"As was already mentioned, the most important outcome of Unang Yakap is the promotion of breastfeeding. Since the baby is placed closely to the mother’s breast he becomes familiar with the breast as the source of food. Unang Yakap emphasizes the need to breastfeed within the first 60-90 minutes. It is during the early stage of breastfeeding when the protein and nutrient-rich colostrum is released. This gives the newborn baby protection against infections.
Remember: Formula milk should not be given. There should be no teats or pacifiers to avoid nipple confusion. Mother’s breast should be the first and only source of food to ensure breastfeeding success.
