Abstract
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that most mothers who gave birth through an emergency cesarean delivery face an issue with delayed onset of lactation. Alternatively, several reports showed that early feeding can rapidly stimulate breast milk production. As ginger is a medical herb that can increase breast milk stimulation, having the mother drink ginger juice and begin to feed the child early may stimulate and increase the breast milk supply of mothers who have had an emergency cesarean delivery.
OBJECTIVE: To study and compare the onset of lactation in emergency cesarean deliveries for mothers who engage in conventional feeding and those who engage in early feeding while drinking ginger juice and water.
METHODS: This study collected data from women who had an emergency cesarean delivery without complications. One hundred five women were divided into three groups of thirty-five; the groups were as follows: an early feeding group with ginger juice, a feeding group with water, and a conventional feeding procedure group. All three groups recorded information on the onset of lactation.
RESULTS: The results of the three different groups showed that the duration of onset of full breast with secretion in the early feeding group with ginger juice, the early feeding group with water, and the conventional feeding procedure group were 35.3±0.9, 41.0±10.0 and 50.5±10.1, respectively. Furthermore, the early feeding group with ginger juice had a shorter onset of lactation time than the early feeding group with water (p=0.02), and the early feeding group with water had a shorter onset lactation time than the conventional feeding procedure group (p<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: The mothers who underwent an emergency cesarean delivery in the early feeding group with ginger juice had a shorter onset of lactation time than the early feeding group with water and the conventional feeding procedure group without serious complications.
