Baby-friendly hospital initiative training program

The Baby-Friendly Hospital Training Program is a critical intervention to improve maternal and infant health outcomes by promoting and supporting breastfeeding worldwide. It empowers the maternity nurses in this study to create an environment that prioritizes the needs of mothers and babies, ensuring the best possible start to life. It will be conducted for eight sessions (theoretical and practical), each session for about 20-30 minutes. It will include the importance of early initiation of breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth, the importance of exclusive and continued breastfeeding, positions of breastfeeding, the importance of avoiding pre-lacteal feeds and unnecessary supplementation, advantages of rooming-in, and how to manage common breast and nipple conditions. The researcher will design an Arabic booklet and distribute it to the nurses at the first session as a guide to reinforce the teaching
