In 2007 the Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health (CEMACH) made clear recommendations about the care that mothers with diabetes and their infants should receive in line with UNICEF's (2009) evidence based standards and as a response to concerns about the care of the newborn baby (CEMACH 2007). The report demonstrated suboptimal management with regards to neonatal hypoglycaemia, early feeding, lower breastfeeding rates and a higher than expected number of admissions to neonatal units for infants of diabetic mothers. This second paper shares ideas of targeted interventions that support diabetic mothers to breastfeed.
