ROLE OF MIDWIVES IN BREASTFEEDING COUNSELLING
The data of the questioning of puerperas in postpartum departments of the Research Institute of AH and P on the issues of breastfeeding awareness are presented. A sufficiently high level of knowledge of women about the benefits and advantages of breastfeeding for the infant, as well as for the puerperas themselves, has been determined. The obtained results of the questionnaire show the important role of nursing staff in supporting breastfeeding and, therefore, reduces the risk of obstetric complications. At the same time, the disadvantages of counseling were also identified.
