Sponsored by University Hospital, Brest · Observational
Breastfeeding is recommended for preterm infants. Development of breastfeeding is an important issue, requiring the involvement of medical and paramedical staff in neonatal units. There are few data concerning the fathers of preterm infants. However, the role of the father is identified in the literature as a key factor in the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding. In our neonatal unit care, reasons for breastfeeding high rates are not identified but may be related to the father being in close and constant contact with the medical and paramedical staff. In fact, fathers are often first in contact with caregivers. They can be invested in the implementation of nursing care, skin to skin, as well as being asked to support the development of their child in the service and at home.
