    Postpartum depression at “day 2-3 post-delivery “is higher than previous thought. “Impaired mother- infant bonding was associated with older mothers, history of depression, and low social support” (Badr, Ayvazian, Lameh, & Charafeddine, 2018).

    Nursing intervention to provide mother infant bonding is needed to provide the best care and outcome for two patients. A breastfeeding care plan to be imitated in the hospital provides the education and support to help achieve this goal and help prevent many other healthcare risks.

    Social support is also important for breast feeding mothers. A study done in Europe found that “Breastfeeding support networks positively influence the prevalence and duration of breastfeeding. Thus, formal and informal support favors longer periods of exclusive breastfeeding, whereas the lack of support leaves women feeling insecure when breastfeeding. Therefore, good policies and intervention strategies are needed to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding to improve the health problems we face today” (Baño-Piñero, I., et al, 2018). The rates of breast feeding are increasing and with support from the public, more women would feel empowered and comfortable to breastfeed.

    Its impressive how the implementation of this initiative of family bonding time had about a 21% increase in exclusive breast feeding rates. It seems that some of the focus of education should also include education to the expectant parents before delivery on the importance of asking friends and family to respect that time as well as visitors continued to be a major source of interruptions in the implementation of family bonding time.
