When is it required?
Mother disregarding breastfeeding: when it is important to make a mother understand the benefits of breastfeeding for both the mother’s and child’s health.
When the mother is under medications: while using medication(s) for other illness(es), the mother should be explained how to breastfeed and take necessary precautions.
HIV infected mothers: it is important to counsel an HIV-infected mother well on how to breastfeed and provide an HIV-free life to the baby.
Mother unable to breastfeed properly: when the mother is unable to breastfeed well, a counselor should help by supporting her.
