Still -friendly structures: support for mothers in Amstetten

V on September 30th to October 6th the world light week took place in the State Clinic Amstetten, under the motto "Still-friendly structures for everyone". This initiative aims to promote the awareness of the support of breastfeeding mothers and to draw attention to the challenges with which many women are faced.

Current statistics show that only about 40 percent of mothers only breastfeed their newborns up to the fourth month, although almost 90 percent originally planned. The most common hurdles are lack of information and inadequate advice during this crucial time. In order to remedy this grievance, the State Clinic Amstetten is active for comprehensive support for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.

Individual support and health care

The midwives of the house already provide information about the advantages of breastfeeding during pregnancy, which plays an important role in the health of mother and child. "Breastfeeding helps to prevent many diseases and promotes the bond between mother and child. A positive attitude towards breastfeeding and the early examination of the topic are crucial for success," explains Tina Auer, head of the area at the state clinic. The team offers individual support with the breastfeeding start and accompanies the mothers throughout the weekly.

The creation of a relaxed atmosphere is particularly important to enable enough skin contact between mother and child. This refers to direct physical contact, which is essential for the binding and well -being of mother and child.

a certified baby Friendly Hospital

The State Clinic Amstetten was certified 27 years ago as a "Baby Friendly Hospital" after it had met the international criteria. This award underlines the high standards in the care of mothers and newborns. In order to continue to lead the quality seal, the setup must undergo regular external assessments that check the quality of the care. This continuous review ensures that the high standards are always observed.

The promotion of a still -friendly environment is not only a prerequisite for the award, but also an expression of the commitment of the state clinic for the well -being of mothers and their babies. The goal remains to reduce the obstacles to breastfeeding and to encourage even more women to pursue their still goals in order to maximize the advantages of breastfeeding for the health of women and children.

The World Still Week and the initiative of the Amstetten State Clinic are important to sharpen the awareness of supporting breastfeeding mothers and to promote the exchange of information. In this phase of life, in which mothers often face major challenges, it is crucial that they receive the necessary support.
