stores for the recovery and
for breastfeeding. After delivery, all mothers need to eat well so that they can be healthy and
active and able to care for their baby.
