運用生物哺育法提升產婦母乳哺餵技巧

Improving Breastfeeding Skills by Using Biological Nurturing Methods

生物哺育法（Biological Nurturing，BN）是由英國助產士及護理師Suzanne Colson所發展，以神經生物學為基礎的母乳哺餵方法，主要強調透過母親自然且放鬆的身體姿勢，及母嬰間大面積的身體接觸，誘發母親與新生兒在哺乳過程中的本能行為與神經反射，協助建立自然且有效的母乳哺餵過程。生物哺育法強調產婦哺乳時不需刻意坐直或以特定方式支撐嬰兒，而是採取自己感到舒適、放鬆且能夠持續的姿勢，將嬰兒放置於胸腹部，讓嬰兒以趴臥或傾斜的姿勢接觸母親乳房。新生兒具有尋乳、吸吮及含乳等與生俱來的反射行為，適當的身體姿勢與環境可促進這些本能反射。生物哺育法具有操作簡單、自然及容易學習的特性，當嬰兒能維持正確的含乳姿勢時，可減少母親哺乳時的不適及乳頭疼痛、增加產婦對母乳哺餵的信心與樂趣，提升哺乳過程中的愉悅感，並促進母嬰互動及育兒行為，並有助於建立較正向的哺乳經驗。

Biological Nurturing (BN) is a breastfeeding method developed by British midwife and nurse Suzanne Colson. Based on neurobiology, it emphasizes inducing instinctive behaviors and neural reflexes in both mother and newborn during breastfeeding through the mother's natural and relaxed posture and extensive physical contact, thus helping to establish a natural and effective breastfeeding process. With BN, the mother does not need to sit upright or support the baby in a specific way. Instead, she adopts a comfortable, relaxed, and sustainable position, placing the baby on her chest and abdomen, allowing the baby to rest on their stomach or at an angle against the mother's breast. Newborns have innate reflex behaviors such as rooting, sucking, and latching onto the breast. Appropriate body posture and environment can promote these instinctive reflexes. Biological breastfeeding is simple, natural, and easy to learn. When the baby can maintain the correct latching posture, it can reduce the mother's discomfort and nipple pain during breastfeeding, increase the mother's confidence and enjoyment of breastfeeding, enhance the pleasure of the breastfeeding process, promote mother-infant interaction and parenting behavior, and help establish a more positive breastfeeding experience.
