Optional activityObserve a mother and baby in skin-to-skin contact soon after birth. What behaviours of the baby do you see that are leading to the baby going to the breast? 21 The perineum is cut to give more room for the baby’s head. The perineum is then stitched after the birth. 22Invasive procedures include vaginal examinations, amniocentesis, cardiocentesis or taking a sample from the placenta, artificial rupture of membranes, episiotomy, and blood transfusions as well as suctioning of the newborn. 23Universal Precautions protect the birth attendant so they do not need to fear the woman with HIV and also protect the woman from any infections that the birth attendant may have. 24If there is a risk of harm to the baby a support person needs to be present both to encourage the mother to hold her baby and for the baby’s protection. 25There is no research evidence to advise on when a full-term healthy baby who is not breastfed needs to get a first feed. Most healthy babies who are not breastfeeding do not need to be fed in the first hour or two after birth. 26See section on colostrum in the Additional Information section of Session 3.
