Abstract

RESUMEN El contacto piel con piel (CPP) entre la madre y el recién nacido tras el nacimiento es considerado como uno de los indicadores de Buenas Prácticas Clínicas, ya que ofrece múltiples beneficios para ambos: reduce el nivel de estrés en la madre, facilita el desarrollo del vínculo afectivo, el éxito de la lactancia materna y la adaptación del recién nacido a la vida extrauterina. Sin embargo, en la mayoría de los hospitales se separa a madre e hijo el tiempo que dura la recuperación tras la cesárea, lo que puede extenderse varias horas. En este artículo se analizaron las ventajas del CPP tras las cesáreas y las principales dificultades para llevarlo a cabo, que incluyen inestabilidad materna o neonatal y reticencias de los propios profesionales. Se detalla un modelo de procedimiento de actuación para su puesta en marcha, de forma segura y que a la vez contribuya a humanizar el nacimiento.

Translated abstract

ABSTRACT Skin to skin contact (SSC) between mother and child immediately after birth is now considered to be an indicator of good clinical practice as it offers multiple benefits for both: it reduces stress levels of the mother, it facilitates affective bonding, breastfeeding and the newborns adaptation to extra-uterine life. However, in the vast majority of hospitals, mother and child are separated until complete recovery following a caesarean section, which can be several hours. In this article the advantages of SSC after a caesarean section, were analyzed, as well as the main difficulties in order to carry it out, which include maternal or neonatal instability and the reticence of the professionals themselves. An actuation procedure model is detailed, for its implementation in a safe manner and that at the same time, contribute to humanize the birth.

The impact of caesarean section on breastfeeding initiation, duration and difficulties in the first four months postpartum

Amy Hobbs, Cynthia Mannion, Sheila W. McDonald … (2016)

Background The caesarean section (c-section) rate in Canada is 27.1 %, well above the 5–15 % of deliveries suggested by the World Health Organization in 2009. Emergency and planned c-sections may adversely affect breastfeeding initiation, milk supply and infant breastfeeding receptivity compared to vaginal deliveries. Our study examined mode of delivery and breastfeeding initiation, duration, and difficulties reported by mothers at 4 months postpartum. Methods The All Our Babies study is a prospective pregnancy cohort in Calgary, Alberta, that began in 2008. Participants completed questionnaires at <25 and 34–36 weeks gestation and approximately 4 months postpartum. Demographic, mental health, lifestyle, and health services data were obtained. Women giving birth to singleton infants were included (n = 3021). Breastfeeding rates and difficulties according to mode of birth (vaginal, planned c-section and emergency c-section) were compared using cross-tabulations and chi-square tests. A multivariable logistic regression model was created to examine the association between mode of birth on breastfeeding duration to 12 weeks postpartum. Results More women who delivered by planned c-section had no intention to breastfeed or did not initiate breastfeeding (7.4 % and 4.3 % respectively), when compared to women with vaginal births (3.4 % and 1.8 %, respectively) and emergency c-section (2.7 % and 2.5 %, respectively). Women who delivered by emergency c-section were found to have a higher proportion of breastfeeding difficulties (41 %), and used more resources before (67 %) and after (58 %) leaving the hospital, when compared to vaginal delivery (29 %, 40 %, and 52 %, respectively) or planned c-sections (33 %, 49 %, and 41 %, respectively). Women who delivered with a planned c-section were more likely (OR = 1.61; 95 % CI: 1.14, 2.26; p = 0.014) to discontinue breastfeeding before 12 weeks postpartum compared to those who delivered vaginally, controlling for income, education, parity, preterm birth, maternal physical and mental health, ethnicity and breastfeeding difficulties. Conclusions We found that when controlling for socio-demographic and labor and delivery characteristics, planned c-section is associated with early breastfeeding cessation. Anticipatory guidance around breastfeeding could be provided to women considering a planned c-section. As well, additional supportive care could be made available to lactating women with emergency c-sections, within the first 24 hours post birth and throughout the early postpartum period.

Early contact versus separation: effects on mother-infant interaction one year later.

Ann-Marie E Widström, Ann-Sofi Matthiesen, Anna-Berit Ransjö-Arvidson … (2009)

A tradition of separation of the mother and baby after birth still persists in many parts of the world, including some parts of Russia, and often is combined with swaddling of the baby. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare possible long-term effects on mother-infant interaction of practices used in the delivery and maternity wards, including practices relating to mother-infant closeness versus separation. A total of 176 mother-infant pairs were randomized into four experimental groups: Group I infants were placed skin-to-skin with their mothers after birth, and had rooming-in while in the maternity ward. Group II infants were dressed and placed in their mothers' arms after birth, and roomed-in with their mothers in the maternity ward. Group III infants were kept in the nursery both after birth and while their mothers were in the maternity ward. Group IV infants were kept in the nursery after birth, but roomed-in with their mothers in the maternity ward. Equal numbers of infants were either swaddled or dressed in baby clothes. Episodes of early suckling in the delivery ward were noted. The mother-infant interaction was videotaped according to the Parent-Child Early Relational Assessment (PCERA) 1 year after birth. The practice of skin-to-skin contact, early suckling, or both during the first 2 hours after birth when compared with separation between the mothers and their infants positively affected the PCERA variables maternal sensitivity, infant's self-regulation, and dyadic mutuality and reciprocity at 1 year after birth. The negative effect of a 2-hour separation after birth was not compensated for by the practice of rooming-in. These findings support the presence of a period after birth (the early "sensitive period") during which close contact between mother and infant may induce long-term positive effect on mother-infant interaction. In addition, swaddling of the infant was found to decrease the mother's responsiveness to the infant, her ability for positive affective involvement with the infant, and the mutuality and reciprocity in the dyad. Skin-to-skin contact, for 25 to 120 minutes after birth, early suckling, or both positively influenced mother-infant interaction 1 year later when compared with routines involving separation of mother and infant.
